MANSFIELD, Mass. -- The Tweeter Center will become the Comcast Center under a naming-rights switch at the outdoor concert amphitheater in Mansfield. Philadelphia-based cable TV provider Comcast and the center's owner, Live Nation, announced the change Wednesday. The switch takes effect Wednesday night for a concert by Eric Clapton. The nearly 20,000-person capacity venue has 35 to 40 concerts per year. The site had carried the name of Tweeter Home Entertainment Group, the Canton-based chain of electronics stores that entered bankruptcy protection last year. The bankruptcy triggered Tweeter to pull out of four naming-rights deals at outdoor concert sites on the East Coast. In the bankruptcy, Tweeter's assets were sold under a court-supervised auction.
