Gill Coliseum

Gill Coliseum is a sports arena located on the Oregon State University campus in Corvallis with seating capacity for approximately 9,600 spectators. The venue hosts basketball, wrestling, volleyball, and gymnastics events along with other university athletic competitions.

The building was constructed in 1949 and named after Amory T. Gill, a former basketball coach who shaped the university's athletic programs. Since its opening, it has served as the home for university sports and became a permanent fixture on campus.

The facility serves as the home venue for Oregon State University sports teams and is used by students, fans, and the local community during competitive seasons. The atmosphere when entering reflects the university colors and spirit, seen in how spectators gather and cheer within the space.

The building is easy to find on the campus grounds and has parking areas nearby with entrances on both the north and south sides. The main entry points are clearly marked and provide convenient access for visitors attending events.

The basement once housed the Horner Museum until 1995, displaying natural history collections and regional artifacts and giving the building an additional role in education. While this connection between sports and learning is no longer visible, it remains part of what makes this location noteworthy.
