Gexa Energy Pavilion is an amphitheater located in Dallas' Fair Park. 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. The center was then called Smirnoff Music Centre. Naming rights were awarded again in January 2008 to Superpages.com Center.[1] It was renamed in 2011 to Gexa Energy Pavilion.[2]
The venue is operated by Live Nation Concerts, an entity of Live Nation Entertainment.
