Houston-area concert venues respond to plans to lift restrictions
HOUSTON โ With the state of Texasโ occupancy and mask restrictions set to be rescinded next week, some Houston-area performance venues are revisiting their policies. โThat was great news coming from the governor,โ said Jerry MacDonald, the president and CEO of Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in The Woodlands. That means the pavilionโs primary revenue generator, big concerts and other large events, has been a bust. MacDonald said the Governorโs rollback of restrictions will help, but while the change takes effect next week donโt look for any big concerts at the big pavilion any time soon. He said thatโs because it takes months to plan a concert and most states remain with restrictions.
