Shoreline Park is a park in Mountain View, California, USA. It was originally a landfill for San Francisco garbage. ...
The year it opened, a fan attending a Steve Winwood concert flicked a cigarette lighter and ignited methane that had been leaking from a landfill underneath the theatre. Several small fires were reported that season. After those incidents the city of Mountain View commissioned methane testing studies to define the locus of methane vapors emanating from the soil within the Shoreline Ampitheater.[1] These tests were used in developing a design for improved methane monitoring and more efficient methane extraction to assure the ampitheater became safe as an outdoor venue. Ultimately the entire lawn was removed to allow the installation of a gas barrier and better methane removal equipment. This article does not cite any references or sources. ...
