The Spud Drive-In Theater is a drive-in theater between Victor and Driggs, Idaho. Located in a potato-farming region, the theater's entrance sign features a giant potato on the back of a 1946 Chevrolet flat-bed truck. The drive-in was built by Ace Wood in 1953. The theatre has also hosted concerts, including a 2010 concert by the band Widespread Panic. Financial difficulties in 2011 threatened to close the drive-in, but arrangements were made to continue its operation as of June 2011.[2]
