Coleman Coliseum is home to the Crimson Tide basketball, volleyball, and gymnastics teams. The Coliseum seats more than 15,000 for basketball games and frequently hosts UA events such as commencement exercises and class registration.
The building also houses Athletics Department offices, the President's reception area, an auxiliary gymnasium, an equipment room, weight rooms, a steam bath, a training room, food service areas, a photo studio, and locker room facilities.
Coleman Coliseum opened in 1968 with a performance of the Broadway touring production "The Roar of the Greasepaint; the Smell of the Crowd." Since then, the Coliseum has hosted a visit by President Ronald Reagan and seen performances by Elvis Presley, Ray Charles, Bob Dylan, Reba McIntyre, and many other entertainers. Travis Tritt once filmed a music video at the Coliseum.
Coleman Coliseum is building 50 on the campus map.
