Boutwell Memorial Auditorium

Boutwell Memorial Auditorium is a 5,000-seat multi-purpose arena located in Birmingham, Alabama.

A later renovation added to the lobby and meeting room space in front of the brick facade, giving the street view of the auditorium a decidedly modernist marble, aluminum and glass look.

Master plans for the future of the Birmingham Museum of Art, which adjoins Boutwell Auditorium, have included expanding onto its current site.

The interior of the facility includes seating in a horseshoe shape with a stage at the end opposite a balcony.

In 2022, the auditorium hosted muay thai, sumo wrestling, and kickboxing events as part of the 2022 World Games.
