Poplar Creek Music Theater was a concert venue in Hoffman Estates, Illinois. The amphitheatre opened in 1980 and closed in 1994. It 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 25,202 people: 7,202 reserved seats and 18,000 lawn seats.
Attendance began to dwindle in the late 1980s, and Poplar Creek faced competition from opening the World Music Theater (now Credit Union 1 Amphitheatre) in Tinley Park in 1990. Sears acquired the property in 1989 and allowed Poplar Creek to remain in operation until 1994, and demolition began in July 1995.[1]
In 2006, the Sears Centre (as of 2020, the Now Arena) opened in Hoffman Estates, near the former location of Poplar Creek.
A new outdoor theatre next to the Sears Centre and about one mile from Poplar Creek's former location had been approved for construction. With approximately 10,000 seats, but was never built.
