love live music. I'll drive 10 hours straight just to see a band I like two states over (I really did do that too, shoutout King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard at The Caverns in 2023).

I've seen shows in venues across the country, but there's none quite like Albany Med Health System at SPAC. They're undergoing some changes now, and they want you to be a permanent part of such a historic venue.

The Renovation

Albany Med Health System at SPAC, as we know and love it, isn't the only venue on the property. They also have the Spa Little Theater. This was initially built in the mid-1930s as a lecture hall, but has grown into a smaller, more intimate venue after SPAC bought it out in 2022.

It's been around for a little under a century, so it was obviously time for it to modernize. In December of 2025, SPAC broke ground on a massive $12 Million renovation of the theater, but they need to community's help to make it perfect.

The Seat Campaign

SPAC was built in 1966, quite literally on the backs of the Saratoga community. Practically the whole city came together to build something greater than themselves. It's that same sentiment SPAC wants to capture with these new renovations.

The renovation will allow you to literally buy a seat, and dedicate it to whoever you want. Friend? Family Member? Dog? It doesn't matter! Dedications will go for either $1,000 or $2,500, and are guaranteed to stay for at least 25 years.

You can reserve a seat at spac.org, or by emailing seatcampaign@spac.org.
