A more accurate address for this theater is 105 E. Oklahoma Blvd, Alva OK 73717. This points to the Alva Motel in front of where the theater stood. The motel was open while the drive in was open.
Please update.
The address 105 E. Oklahoma Boulevard is actually where the drive in was originally located. It moved to the southeast of this location to a site approx ½ mile south of the intersection of US highways 281 & 64. Around 2012 a steel scrapping company bought the property and initially cleaned it up so that the projection/concession building was visible for the first time since the mid 1990s. They eventually tore the screen tower down, unfortunately. The business is now closed and the property once again abandoned.
The Stadium Drive In operated in the summer of 1986 and then closed permanently. The only exception was the showing of ‘Top Gun’ in April 1987 for “Ranger Night At The Drive In”, the last of a bi-annual event held for students of Northwestern Oklahoma State University. After this the theater never operated again.
