Abstract
The Tweeter Center for the Performing Arts (formerly Great Woods) in Mansfield, MA, off Interstate 495, midway between Boston and Providence, accommodates 19<th>900 patrons and offers 75 to 85 performances each year between 15 May and 15 October. The Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra inaugurated Tweeter Center’s first concert season in June 1986, and The Center hosted the PSO as its summer home for three additional seasons. The Center has hosted performances from solo comedians to symphonic orchestras and rock bands, featuring such diverse acts as the Boston Pops, James Taylor, Phish, and The Kinks. The acoustical lessons learned over two decades of operation are described. The Center has served as a model for the design and operation of facilities in the 20<th>000‐capacity range, including the often difficult issues of controlling excessive amplified sound transmission to residential neighbors, as well as assuring good listening conditions for patrons and performers alike.
