The International Amphitheatre was an indoor arena located in Chicago, Illinois. It was just west of Halsted Street, where 43rd Street T-ed into Halsted. It was adjacent to the Union Stock Yards, and was built in the 1930s after a 1920s fire had destroyed Dexter Park, a horse race track that had stood there for over 50 years. The western boundary of the site was called Dexter Park Street.
