Memphis diagram: Please change Great American Pyramid use "Sports" to hotel-retail

[Johnny Ryall]

An old rendering as "Pyramid Arena" era is in the timeline diagram, but not available in the skyscraper diagram. The building is fully realized with a 2-level observation deck & the tallest independent elevator shaft in the U.S./ North America. The seating bowl was removed and converted into hotel/ retail (Bass Pro Shops). I've heard it is the first & only conversion of a major arena (not including megachurches). Also, I just submitted a new diagram illustration.

Update completed. I'll look into why it's appearing in such an odd spot in the diagram listing.

It doesn't really fit our definitions for either a highrise or tower and that's part of the reason it isn't appearing in the default diagram. I've marked it as pyramid primary (that's what it is) and as highrise secondary but that doesn't cause it to appear in the default search result.

Excellent. Thank you for the prompt response. My new diagram illustration is waiting for approval. The 'Pyramid Arena' illustration is actually really good and mine a little rough, but updated. Another oddity I noticed is that there is an orphaned diagram for GoldStrike Casino & Resort in Tunica Resorts, MS (Memphis MSA). Is there anyway you could consolidate that into the Memphis diagram or give Memphis its own Metro listing with Tunica Resorts, MS included? Sorry, but Memphis is very underrepresented on the "diagrams" side of this site. I'm going to be changing that & adding some new buildings/ illustrations as well.

I thought the tower aspect of it could work since there's a mast structure inside now and multi-level observation decks at the top (occupied space). Sure you couldn't make an exception for it with those new features added to the building?

Because Tunica is in a different state and located quite far away from Memphis, I can't combined the two or move the building to a different city. I'm not sure what the status is on the metropolitan areas option, I recall discussion on it a few years ago but don't see it implemented yet.

I changed it to Tower primary Pyramid secondary. Do you know exactly how many occupied levels the building has? If there are two observation levels and at least one retail level I would assume 3, but the Wikipedia page says there is also a hotel in the facility?

Much thanks. Levels 1 & 2 are retail, level 3 is hotel. And then, of course, 2 levels of observation deck in the glass top.
