The '''Xfinity Center''' (originally the '''Great Woods Center for the Performing Arts''' and commonly '''Great Woods''') is an outdoor [[amphitheatre]] located in [[Mansfield, Massachusetts]]. The venue opened during the summer of 1986 with a capacity of 12,000.

'''Comcast Center''' (formerly known as "'''Great Woods'''") is a [[Live Nation]]-owned outdoor [[amphitheatre]] located in [[Mansfield, Massachusetts]], 30 miles south of [[Boston, Massachusetts]], [[United States|USA]] at the intersection of [[Interstate 495 (Massachusetts)|I-495]] and [[Route 140 (Massachusetts)|Route 140]]. The seating capacity is approximately 19,900. Approximately 7,000 are covered seats in the pavilion, 7,000 are open-air seats, and general admission is on the lawn. It was originally known as '''Great Woods Center for the Performing Arts''' until 1999 when [[Tweeter (store)|Tweeter]] purchased the naming rights renaming the venue; '''Tweeter Center'''. However, due to recent financial struggles and possible bankruptcy, the Tweeter Home Entertainment Group opted out of its naming contract with the venue. Beginning in the summer of 2008, [[Comcast]] purchased the naming rights officially renaming the venue Comcast Center. The 2008 [[WBCN]] River Rave was the last event at the "''Tweeter Center''", the next day, there was another event from ([[sister station]]) [[WZLX]] at the "''Comcast Center''". Because it is an outdoor venue, the Comcast Center is generally open May through September. The Comcast Center has been named to host the 23rd annual [[Farm Aid]] concert to support American agricultural workers.

==History==
The venue was proposed by Don Law, John E. Drew and Sherman Wolf in 1985. Originally, the suggested site was in [[Brookline, Massachusetts]]. At that time, the venue was planned to be a performing arts center, consisting of [[concert hall]], [[auditorium]] and [[black box theater]]. After conducting research, Law concluded the New England region was in desperate need of an outdoors venue (at the time, the main outdoor venues were [[Tanglewood]], [[Cape Cod Melody Tent]], and the South Shore Music Circus).<ref name="prov"/> The performing arts center plan was changed to an amphitheater. The site was moved to Mansfield to create a regional venue, being within {{convert|40|mi|km|abbr=}} of [[Providence, Rhode Island|Providence]], Boston, [[Worcester, Massachusetts|Worcester]] and [[Cape Cod]].

Xfinity Center

The Xfinity Center (originally the Great Woods Center for the Performing Arts and commonly Great Woods) is an outdoor amphitheatre located in Mansfield, Massachusetts. The venue opened during the summer of 1986 with a capacity of 12,000. It was expanded after 2000 to 19,900; 7,000 reserved seats, 7,000 lawn seats and 5,900 general admission seats.[2] The season for the venue is typically from mid May until late September. In 2010, it was named Top Grossing Amphitheater by Billboard.[3] It mainly hosts concerts; other events, such as graduation ceremonies, including that of Mansfield High School, occasionally take place.

History

[edit]

The venue was proposed by Don Law, John E. Drew and Sherman Wolf in 1985. Originally, the suggested site was in Brookline, Massachusetts. At that time, the venue was planned to be a performing arts center, consisting of concert hall, auditorium and black box theater. After conducting research, Law concluded the New England region was in desperate need of an outdoors venue (at the time, the main outdoor venues were Tanglewood, Cape Cod Melody Tent, and the South Shore Music Circus).[3] The performing arts center plan was changed to an amphitheater. The site was moved to Mansfield to create a regional venue, being within 40 miles (64 km) of Providence, Boston, Worcester and Cape Cod.

The venue opened June 13, 1986, as the Great Woods Center for the Performing Arts; with a performance by Yo-Yo Ma and the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra.[3] It was one of the busiest venues in New England, hosting nearly 80 concerts per season. Over the years, additional amphitheaters were added to the region. The Xfinity Theatre in Hartford and the Leader Bank Pavilion in Boston brought competition to the area, bringing the venue to an average of 36 events per season.[4]

In 1998, the owner of venue, Don Law Company, was sold to SFX Entertainment and naming rights were sold to Tweeter Home Entertainment a year later, with the venue now becoming the "Tweeter Center for the Performing Arts".[5] When the electronics retailer faced bankruptcy in 2007, multi-media organization Comcast bought naming rights, with the venue becoming the Comcast Center in 2008. The company renamed the venue "Xfinity Center" in 2014, to correspond with its current product branding.[6]
