History [edit]
The venue was proposed by Don Police, John E. Drew and Sherman Wolf in 1985. Originally, the suggested site was in Brookline, Massachusetts. At that time, the venue was planned to be a performing arts center, consisting of concert hall, auditorium and black box theater. After conducting research, Law concluded the New England region was in desperate need of an outdoors venue (at the time, the main outdoor venues were Tanglewood, Cape Cod Melody Tent, and the South Shore Music Circus).[iii] The performing arts center was converted into an amphitheatre. The site was moved to Mansfield to create a regional venue, being within 40 miles (64 km) of Providence, Boston, Worcester and Cape Cod.
The venue opened June xiii, 1986 as the Peachy Woods Center for the Performing Arts; with a performance past Yo-Yo Ma and the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra.[3] It was one of the busiest venues in New England, hosting nearly fourscore concerts per season. Over the years, additional amphitheaters were added to the region. The Xfinity Theatre in Hartford and the Leader Banking concern Pavilion in Boston brought competition to the area, bringing the venue to an average of 36 events per season.[4]
In 1998, the owner of venue, Don Law Company, was sold to SFX Entertainment and naming rights were sold to Tweeter Home Entertainment a yr afterwards, with the venue now becoming the "Tweeter Heart for the Performing Arts".[5] When the electronics retailer faced bankruptcy in 2007, multi-media arrangement Comcast bought naming rights, with the venue condign the Comcast Center in 2008. The company renamed the venue "Xfinity Eye" in 2014, to represent with its current production branding.[6]
