1981 Photos of The Pan Pacific Auditorium in Los Angeles, Ca. Built in 1935, the auditorium closed in 1972.
A cinematically spruced-up version appeared in the sensational 1980 roller-disco musical, "Xanadu" and that's the way most people remember it.
Alas, Los Angeles, a city with a notorious reputation for ignoring its history, allowed the landmark site to fall into disrepair and neglect, and on May 24, 1989 The Pan Pacific Auditorium burned down.
It's sad seeing the Pan Pacific in such sad shape. As a native Angelino I remember the car shows the Ice shows and the park around it. Thanks for the memories.
