Poplar Creek Music Theater
- Poplar Creek Music Theater
Poplar Creek Music Theater was a concert venue located in Hoffman Estates, Illinois from 1980 to 1994. The arena hosted a variety of popular musical acts during its 15-season existence. It consisted of a covered pavilion and grass seating area, and had a capacity of approximately 20,000 people.
Attendance began to dwindle in the late 1980s, and Poplar Creek faced competition from the opening of the World Music Theater (now First Midwest Bank Amphitheatre) in Tinley Park in 1990. Sears acquired the property in 1989 and allowed Poplar Creek to remain in operation until 1994.
In 2006, the Sears Centre opened in Hoffman Estates, near the former location of Poplar Creek.
