Description: CORPUS CHRISTI MEMORIAL COLISEUMCorpus Christi Memorial Coliseum was a multi-purpose arena located in Corpus Christi, Texas, opened in 1954 as a tribute to World War II veterans. It quickly became a hub for various sports and entertainment events in the city. The arena had a seating capacity of about 10,000 and hosted concerts, conventions, and a wide range of sporting events throughout its existence. The Coliseum was also a key venue for professional wrestling, attracting large crowds for matches featuring famous wrestlers.In terms of sports teams, Memorial Coliseum was home to the Corpus Christi IceRays, a minor league hockey team, during the early 2000s. The team played in the Western Professional Hockey League (WPHL) and later the Central Hockey League (CHL), before moving to the American Bank Center in 2004. The Coliseum also housed several minor league basketball teams, including the Corpus Christi Texans and the Corpus Christi Sharks, both of whom competed in short-lived leagues. The Texans, for example, were a part of the Continental Basketball Association (CBA) in the early 1980s.Memorial Coliseum was demolished in 2010, as newer venues like the American Bank Center replaced its role in Corpus Christi. However, the Coliseum remains a nostalgic landmark for the city’s residents who remember it as a central gathering place for sports and entertainment over its five decades of operation.
