McKinney Greenlights $220M Amphitheater
The McKinney City Council has approved four measures that remove sticking points between a developer building the Sunset Amphitheater, and the town. Venu is developing the site, which is slated to open in 2026.
The $220 million open-air amphitheater was announced in March. The new entertainment venue will have a capacity of 20,000 people and be situated on 46 acres located northeast of US 75 and SH 121, adjacent to the Sheraton McKinney Hotel.
Features include:
- Fully-covered seating areas
- 250-plus luxury fire pit suites
- A landscaped grass area
- Traditional reserved seating
- Owner’s Club suites
- Gourmet food and drinks
- Over 5,000 parking spaces
The venue is estimated to host between 50-65 shows each year, including concerts and comedians.
McKinney leaders approved the initial development agreement for the project in April, which includes over $50 million in incentives.
