A part of Memphis history & American Pop Culture since 1964 & known as "The Entertainment Capital of The Mid-South", The Coliseum hosted concerts by artists ranging from The Beatles & Elvis to Bruce Springsteen...not to mention various other memorable events. It was home to Tiger Basketball & was a market leader in the world of Wrestling. It was the first desegregated public building in Shelby Cou

nty & placed on The National Register of Historic Places by The US Department of the Interior in the year 2000. Don't let this vital Memphis icon fall to the wrecking ball. Show your support by joining this group now...and feel free to post pictures and memories.

The Mid-South Coliseum: Renovation Rather Than Demolition

A refurbished Mid-South Coliseum could be an important asset to our community. The building could follow in the lead of both Memorial Auditorium in Nashville and Checkers Arena in Charlotte. Those two buildings were once the main arenas in their respective cities and now both have settled into a profitable civic role.

The Mid-South Coliseum could be used for:

Concerts and Other Entertainment Events (Working with Live Nation and the Grizzlies to supersede the “right of first refusal” clause in the Hoops Inc, contract.

Memphis Hustle home games

Lady Tiger home games

AEW Wrestling

Graduations

Trade Shows

Corporate functions

The naming rights for the building could be sold to generate funds needed for renovation. Also, the building manager for Memorial Auditorium in Nashville has generously offered his time to help us put together an operations plan that will generate a profit for the city and pay off any bond debt incurred in redevelopment.

I have contacted members of the Memphis City Council and told them I would like to present my case for renovation of the iconic building before the mayor presents his plans for demolition.
