I always liked the line someone said about the Coliseum after Nick Mileti said the location was chosen because it was "Within an hour's drive for 6 million people". The line was "But it is an hour's drive for EVERY SINGLE ONE of them". Other sports franchises that built way out of cities found out that there was no "walk-up" crowd. You had to plan to go to games. But it was a beautiful building, a comfortable place to enjoy a game.

As a kid in the 70's my dad refused to drive that far for a basketball game. Bummer.

Thanks for sharing! Fun times here. Watching the CAVs here was the bomb!! I also went to a couple of Barnum & Bailey Circus events and I saw The Force play here. I also saw MC Hammer and En Vogue here. It was a long hike getting out there, but boy was it worth it!

I only been to the coliseum twice in my life. Once for a caves game when I was very little and the last time was Beauty and the Beast on ice. I truly wish it was never torn down as I believe it would be a historical place used for many great events today. If only they could reserrect the Coliseum from the ashes and bring back the memories.

What always stood out to me was the fact they built it in the middle of nowhere. Right beside normal farmhouses

I can remember going to micky mouse on ice, a cavs game , multiple tractor and truck pulls and even wrestling events. That drive on the interstate and the traffic jams after were also part of the memories

I loved the arenas that were built in the late 60's and 70's like the Capital Centre in Maryland, The Forum in Inglewood, The Omni in Atlanta, etc. Todays venues seem so similar.
