I can see the drive-in holding 300 cars, but not 600. Given its unusual shape, the Airport Drive-In might have been considerably larger and lost part of its property before becoming the Delta.
Plus, since the Delta took over from the Airport, it could technically still be called the “first drive-in in Greenwood”.
Interesting, I didn’t see the Delta before but advertisements for it said “Highway 49 South” but I think that just means south of Greenwood so you are probably right. It might’ve sat idle for a few years then reopened under new owners as the Delta, its funny though because in a news article they claimed Delta was the first drive-in in Greenwood and held 300 cars when according to the above the Airport held double that amount.
Could it have re-opened as the Delta Drive-In?

The approximate address is 2708 US-49E, Greenwood, MS 38930. The site is now occupied by a storage company, the roadside sign/marquee was still there in 2016 on Google Street View, you can still faintly see some ramp markings and the foundation of the concession building remains.
