The Ellis Auditorium was a 10,000-seat multi-purpose arena in Memphis, Tennessee, USA. It hosted local sporting events and concerts.

History

The auditorium opened in 1930. The first performance was held by John Philip Sousa.[1]

The auditorium was segregated and had a separate entrance and balcony for black patrons,[1] and in 1945 a performance of Annie, Get Your Gun did not go ahead because the cast included black members.[2]

Elvis Presley played Ellis Auditorium on May 15, 1956 to open the Cotton Carnival.[3] Presley also made a number of other appearances at the venue.[4][6]

Other performers who played Ellis included David Bowie (1972)[5]

Sports

Ellis Auditorium also hosted basketball events, including a 6,000-strong all-white crowd who watched the all-black Harlem Globetrotters play in 1953.[6]

The Memphis Tigers basketball team also played select games at Ellis. They upset number 3 ranked Louisville at the venue in February 1957.[7]

Ellis Auditorium was demolished in 1997 and replaced by the Cannon Center for the Performing Arts.[6]
