CHARLOTTE COLISEUM

The original Charlotte Coliseum, now known as Bojangles Coliseum, is a historic arena located in Charlotte, North Carolina. Opened in 1955, the Coliseum was one of the first major sports and entertainment venues in the Southeast, boasting a seating capacity of approximately 11,666. Its distinctive domed architecture and intimate setting quickly made it a central hub for various events. In 1988, it was renamed Bojangles Coliseum and continues to be a vital part of the city\'s event-hosting landscape.

The Coliseum holds a significant place in basketball history as the former home of the Carolina Cougars of the American Basketball Association (ABA) from 1969 to 1974. The Cougars brought professional basketball to Charlotte, and the Coliseum became a lively venue for their exciting and high-scoring games. This period marked a pivotal time in the city\'s sports culture, laying the groundwork for Charlotte\'s later basketball endeavors. In addition to the Cougars, the Coliseum was home to other sports teams, including the Charlotte Checkers of the Eastern Hockey League (EHL) and later the ECHL, contributing to the growth of ice hockey in the region.

Beyond sports, the Coliseum has hosted a wide array of concerts and events, featuring performances by legendary artists such as Elvis Presley and The Rolling Stones. It also served as the venue for numerous local and regional events, including conventions, circuses, and wrestling matches, making it a versatile and beloved community asset. Despite the emergence of newer venues, Bojangles Coliseum remains an enduring symbol of Charlotte\'s rich history in sports and entertainment, continuing to host a variety of events and maintain its status as a cherished landmark.
