In 1998, the local promoter Contemporary Group, who built the amphitheater, was acquired by SFX.^[4] SFX corporate successor Live Nation Entertainment continues to own and operate the venue.

In 2002, UMB Bank acquired the naming rights to the venue for five years.^[5] Verizon Wireless then purchased the naming rights in November 2006.^[6]
