The world’s largest Bass Pro Shop makes you feel another type of way. This structure has been a positive influence as it provides happiness and euphoria to anyone who enters. This Bass Pro is not only a pyramid, but houses many activities and has outstanding theming (like all bass pro shops). The shape of the structure provides a “wow” factor to whomever drives or fly’s past it. This Pyramid structure houses many interesting features and landscapes such as fish tanks, ponds, bowling alley, and other activities which families will enjoy. This pyramid is home to a 100 room hotel as well as over 600,000 gallons of water related features. At first glance you can enjoy the uniqueness and the design of one of the largest modern pyramids created. Who drives by this building and does not wonder why there is a pyramid in Memphis.

This pyramid structure was not originally built for the world’s largest Bass Pro, but was built as an entertainment/sports arena in 1991 and had over 20,000 seats. The pyramid cost over 65 million dollars to construct and had the height of 321 feet. The idea of creating a bronze glass-glazed pyramid was first thought of by Mark C. Hartz ( Memphis Artist) in 1954 and broke ground in September 1989 and opened in November 1991. Overtime this building has been renovated by the city and has been revamped to fit the needs of the leaser/occupant. This structure was made so that the community could come together and enjoy entertainment, shopping, and other family friendly activities and continues to do so to this day.
