- 95 reviews of Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre - St. Louis 'If you're going to Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre (previously known as the UMB Bank Pavillion), chances are you're going to a rather large rock concert. I've seen many a show here: from summer rock festivals to jam bands, from eighties reunions to has-beens with bad hair.
