The amphitheater formerly known as Sleep Country has a new name, but don’t get too used to it.
The venue changed its name to “Amphitheater Northwest” on Jan. 1 when the sponsorship deal with Kent-based mattress retailer Sleep Country expired. That deal began in 2010.
Before that, the 18,000-seat $40 million venue, built on county land at the Fairgrounds in 2002, was called the “Amphitheater at Clark County.”
Quincunx, the a New York company that built and still owns the venue, is searching for a new partner and has been talking to several interested parties, said Andy Holland, the marketing manager.
