Verizon Theatre at Grand Prairie is a concert hall with 6,350 seats, advanced sound systems, and modern lighting equipment designed for optimal performance experiences. The facility features flexible staging capabilities that accommodate both large-scale concerts and more intimate events.
Proposed in 1998 as an alternative to Dallas's Reunion Arena, the venue was built by NextStage Entertainment Corporation; construction began in summer 1999 and was delayed 14 months by budget increases, for a final cost of about $63 million. It opened in February 2002 as the NextStage Performance Theater with 6,350 seats. Nokia held the naming rights from 2004, Verizon Wireless from 2010, and Texas Trust Credit Union from April 2021.
The venue hosts a wide range of live performances throughout the year, from big-name musicians to comedy acts and theatrical productions that draw audiences from across the region.
The venue is located within the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex and provides extensive parking facilities on site. Guests should plan to arrive early to allow time for parking and security procedures before events begin.
Since May 2002, Dallas artist Cabe Booth has painted 4'×4' oil portraits of visiting performers, each signed by its subject. More than 300 hang backstage and in the administrative offices, and since 2007 some line the main foyer by the downstairs entry to the private suites.
