    I live 5 minutes from this. AMA I guess?

    The Memphis pyramid was a sports arena and concert venue in the past, eventually the city built another venue that wasn’t shaped stupid so it sat abandoned for a decade or so before bass pro bought it.

      Are the ducks really unlimited, or is that just economically until the limits of physical reality kick in?

      I saw Alanis Morissette there in 95’ish and the acoustics were terrible. Still a great concert though.

          It was not a Bass Pro Shop then. It was The Pyramid, concert venue / arena.

          I saw Jimmy Page and Robert Plant play there in the late 90’s. It was totally awesome, they played almost 3 hours of Led Zeppelin and Page/Plant songs. John Bonham’s son Jason was on drums.

        What about an Alanis Morrissette facts community called You Oughta Know?

        Yeah it was a terrible concert venue and sports arena other than being a novelty shape.

        Pretty much everyone in town loves the bass pro shop and we’re much happier to see it in use than abandoned like it was for so many years.

        Memphis took the coward’s way out. You could make it a pyramid on the outside for the meme and then make the inside shaped to have good acoustics.

        Surprisingly no, not that I’m aware of. If they have, it hasn’t made the news.

        It’s quite steep and smooth in person, it would be very hard to climb. Probably impossible without ropes or mission impossible suction cups.
