Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum, Sports arena in Uniondale, US.
Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum is an arena in Uniondale, Nassau County, with over 16,000 seats arranged across multiple levels. The venue hosts sports competitions, concerts, and family events with flexible seating configurations.
Architect Welton Becket designed the facility, which opened on February 11, 1972. The arena later underwent major renovations and remained a center for large events across the New York region.
The name honors veterans from Nassau County, and flags along with memorial plaques inside remind visitors of their service. During hockey games or concerts, local fan groups follow traditions they have shared here for decades.
Guests can buy parking passes when purchasing tickets, with reserved areas for veterans and people with disabilities. Booking parking in advance gives access to separate entry lanes that reduce waiting time on event days.
The facility sits geographically in Nassau County rather than neighboring Queens County, though some references mention Queens. This location makes it a meeting point for residents from both regions.
