PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — Not even three months after its last name change, Camden's waterfront music venue is being renamed yet again.
This time, the 25,000-capacity music theater by the Delaware River will be called the Freedom Mortgage Pavilion.
The announcement came from theater operator Live Nation, thanks to a sponsorship deal with Florida-based Freedom Mortgage Corporation. The New Jersey Economic Development Authority owns the theater.

The venue has been operating since February as Waterfront Music Pavilion, after a seven-year run as the BB&T Pavilion.
This makes six names since the venue opened in 1995 as the Blockbuster-Sony Music Entertainment Centre (or the E-Centre for short).
The pavilion was also named for Tweeter and Susquehanna Bank during its 27-year history.

The new name becomes official May 20.
