The venue opened on July 7, 1992, with a performance by the Gipsy Kings. At the time, the venue held up to 5,000 spectators. In 2005, former owner, Harrah's Entertainment, hired San Francisco–based promoters, Another Planet Entertainment, for venue operations and event booking. Launching the new concert series, the temporary venue was moved from the north lawn to the parking lot. The capacity increased from 5,000 to 9,300.
