SUGAR LAND, TX (KTRK) -- Once it opens later this fall, the new $84 million Smart Financial Center at Sugar Land will host over 100 performances a year, ranging from church assemblies to rock shows. Eyewitness News' own Dave Ward got a sneak peek at the state-of-the-art venue that is already pulling in some of entertainment's big acts.

Among the first headliners to take the stage are comedian Jerry Seinfeld, rocker Don Henley and the movie-turned-Broadway hit, Dirty Dancing; they have all been confirmed by the venue's developer, Gary Becker.

While there are plenty of other entertainment venues in the Houston area, developers say what makes the Smart Financial Center unique is its state-of-the-art technology. Think moving walls, that can accommodate different performers and their flock of fans, at the push of a button.

Developers say the Smart Financial Centre project created more than 500 jobs during construction. In an effort to work with local and larger vendors alike, Becker says the venue is also in talks to host events related to the 2017 super bowl next year.
