I cannot think of a single time that I have been to an event at the Colosseum that I did not have an amazing time. The events hosted here highlight what Fort Wayne has to offer, and it is wonderful. Whether is be a Komets or Mad ants game, an expo, or the war memorials, I enjoy my time here again and again.
Clean facility and friendly, helpful staff. Haven't really found a bad seat in the whole place. Awesome events. Getting in and out with traffic can be frustrating. Not great flow or direction. But over all the main arena is a large enough venue without losing connection to the events whether it's a concert, the Komets or Mad Ants or even the circus. And the smaller events rooms work perfectly as well
A lot of work has been put into this place over the years. Paint job and carpet look great. Bathrooms, well for public convention center bathrooms are a slight bit above average. Signage is and has been horrible. Especially when multiple things are going on at once. The TV's do show where to go, but they are cut off on the edges so you cannot even read what is where.
As a hockey fan, I LOVE coming here. Parking is reasonable and controlled so there's little to no problems with finding a spot and concessions are great. GO KOMETS! Also a great venue for concerts.
Absolutely beautiful, nice place to watch a hockey game!! A huge selection of food and drink and any employee I came in contact with was extremely friendly! Was A LOT of fun watching the Komets win! If I HAD to pick a negative I would say they should have merchandise sales on more than just the ground floor, but it's not that big a deal. GO KOMETS!!
great venue, was there for a business meeting, but they have local hockey team the Komets as well as a D league for basketball. several music acts come here each year.
The dinosaur displays are interesting. The dinosaur fossil dig is a good hands on for children. The dinosaur rides were in Clinen's words to slow. The big dinosaurs didn't move. There were some educational fossil displays. On the Jurassic Quest brochure it said jeep rides. When I asked someone where they were. I was told. They aren't at this location ( really) ?? A lot of bounce houses..
Good venue for events like the WWE .
VIP parking allowed for convenient entering and exiting.
Bathrooms and entire venue were also wheelchair accessible which is a plus.
Would return for future events
We had our wedding reception in the white room Saturday. It was so beautifully designed. The staff was considerate, attentive, and helpful. The event coordinators made sure everything ran so smoothly and flawlessly. The food we chose from their kitchen was amazing and delicious. We highly recommend their services for any event.
Great Venue. Not sure why they are trying to ruin it by building an arena downtown. I guess Fort Wayne Loves going into debt
Nice for sporting events (Mad Ants basketball, Komets hockey) and smaller shows, such as Disney on Ice. The acoustics are terrible for concerts. Concession stands are plentiful and the food is decent. The seating is REALLY tiny and uncomfortable for a person of small stature such as myself, so I can't imagine how they are for larger folks. I was kneed/kicked in a head a lot by the kids sitting behind me the last time I was here.
Great place to see many types of entertainment. Lots of parking. Traffic can be a pain before and after events.
Overall, the Memorial Coliseum is a nice venue. I feel that the concessions are extremely overpriced for the quality of the items. Aside from that there isn't a bad seat in the place and parking is one of the most affordable in terms of other venues at $5.
Worst place possible to get tickets. I want to buy tickets for an event without have to drive there and buy them. Online will not allow me to enter kids admissions. I called the box office and they won't sell you tickets (point of a box office?) I called there automated phone line and it claims the event is not coming to my area. Hit 0 to get an operator and it hangs up on you. Ask for an operator and it tells you it doesn't have enough information to transfer you. I called the box office to tell them my problem and they said they could not help. Worst customer service ever!
Modern sports and expo venue. Easy to find. Staff were friendly and helpful. Concessions very expensive as you would expect. Small convenience store in addition to traditional concession stand.
