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.
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.
I live 5 minutes from this. AMA I guess?

I saw Alanis Morissette there in 95’ish and the acoustics were terrible. Still a great concert though.
It’s a real artist to be at the peak of popularity and play at a Bass Pro shop.

I think they were joking
Joke.
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.

Is it bigger than the Luxor in Las Vegas?
The Luxor is ever so slightly bigger I believe.
Luxor looks about to be 10% taller (98m vs 107m) Source
Has anyone tried to climb on top of it?
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.
