The Sioux City Auditorium listed on the National Register of Historic Places is the second aduitorum building Sioux City has. It is now called the Long Lines Family Recreation Center. The first was at 7th & Douglas Streets & the 3rd is the Tyson Event Center which is attached to the Long Lines Rec. Center. The fist auditorium is now used by KCAU TV, the ABC affiliate in Sioux City. The progression of the larger entertainment venues speaks volumes about the growth of the city. The first auditorium probably only seated less then 1,000 people. The 2nd only seated about 3,000, the Tyson Event Center seats about 8,000 for sports events & 10,000 for concerts.
