In September 2014 the Cedar Park Center will have spent five years as Cedar Park's premier entertainment venue.

However, City Council's initial attempt to finance an entertainment center ran into problems. In February 2005 city voters approved $30.8 million in bonds for the planned center. But in June 2005, City Council stopped construction because of financial and scheduling difficulties.

In November 2006 city voters approved a new entertainment center that would be funded by a portion of sales tax revenue received by the local Economic Development Sales Tax Corp., or 4A board.

The Cedar Park Center opened with a George Strait concert on Sept. 25, 2009, and serves as the home of the Texas Stars hockey team. In 2010 the Austin Toros basketball team also moved to the center. In January the Austin Aces Mylan World TeamTennis team announced it would debut at the center in summer.

On June 17 the Texas Stars won the team's first Calder Cup Championship.
