Record crowd at Youngstown Amp as concertgoers experience city's DORA for first time

Officials with the Youngstown Foundation Amphitheater have announced that Thursday night's sold-out crowd for the Riley Green concert broke attendance record. 

Music will continue to fill the streets of  Downtown Youngstown this weekend and drinks will travel through the city's Designated Outdoor Refreshment Area (DORA).

The city's DORA officially opened for the season.

21 News spoke with some concertgoers who said they believe DORA will help draw in crowds this summer and make it easier to travel from place to place.

"There's been a lot of challenges downtown and I think it's something great for people who are coming down here for the concerts and the shows, even just going bar to bar on weekends, it's an added little extra for them," Jeff Vrabel from Poland said.

Another concert will take place Saturday at the Amphitheatre.

The "Rock the Rich Center" concert features 80s rocker Lita Ford and the Vindys. All the money from that show will go to the Rich Center for Autism.
