The busiest and most versatile of the Coliseum Complex’s venues, the Special Events Center includes three exhibition halls, a 5,000-seat mini-arena for concerts and eight meeting rooms. Having served as the site for everything from Papa Roach in concert to the Bass & Saltwater Fishing Expo to the annual HAECO Basketball Invitational and political rallies for Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders, the facility’s three main exhibition halls host an incredible variety of consumer shows, trade shows, amateur and professional sporting events, concerts, graduations and conventions.
