Review & FAQ:

In 1946, the Allen County taxpayers voted to construct a living memorial to the nation’s war veterans and constructed the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum. When they needed a place to house large community events, the coliseum allowed residents to promote a diverse array of entertainment, athletic, educational, and business-related events and activities.

Visitors to the coliseum will be walking through halls that held major professional and amateur sporting events, gatherings, political rallies, patriotic observances, school events, and shows such as ice skating or the circus, all of which played an important part in Allen County’s history.
