A more accurate address for this theater is 850 S Highway 281, Aberdeen, SD 57401. This points directly to the entrance road. Sodak Sports sits at the entrance. An empty field is where the drive in stood. Please update.

I was going to post that address. In the 1997 view on GE, you can make out the first 6 rows or so, and that’s about it.. Screen was to the West, to the right where the little pond is now.

Yeah, I think that was a misprint. This theater was located at about 2029 134th Street or 691 US 281 (depending on where you click). There is new development along the edge of the property, but the ramps are still faintly visible.
