Virgin Money Arena is a pop-up amphitheater on the grounds of Gosforth park in Newcastle England and they have figured out how to have social distancing concerts...
There was 2,500 on 500 spaced-out viewing platforms, each of the platforms are spaced 6 in a half feet apart(2 meters) and holds a maximum of five people each.
Platforms all offered a great view of the stage walking traffic to and from the bathroom was marked as one-way to avoid congestion or paths crossing.
Food and beverages were ordered remotely and delivered to the platforms.
Big Jim and Ryan welcomed Louise Hodges to the show to talk about the concerts and tell us how they pulled them off..Louise is the Consumer Communications team leader for Virgin Money.

Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf!
Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
