Sunken Garden Theater, the storied outdoor venue that helped define San Antonio as the "Heavy Metal Capital of the World," is about to get a $62 million facelift. Brackenridge Park Conservancy, the City of San Antonio and Bexar County are partnering on renovations to the deteriorating site, built in 1930. Those upgrades will include a timber-frame roof, fixed stadium seating, a grass berm for additional spectators, additional bathrooms and a restoration of the site's historic waterfall features. The reconfigured venue would be able to seat up to 7,000 people. The construction schedule depends on how quickly funding comes together.
