The RV Inn Style Resorts Amphitheater is a large outdoor concert venue in Ridgefield, Washington. It can hold up to 18,000 people! Over the years, it has been known by several names, including the Sleep Country Amphitheater, Amphitheater Northwest, and the Sunlight Supply Amphitheater. When it first opened, it was called The Amphitheater at Clark County.
This amphitheater is the biggest outdoor music spot in the Portland area. People come here to enjoy concerts, stage shows, and other special events. It even hosts the Clark County Fair! Building the amphitheater started in 2002. Sustaita Architects designed it, and Hoffman Construction Company built it.
History of the RV Inn Style Resorts Amphitheater
The amphitheater first opened its doors in 2003. For the first few years, it faced some financial challenges. However, on July 10, 2009, something big happened: the band Coldplay performed and sold out every single seat! This was the first time the venue was completely full for a music show.
Over time, the amphitheater's name changed several times. In March 2010, it became the Sleep Country Amphitheater. This happened because Sleep Country USA, a company that sells mattresses, bought the rights to name the venue for three years.
After that contract ended, the venue got a new temporary name in January 2015: Amphitheater Northwest. But this name didn't last long. The owners were looking for a new sponsor. In October of the same year, they found one, and the venue was renamed the Sunlight Supply Amphitheater.
The most recent name change happened in August 2021. A new sponsor, RV Inn Style Resorts, took over the naming rights. That's why it's now known as the RV Inn Style Resorts Amphitheater.
