Albuquerque Civic Auditorium
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Albuquerque Civic Auditorium was indoor arena located in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It had a capacity of 6,000 people.
The auditorium was very unique in that an innovative technique was used to build its dome-shaped structure, characterized by concrete being poured over a sand hill and the sand then being carted away.[1]
The venue opened on April 27, 1957, with the Albuquerque Civic Symphony playing the opening night.[1]
The Albuquerque Civic Auditorium was demolished in 1987.
