Warner Auditorium demolition to start
Demolition on Warner Auditorium begins this month, closing a chapter on what was once the largest unobstructed auditorium roof ever built.
Since the 7,500-seat auditorium opened in 1962, it has been the scene of commencements at Anderson University as well as conventions for the Church of God.
Warner, with a diameter of more than 268 feet and a 3 million-pound concrete dome, kept its title for only three years, until the Astro Dome opened in Houston.
The auditorium replaced a wooden hall that collapsed in a snowstorm in 1960.
