Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Verso caption: "Construction on the new gym resumed with the spring thaw and heavy duty equipment speeds the operation on to completion". The gymnasium at Anchorage High School (now known as West Anchorage High School) could hold over 4,000 people for some events and was a major event venue in Anchorage in the succeeding decades, until it was surpassed first by the privately-owned Anchorage Sports Arena on Fireweed Lane, then by the Sullivan Arena. A professional wrestling match held in the gym on February 20, 1959, headlined by a tag team match featuring Sandor Szabo and Count Billy Varga versus Mr. Moto and Lord James Blears, was reported to have drawn the largest paid attendance for any indoor event in Alaska's history to that point. |
