Tweeter Center for the Performing Arts

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tweeter Center for the Performing Arts is a Live Nation-owned outdoor amphitheater located in Mansfield, Massachusetts, 30 miles south of Boston, Massachusetts, USA at the intersection of I-495 and 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 formerly known as Great Woods Performing Arts Center until 1999 when Tweeter purchased the naming rights.
