What’s that Pointy Thing? - The Great American Pyramid stands 321 feet tall and as its name suggest, is built to mimic the Great Pyramid of Giza. Opening to the public on November 9, 1991 [edited] with a concert by The Judds, the Pyramid housed the annual Wonders Series – grand exhibits of art, history and ancient culture - and the Memphis Tigers (and originally the Memphis Grizzles) played basketball there. The iconic structure graced our police cars and City brochures. It closed after a final concert by Bob Seger on February 3, 2007. Currently it is being refurbished in a lease deal between the City and Bass Pro as a destination retail store.
