The History of Xfinity Center

The venue opened during the summer of 1986 as the Great Woods Center for the Performing Arts; with a performance by Yo-Yo Ma and the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra.  Due to the region’s lack of other venues of the such, the Xfinity Center became busiest venues in New England, hosting nearly 80 concerts per season.

In 2007, Comcast bought the naming rights and renamed the venue to the Comcast Center in 2008. But in 2014, Comcast decided to rename the venue once again to "Xfinity Center" to correspond with its current product branding.
