The Verizon Wireless Amphitheater was an open-air amphitheater, located in Selma, Texas. Its overall capacity was 20,000, with 6,000 seated and approximately 14,000 on the lawn, and has more than 4,200 parking spaces. The facility was purchased by River City Community Church in 2011. ==History== The facility was opened in 2001 by Clear Channel Entertainment. That company's successor, Live Nation, put the facility on the market in 2007 and sold it to a Dallas-based real estate company, Stream Realty, in 2009. The sale included a 7-year restriction against its continuing use as a concert venue.〔("Live Nation inks deal to sell amphitheater" ), ''San Antonio Business Journal'', March 1, 2009.〕 After initially considering redevelopment, Stream Realty decided to market the property for resale. Later that year, a large local church, River City Community Church, entered into a contract to buy the facility, but had to cancel the transaction (and forfeit a deposit) after failing to find financing.〔David DeKunder, ("Church hits roadblock in bid to buy amphitheater" ), ''San Antonio Express-News'', December 2, 2009.〕 However, the property remained on the market, and in 2011 River City Community Church was successful in its renewed effort to buy the facility.〔Abe Levy, ("Old Verizon Wireless Amphitheater a godsend to growing church: River City Community Church counts blessings after acquiring Verizon Wireless Amphitheater." ) ''San Antonio Express-News'', May 28, 2011.〕 The church has commenced renovation of the facility.〔Hollie O'Connor, ("Churches pull out all stops for big crowds" ), ''San Antonio Express-News'', April 6, 2012.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Verizon Wireless Amphitheater (Selma, Texas)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
