History

After months of negotiations, Hamilton County commissioners and Cincinnati City Council approved in November 2019 the finalization of plans to construct a music venue at The Banks, adjacent to Paul Brown Stadium and Smale Riverfront Park. The venue would be built and operated by Music and Event Management, Inc. (MEMI), the nonprofit concert arm of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra.[2]

In December 2019, MEMI announced that the under-construction venue would be named after Andrew J. Brady, a local musician and music educator.[3]

gollark: Too bad.
gollark: Good news! The Nobody Conference was successful, so the rules have been mildly edited and nobody is probably coming back.
gollark: ... it's in the constructor now! WHAT DOES IT WANT FROM ME
gollark: ++help
gollark: I did `bot.help_command = commands.HelpCommand(verify_checks=False)` and apparently ++help now does literally nothing.
