The Charlotte Coliseum was a multi-purpose sports and entertainment arena in Charlotte, North Carolina, US. It was operated by the Charlotte Coliseum Authority, which also oversees the operation of Cricket Arena, the Charlotte Convention Center, and Ovens Auditorium.
The city of Charlotte sold the property, and the building was demolished via implosion on June 3, 2007. A mixed-use development is now planned for the space since the demolition is complete.

  • By the time Charlotte Coliseum, Orlando Arena(last known as Amway Arena) and Miami Arena were opened, they didn't match NBA Standards anymore, with the Luxury Box crap, etc.

  • Didn't the scoreboard come crashing down to the court after the building opened?

  • did they have any hockey there?

  • @mburmy The image of the "new Coliseum" was ripped by Ray Woolridge. There are also Historical Markers at Bojangles.

  • To Any Charlotte fan what was wrong with that building I remember when the Hornets played there it was a new building

  • @skeeterhoss 17 years? The bonds to finance this building still haven't been paid off? Wow. Unreal. The building is still relatively new.

  • but in hindsight, why did we build the Resch idk, the memorial arena was all we needed, especially for minor league hockey, and we don't really need an IFL team, and WWE can still come here, just dark shows, and the dumb thing it's only good for like shopping sprees and we just repaired the roof on it? Y? we should just demo the place already!

  • Here in Green Bay we've got like 3 arenas, 1 tiny one more like a convention center, another closest to Lambeau Field called the Memorial arena that one is old, and we got a new one since 2003 i think, it's called the Resch Center, it's nice but the arena was all we needed for a minor league hockey team, but we got bigger WWE events now, nice concerts, and hey our hockey team is surprisingly better, and it hosted the frozen four!

  • UNTZ UNTZ UNTZ Well done
