Orlando Sports Stadium

Orlando Sports Stadium

Orlando Sports Stadium (commonly Eddie Graham Sports Complex) was an indoor arena, located in Orlando, Florida. The venue was opened in 1967 and was later re-named after professional wrestler and promoter Eddie Graham.

During its existence, it hosted numerous concerts, professional wrestling and boxing contests.[1]

The arena played host to The Rolling Thunder Revue Tour on April 23, 1976, headed by Bob Dylan.[2] As well as legendary Rock-n-Roll Musician Elvis Presley who played there on February 15, 1977, only six months from his untimely death.

The building was closed by the Orange County Building Department, because of code violations and was demolished in November 1995.[1] The land on which it stood is now occupied by a housing development.[1]
