THE RICHMOND COLISEUM:

Built in 1971 and located in downtown Richmond, VA, the Richmond Coliseum is Central Virginia’s best multi-purpose entertainment venue. Sporting events, concerts, conventions, family shows…it all happens at the Richmond Coliseum.
Richmond Coliseum is an arena in Richmond, Virginia, where the SPHL Richmond Renegades play. It is also the venue for various large concerts. The arena opened in 1971 and holds 13,500 people. A small fire occurred there in 1997, shutting it down for repairs.

The Richmond Coliseum is also the former home of the American Basketball Association (1967-1976) Virginia Squires. The Squires played there (in addition to the Roanoke Civic Center, Norfolk Scope and Hampton Coliseum; all within the state of Virginia) from 1971 to 1976.

The Sun Belt Conference men’s basketball tournament was held there in 1988. The Colonial Athletic Association men's (NCAA) collegiate basketball tournament has been contested at the Richmond Coliseum since 1990.

The Richmond Coliseum is laid out on 6 levels. In order from lowest to highest they are the event level, the mezzanine, the lower concourse, the upper concourse, the 300 level and the ring. The event level is where the event floor (and ice rink) is located, as well as all the support rooms for events and the building. Team locker rooms, star dressing rooms, Exhibition halls, the Coliseum Club and the kitchens are located on the event level. The Clay St tunnel, one of the innovative features of the coliseum, is on the event level and allows vehicles, including tractor trailers and monster trucks, to pull into the coliseum. It is accessed at the intersection of Clay St and Eighth St. The tunnel provides storage for shows, and parking for coliseum personnel. The mezzanine is where the administrative offices for the coliseum are located. The Leigh St. entrance is on this level. The lower concourse is the access for all lower level seating and suites. The Fifth St and Sixth St entrances are located on this level, as well as exits to the areas above Clay St and Leigh St. The upper concourse is the access for all upper level seating and the 300 level is access to the highest seats on either radius of the coliseum. The ring is where the spotlights are operated and is the access to the catwalk.
