Coca-Cola Lakewood Amphitheatre


The Coca-Cola Lakewood Amphitheatre was also the HiFi Buys Amphitheatre and Lakewood Amphitheatre. It is currently Aaron's Amphitheatre at Lakewood. The theater has existed since 1989 in Atlanta, Georgia. The amphitheatre has 19,000 seats with 7,000 seats covered. The rest is uncovered and there is lawn seating too. The facility has state of the art equipment for musical concerts, stage performances, and other events.

It was built specifically as a musical event theater. To find the theater one needs to head about 4 miles south of downtown Atlanta. Guests of the stage have included Dave Matthews Band and Linkin Park. Linkin Park held their One Step Closer Project at the amphitheatre in 2004. In 2008 Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre at Encore Park opened in Alpharetta. This is a north side affluent neighborhood. Since then Aaron Amphitheatre has struggled a little to remain the premier outdoor facility.

Coca-Cola retained naming rights to the Lakewood Amphitheatre till 2000. It is unclear when they obtained the rights, but it was sometime after 1989. The HiFi Buys name was in place from 2001 till 2009. The naming rights will most likely remain Aaron's for the next few years, until Aaron's feels they wish to move on.
