A stadium built as a memorial
The Coliseum was built between 1921 and 1923 in Exposition Park as a tribute to local veterans of World War I. It later became the centerpiece of the 1932 and 1984 Summer Olympic Games, and has also hosted Super Bowls and a World Series.
At the east end, the Peristyle gives the stadium one of its defining architectural features. The Olympic cauldron is another landmark within the venue.
Historic structure, later renovations
Renovations completed in 2019 added the Scholarship Tower and the 1923 Club rooftop. The updates brought new facilities to the stadium while retaining its historic character. Scholarship Club suites are an option for event guests seeking comfortable seating, views and additional amenities.
The Coliseum is a working event venue, so what you can see and access depends on the event you attend. Food vendors and restrooms are available inside during events.
