Exit off of Highway 169 in Shakopee and hang a left onto 12th Avenue. In moments, you will see everything that the Canterbury Park area has become within the past 10 years.
There’s a modern office building, a barbecue restaurant, a brew pub and the Triple Crown Residences among other developments. A few hundred yards away, the finishing touches are being placed on an amphitheater with the capacity to hold 19,000 fans that will offer a full entertainment schedule in 2026.
“Chris Stapleton is touring and doing a number of amphitheaters,” said Randy Sampson, president and chief executive of Canterbury Park. “I’m almost sure that if this was open this year he would have done two nights here, packed each night.”
