Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion started its life as Meadowbrook Farm, an outdoor amphitheater located near Lake Winnipesaukee in Gilford, New Hampshire. When it opened in 1996, it was humble featuring a temporary stage, 2,500 seats, and lawn space with room for 2,000 more guests to enjoy. The Miller family, original owners of the property, offered the space for summer vacations, weekend excursions, and general family entertainment. The Venue served for five years as a simple venue to serve the arts and entertainment needs of the community. But the beautiful land that surrounded the venue grew more popular with music lovers across the country, so it needed to expand. That expansion led to it being renamed Meadowbrook Musical Arts Center to reflect how most event managers used the space for concerts and similar musical events. The temporary stage was replaced with a permanent one, and major renovations were started in 2002 as the first major renovation the venue had ever held. Fans of Meadowbrook were pleased to see a pavilion roof installed over the facility, the addition of 3,097 reserved seats that could be removed for general admission shows, 540 reserved lawn seats, and 2,850 general admission lawn seats. It was clear to everyone that Meadowbrook was ready to make a big splash on entertainment.
