Jeff Maday, spokesman for Canterbury, said the Shakopee amphitheater is an integral piece of the larger development that is transforming the land around Canterbury Park. Mystic Lake Casino in Prior Lake has a smaller amphitheater that can hold about 8,000 and like Canterbury is about a 30-minute drive from downtown.įirst Avenue announced plans for an outdoor amphitheater as part of the Upper Harbor Terminal redevelopment project.
Treasure Island Resort and Casino in Welch, Minn., has a similar size venue for about 16,000 fans that's about an hour from Minneapolis. Shakopee city officials expect the site to host about 40 concerts a year. The first concerts at the new venue are expected to be held in spring 2025.
