I mentioned a few of the notable films I saw at the Stadium 1 on it’s page…a few I saw at Stadium 2 were “Which Way is Up?”, “Nice Dreams”, “Bingo Long”, and a double feature of “Fists of Fury” and “The Chinese Connection” very late in the life of the theater (I had usually seen these Bruce Lee films several times in the 70’s at the Lowe’s State). I guess the Stadium 2 was aimed more at the urban crowd than the Stadium 1 was…
Stadium II opened nearly three years after Stadium I. Seating capacity publicized as 525.
Stadium II opened in February 1970 and closed in June 1984.
The space is now occupied by a Hooter’s Restaurant. Indeed, Wehrenberg operated it the final years.
As I recall, the Stadium Cinema I and II were taken over by Wehrenberg after the Arthur bankruptcy. I saw movies at both theatres as recently as 1983.
