Crews are putting the final touches on the new $45-million dollars amphitheater at Chautauqua Institution. On Tuesday inspectors gave the amphitheater a temporary certificate of occupancy. The entertainment venue is set to hold its season opening event on Saturday with comedian and former host of "The Tonight Show" Jay Leno. The Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin was suppose to perform, but canceled due to health reasons. The venue didn't come without a fight. People fought hard to keep the former amphitheater with decades of rich history.
