Why have I never heard of this Temple Ave arena before? I can find no mention of it either on this site or anywhere online.  Does anyone here have any knowledge or memories of it?

The auction has ended, BTW.

There was never an "arena" per se. The boxing ring was set up in the PACKARDS parking lot and seating was arranged around the ring.
Since the RECORD was a sponsor according to the ticket, they may have photos in their morgue.
