The venue was originally known as the Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre at Encore Park when it opened in 2008.
The amphitheatre's design intentionally utilizes the natural topography to create sloping views for the lawn area.
The venue's roof spans 30,000 square feet, providing protection for the orchestra and lower loge sections during rain.
It is managed by Live Nation, the world's largest concert promoter.
The facility was constructed as a joint public-private partnership between the City of Alpharetta and private developers.
