Allen County War Memorial Coliseum, Indoor arena in Fort Wayne, United States
The Allen County War Memorial Coliseum is an indoor arena in Fort Wayne, Indiana, with over ten thousand seats. The building combines an arena with an exposition center that offers space for trade shows and concerts.
The city opened the facility in September 1952 as a war memorial and community center. Construction took more than two years and was designed to host both sporting events and civic gatherings.
The complex features a public memorial chapel inside the building that carries the names of veterans. People visit the site for both events and to honor soldiers from the region.
The grounds sit near major roads and are easy to reach by car. Visitors find many parking spots around the building and food stands inside during events.
An anchor from the World War II battleship USS Indiana stands on the outdoor grounds. The heavy metal object connects the hall to the naval history of the state.
