No evidence of notability. Another run-of-the-mill event venue. Bneu2013 (talk) 09:40, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Multiple sources describe this building's former state-wide significance as the home of indoor high school track in Alabama, and its continuing significance as a horse arena, notably as the site of the Racking Horse World Celebration. I added a couple of references; more are apparent in the usual searches.--Arxiloxos (talk) 18:56, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep has social importance, and coverage such as [1] [2]. power~enwiki (π, ν) 21:14, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Notability established by sources. This 5,000 seat arena may have been somewhat replaced by 6,000 seat Bill Harris Arena, but so what. Arenas like these are repeatedly mentioned in news reports about sporting events, and it makes sense to have articles describing them. --Doncram (talk) 22:55, 19 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
