The Toyota Amphitheatre is an outdooramphitheater in unincorporatedYuba County, California, United States. It lies in-betweenPlumas Lake andWheatland; 35 miles north ofSacramento and 10 miles south ofMarysville. It holds 18,500 spectators and is primarily used forrock andcountry concerts.
The outdoor venue is a $25 million concert facility serving the greater Sacramento Valley and all of northern California.[2]
It was constructed and opened in 2000 as a 20,000 capacity amphitheatre on 90 acres (36 ha) in Yuba County. Measure R, the public initiative that allowed the amphitheatre to be built passed with 85% of the vote in 1999.[3] Original plans featured sharing the location with a NASCAR-style racetrack, the Yuba County Motorplex. Due to concerns capacity was reduced to 18,500 pending completion of a highway off-ramp on nearbyState Route 70. The seating is divided between fixed (approximately 8,000) stadium-style seats and the balance (approximately 10,500) open lawn seating. The lower fixed seating area is divided into three primary seating sections, often referred to as the 100, 200 and Pit sections.[citation needed]
The project was led byBill Graham Presents andSFX Entertainment. When finished, it featured several notable improvements on theShoreline model including removable seats in the "pit" area, improved sight lines, and high sound quality. It opened in June 2000 with a sold-out concert featuringStone Temple Pilots andPapa Roach. Since then, the amphitheatre has featured more than 100 concerts and more than 2 million customers.[citation needed]
