Comerica Theatre

The Comerica Theatre (formerly the Dodge Theatre (circa. 2002-2010)) is a multi-use theatre in Downtown Phoenix, Arizona. The venue seats 5,000 people and hosts many musical artists and shows. Jerry Colangelo, longtime former owner of the Phoenix Suns and Arizona Diamondbacks, was one of the original investors. The facility, designed by Dan Meis of NBBJ, was designed to fill the need for performers that don't need a huge sports stadium, but are too large for the smaller, intimate venues. It opened in the spring of 2002 as part of the ongoing redevelopment efforts in Downtown Phoenix, and reached the 2 million mark in attendance in 2009. Live Nation began operating the venue in 2007. The theater's name was changed in October 2010 after Comerica Bank acquired the naming rights. The theatre is also known for hosting sporting events such as boxing. 
The theatre is probably best recognized as the stage for the comedy movie Blue Collar Comedy Tour: The Movie. In addition to this, George Lopez's most recent HBO Special, America's Mexican, was aired live at the venue. Rock group Chickenfoot recorded their live album Get Your Buzz On there and it also hosted the 2010 WWE Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony.
