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

If I could give this venue negative stars, I would. The security there is grossly unable to handle protection for people attending concerts there. After an assault on June 13th in which a kid was left in critical condition after the Rascal Flatts concert, you would think they would have improved security measures.
The security at the Kid Rock concert on July 1 was more interested in telling people that they couldn't smoke cigarettes than preventing another assault. I witnessed two large guys harassing two girls and then attacking a much smaller guy who was with the girls. As security was no where to be seen, I had to break up the fight before they seriously injured (and possibly killed based on pushing his head to the concrete) this smaller guy. When I pulled one of the guys off, he came after me just before security arrived. Security was much too small to handle these guys on their own so myself and other attendees of the concert had to help. Then, later in the concert, one of the guys who was supposedly thrown out of the concert came back to our section and was threatening to assault me as I left the concert. How is that guy able to get back into the concert???????
I will never attend another concert at that venue.
