Memphis Pyramid (Bass Pro Shops)

The Memphis Pyramid is a 321-foot-tall former sports arena that was redeveloped and reopened in 2015 as Bass Pro Shops at the Pyramid, containing retail space, a hotel, and an observation deck. Its unusual Egyptian-style architecture in downtown Memphis and the building's conversion from arena to retail/hospitality are frequent subjects of local humor. The site's conspicuousness and repurposing make it a common punchline in jokes about Memphis landmarks.
