Found it. The drive-in was located north of the town on NW corner on the intersection of 84th Ave SE and 32nd Street SE. While it has become private property, the owners seem to have actually augmented the outline of the drive-in.
https://goo.gl/maps/f8G0y
Found it. The drive-in was located south of the town at the intersection of HWY 91 and 248th Street on the SW side. You can just see a few sections of the ramps left.

Found it. The drive-in was located east of the town near the intersection of Sydney Park Avenue and William Lee Lane. You can just barely make out the faint impression of the ramps just south of the ball field.

Although only the vague outline of the theater is left, it appears that the screen is still up or something of similar size is where the screen would have been.
You are exactly right Chris1982. I did another search and found a drive-in located SE of the city on HWY 75 that I didn’t see on my previous searches. Probably because I only saw the 75 & the Gordon Twin listed for Sioux City, I never thought their might be a third one along 75 as well (my mistake).
The location of this third Drive-In is about 4830 South Lewis Bld. (Old US 75).
https://goo.gl/maps/9BsSk
Today, it holds three baseball and one softball fields with little evidence of the old drive-in save for the unusual entrance roadway and the clubhouse apparently being built on where the projector/concession stand once stood.
HOWEVER, while it appears on the 1977 and 1972 Topographical maps, it does NOT appear on the 1965 one. This may have been an oversight, but given the detail of the map about other locations (including the other drive-in on the north side), it also might mean that this drive-in didn’t exist at the time. Further research will be needed to confirm if this one is actually the 75 Drive-In.
Found It. The Drive-In was located on the NE side of town at approximately 2909 US 75 Business (Google). You can still see the outline and entrance/exit to the property.
https://goo.gl/maps/zOXGG
Side Note: the Drive In appears in an areal view listed as taken in 1949 on NETR Online. I cannot speak for the accuracy of when the photo was taken, but if true then the drive-in was built before 1954.
Found it. Located west of the town at the NW corner of 190th and 408 Ave. The drive-in is but a faint outline today with elements of the screen foundation left.
https://goo.gl/maps/j9c5I
According to the 1978 Topographical Map, the Drive-In was located on the north side of town at what is now 139 Bitteroot Plaza Drive (Google). The area has been completely redeveloped with no trace of the drive-in left.
https://goo.gl/maps/KuSSo
According to 1980 Topographical Map, the Drive-In was located just on the north side of the town. The area has been completely redeveloped with the screen being located at what is now 818 N Cody Ave (Google).

According to the 1985 Topographical Map, the Drive-In was located just west of the city approximately at 2427 5th Street NW (Google) is today. The entire area has been redeveloped and no trace of the drive-in exists.
https://goo.gl/maps/b2TU2
Found it. The Drive-In is on the south side of the town at approximately 213 S. Orange Street (US Bus 71). It is on the north side of the track complex and you can still make out the entrance & exit and the ramps.
https://goo.gl/maps/Hvfm3
Found it. The Drive-In was located just south of town on Business US 54 just north of W 19th Street. You can still see the outlines of the ramps.

According to topographical maps, the drive-in was located, not surprisingly, at the junction of HWY 72 and Lincoln drive on the NE side of the town where the intersection forms a “Y”. Approximate address is 469 Madison Street (Google) which is the location of an old, abandoned Wal-Mart.
Finally found it. Topographical map from 1967 shows the location of the drive-in at intersection of Highway 65 and Liberty Road on the SW corner. Nothing left but the entrance and a very faint outline of the ramps.
https://goo.gl/maps/rBRXA
In historic photos, Liberty Road appears to be the old HWY 2. So the name of the drive-in makes sense.
Whatever this is (referred to in above posts)… https://goo.gl/maps/fjL56 … you got me. Why anyone would shape his or her field like that I have no idea.
