Could Austin handle another large capacity (seated) amphitheatre? Perhaps one dug out into the hill country for acoustics? I realize we already have 360 & Moody, but the latter seems a bit more limited. There's also a part of me that wishes west Austin was more mixed-use and accessible to everyone. I'm basically on an arts kick and will probably post about planetariums, museums and observation towers until we get one

Don't forget the small but charming Symphony Square!
Couldn't agree more on the need for more of them and other cultural institutions though. Feel sometimes like the city relies too much on the university (Ransom, LBJ and Blanton are great, don't get my wrong). A real performance hall rather than the value-engineered Long Center stage would be amazing... (but as a composer/musician I'm biased). I do have to admit the Long Center is more accessible and mixed-use for other types of performances, but it's no symphonic hall.
