Venue Comments

"The Oasis had a permit for 450 cars and 200 seated patrons. It opened with a capacity for 289 cars, on seven ramps, and seating for about sixty walk-in patrons in the downstairs section of the concession building. However, it was so successful that that capacity was increased - to 354, to 450 and finally to 615 on twelve ramps by the end of 1963. It was completely filled to capacity only once - for Shenandoah, with James Stewart. " (Bertrand 2001)
