History
In April 2002, the then President of Wells Fargo Bank, Gary Lawrence, gave $500,000 to contribute to the renovation and creation of a first class open air amphitheater in Lubbock's Mackenzie Park. In 1999 Lubbock voters had already approved $1.7 million for the construction of an Amphitheater at Mackenzie Park, but after construction adjustments requirements had reason to $2.7 million. The donation left a requirement for another $500,000 to ensure complete funding.In June of 2003 a further $150,000 was donated by Dallas based oil company Alon-Fina. Construction of the venue began in 2003 with the remaining money required to complete the project coming from other private donations while work was already under way.
