The Pyramid

The Pyramid, located in Downtown Memphis, was originally erected for use as a basketball stadium by the Memphis Grizzlies, but is currently in the possession of Bass Pro Shops. Plans exist for the pyramid to be converted into a display area/shop for the company, but the Pyramid is currently not open. It is a reference to the city's name, which is from an ancient Egyptian capital. A statue of Ramesses II used to stand here, but it was removed.
