INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A plaque honoring Elvis Presley’s final concert is returning to the former site of Market Square Arena in downtown Indianapolis.
A rededication event took place on the 41st anniversary of the 1977 concert that happened seven weeks before Presley’s death.
The plaque was originally installed in 2002 but was removed as a new apartment-and-retail tower and a Cummins Inc. office building were constructed on the two blocks occupied by the arena before its 2001 demolition. Indiana Elvis fans started a committee that raised money for the $10,000 plaque and base.
Apartment tower developer Flaherty & Collins spokesman Jim Crossin says it is important to honor the history of the site.
