Superpages.com Center (formerly Smirnoff Music Center)

1818 First Ave, Dallas, TX, 75210
(214) 421-1111 - Website

Superpages.com Center is an outdoor performing arts center located at 1818 1st Ave in Dallas, Texas (USA). The stage/production area and covered pavilion will seat 7,533 persons while a sloping lawn will accommodate another 12,578. Completed in 1988, it is part of the Fair Park complex, which includes museums, an aquarium, gardens, and the cotton bowl football stadium. While the South Dallas site is owned by the City of Dallas, operation of the amphitheatre is contracted to a private leaseholder.

This amphitheatre is a popular venue for music concerts and has offered fans performances from acts like Coldplay, Widespread Panic, Phish, Tom Petty, Rush, Roger Waters, Iron Maiden, Drive-By Truckers, Blink-182, Jimmy Buffett, Kiss and Dave Matthews Band.

The venue opened in 1988 as the Coca-Cola Starplex Amphitheatre. After Coca-Cola's naming rights expired in 1998, the venue was known simply as Starplex Amphitheatre. In 2000, naming rights to the amphitheatre were sold to the Smirnoff vodka company as a result of a corporate sponsorship agreement with The House of Blues which currently operates the venue. The House of Blues is owned by Live Nation, a publicly traded live events company based in Beverly Hills, California.

Naming rights were awarded again in January 2008 and its current name is Superpages.com Center
