• In June 1964 ground was first broken in Saratoga Spa State Park for what would become Saratoga Performing Arts Center (SPAC). Originally intended as a summer home for the New York Philharmonic and the New York City Ballet SPAC was constructed thanks to generous contributions from the Rockefeller Brother Fund, New York State and the surrounding community.
  
  Located in a natural curved bowl surrounded by towering pines the 10-story amphitheater holds 5,000 sheltered seats and is surrounded by a festival lawn that can accommodate an additional 20,000 people. SPAC's largest crowd (40,231) was gathered for the Grateful Dead in June 1985.
  
  In addition to Live Nation events SPAC still hosts the New York City Ballet every summer along with the Philadelphia Orchestra and a two day jazz festival.
