King of the City
By April, 09/24/05
Other than the well known Elvis Presley, there is another king of Memphis Tennessee. The amazing listening gleaming over the edge of the city. As you zoom over the great Mississippi river you will soon see a welcomeing silver shining pyrimid of great magnitude at the edge of the water and the city. Within various events are held such as concerts, games,the circus, and many other attractions. It is by far one of the most outstanding views of the city.

It was a nice place when used.
By David, 09/07/05
It is such a shame that now with the Fed Ex Forum, this building is sitting unused. When was in used for sporting events and concerts, it was a decent venue. It looks really nice on the skyline of Memphis as one comes into the city. It was a great value and venue for sporting events. The only problem is that the seats were uncomfortable and the sound system sounds horrible due to the accoustics in a pyramid shaped building. My funniest memory of the Pyramid is watching Van Halen play there like they can't wait to get the hell out there. The sound was that bad. LOL It is unknown what the future holds for the Pyramid. There has been talks of using it for everything from an Indian casino to a giant church. Unfortunately it is all talk. The city still owes money on this place.

It holds a place in my heart!
By a_little_jaded, 08/28/05
I graduated in the Pyramid, so it holds a special place for me! If you ca I would recommend see it. However, if there is nothing going on it can be a very boring place. It is great for concerts, and ball games.

Can't wait to go back!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/24/05
I love the Pyramid in Memphis, TN. There is nothing like watching a concert in the Pyramid. It is an experience that I will never forget. I only wish that they would keep it open.
