The Gibson Amphitheatre featured an indoor setting with 6,189 seats arranged in a semicircular layout following the Neues Bauen architectural design principles.
Opening in 1972 as Universal Amphitheatre, the venue transformed from an outdoor arena to an enclosed structure in 1980 before closing in September 2013.
