UA Snowden Square Stadium 14

When the Snowden cinema opened, the stadium seating and brand new facility was an instant and massive success in Columbia, which had grown considerably since its inception in the late 1960s. It spelled quick doom for the Columbia Cinema III downtown, the original theater and for more than a decade the only theater in town, as well as the Palace 9, which had been open for about a decade when Snowden opened. But the Cinema III was very old and had no room to expand, and Palace 9 was in pretty rough shape and also had no way to expand. With Snowden’s state of the art trappings plus the ability to play absolutely everything those other twelve combined screens could brought an end to both of Columbia’s original cinemas, with III closing in 2000 and Palace 9 in 2001. Both have been demolished.
