Show us pictures of your sporting venue façade. Historic buildings tend to have the best facades, but a stadium or arena of any age is fine. What are the most famous facades in your state, province, region, or country? When were these facades built? Were they retrofitted in more recent times to accomodate new demands?

the pyramid in memphis is 32 full stories above ground and two stories below ground. it is currently being converted as an aquarium, walk through cypress swamp and fresh water basin. part of the display will have a live alligator display and a bird avearey. bass pro will occupy the building. the new basketball and professional sports arena is known as Fed Ex Forum. for pictures, look under aerial photos, memphis, fed ex forum and memphis pyramid. the pyramid is very impressive, made of steel and glass, sitting on a concrete base. the entire area surrounding the pyramid is being developed into a large convention district. i don't know how it will be done, but the pyramid will have a hotel attached in some way, either glass enclosed walkway or underground passage.
