About The Pyramid - Memphis
The Pyramid in downtown Memphis has transformed from a basketball and concert arena into a multi-faceted Bass Pro Shops destination. Today, visitors find a retail megastore with an on-site hotel, an aquarium, bowling, and wildlife experiences at the Bass Pro Shops at the Pyramid. This page provides a practical guide to visiting, including seating and event logistics when applicable, parking details, how to get there via transit, and nearby lodging and dining options to secure a complete Memphis weekend.
Note: The site no longer operates with a standard concert seating chart. For any events, check event-specific details; the venue functions as a retail/entertainment hub with ongoing attractions and occasional live programming managed by Bass Pro Shops and partners.
Practical tips to plan your visit:
- Parking: On-site and nearby parking are available. Bass Pro manages parking logistics for visitors; plan for parking spaces within the complex and any event-day shuttle arrangements.
- Seating: There is no fixed concert seating chart today since the space operates as a retail/entertainment complex. If an event is scheduled, confirm seating details with the venue or event promoter.
- Transit: The Pyramid sits in downtown Memphis with access via Memphis Area Transit Authority (MATA) services. Check local transit routes for the latest schedules.
- Hotels: Stay at the adjacent Big Cypress Lodge, a 103-room wilderness-themed hotel inside the Pyramid complex. It’s a convenient option for fans looking to maximize time at the venue.
- Nearby dining: Explore in-house dining within the Bass Pro Shops complex and nearby downtown eateries for a full Memphis experience.
- Affiliates and deals: We’ve got partner hotel and dining options to help you secure comfortable accommodations and convenient meals during your visit.
