At one point, the 72 acres where the amphitheater sits was a fully developed industrial park with terraced lots and utilities in place.

The site had been abandoned for a number of years when Universal Concerts approached the city of Chula Vista and won approval to build the amphitheatre.

[5] On November 1, 2018, the venue was renamed to North Island Credit Union Amphitheatre, as the naming rights were purchased by Live Nation.

It was in part of a ten-year name-in-title sponsorship deal with North Island Credit Union of San Diego.

[6] Among the artists that have performed here are Bring Me the Horizon, Duran Duran, Danny Elfman, Earth, Wind & Fire, Falling in Reverse, Iron Maiden, Kiss, Marilyn Manson, Pantera, Peso Pluma, Pitbull, Slipknot, Spice Girls, T-Pain, The Cure and The Smashing Pumpkins.
