Stockton Memorial Civic Auditorium
525 N Center St
Stockton, CA 95202
Opened: November 4, 1925
The Stockton Memorial Civic Auditorium is a performance venue in Stockton, California. Construction began in 1924 and the auditorium opened in November 1925, it seats about 5,000 people. Local architects Glenn Allen and Wright & Satterlee were awarded construction, while Stocktonians conducted bond drives to fund construction of the Memorial Auditorium to honor those who gave their lives while serving in the Armed Forces in World War I.

In October 1920, a bond election was held in order to obtain funds to invest in a site and construct of the Memorial Civic Auditorium. People had asked for the Auditorium to be built in order to honor of the Americans who served in World War I. Other reasons for the Auditorium included the necessity for a facility to provide community events.

On July 23, 1924, a contract was accepted by the city of Stockton to build a Memorial Civic Auditorium. A total of $482,338 was used to fund the development of the building. Construction of the foundation and first floor began in either late 1924 or early 1925. The building was completed on November 4, 1925, and dedicated on Veterans Day later that year.

The Auditorium hosted the Big West Conference men's basketball tournament in 1976 and was home of the University Pacific Tigers men's basketball until 1982, the year the Alex G. Spanos Center opened. (The Spanos Center has since been succeeded by Stockton Arena as Stockton's premiere indoor venue) The facility has hosted numerous concerts over the years including Carlos Santana, Rush, and Blue Oyster Cult. The Golliwogs played at the auditorium in 1966 and The Grateful Dead played 1/18/78 at the auditorium on their well-regarded west coast winter tour.
