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]
Venue owner Live Nation announced December 17, 2014, that they had signed a multiyear agreement with Hollywood Casino in Maryland Heights, which is owned and operated by Penn National Gaming, to be the amphitheater's title sponsor.[7] The length of the agreement was not disclosed.[8] Even with naming rights changes, everyone in the St. Louis Area calls it by its real name 'Riverport'.
