Verizon Wireless Amphitheater Mo Tickets

Verizon Wireless Amphitheater Mo
Located on 14141 Riverport Drive, Maryland Heights, Verizon Wireless Amphitheater is one of the biggest outdoor event venues of Missouri.

The amphitheatre is known to bring world-class musical talent and top-of-the-line bands to the city of St. Louis. It attracts huge crowd during its live events that are supposed to be increased in the upcoming season as many more topmost acts are expected to perform here in the near future.

First opened in 1991, the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater soon registered its name among the country's premier live venues for concerts and live shows. Though it has changed three names in the past two decades, the charm and appeal remained the same. Indeed, the venue is growing more dynamic and more facilitated with every passing day.

The Verizon Wireless Amphitheater was built with $12 million approximately. It was named Riverport Amphitheatre and opened with a Steve Winwood concert on June 14, 1991. The new facility was welcomed by the residents of St. Louis and it instantly became the hub of live music in the region.

Barely after a month of its opening the Riverport Amphitheatre became the site of notorious Riverport Riot that happened during a Guns N' Roses concert played here on July 2, 1991. While the riot resulted to ban the Guns N' Roses performances all over Saint Louis, it did not put any hold on the buzzing life of Riverport Amphitheatre as many hot bands graced its stage in years that followed.

After eleven years of gates-shattering concert presentations, Riverport Amphitheatre got a new name when Missouri based UMB Bank acquired its naming rights for five years in 2002. Then in November 2006, New Jersey based voice and data network Verizon Wireless acquired the naming rights of this outdoor venue, making it the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater MO.

The change of name made it the ninth live performance venue to have the Verizon Wireless name. There are venues with same names in Houston, San Antonio, Charlotte, Indianapolis, North Carolina, Virginia, Los Angeles and other places of United States.

Today the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater represents the spirited side of Missouri. The venue can host up to 20,000 concertgoers or more depending on the nature of event. The venue is well-equipped with all the modern amenities including state-of-the-art sound and lighting system.
