Poplar Creek Music Theater was a concert venue in Hoffman Estates, Illinois.
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.
