Roberto Clemente Coliseum

The Roberto Clemente Coliseum is an indoor sports venue with roughly 9,000 seats located in San Juan, Puerto Rico. It sits alongside Hiram Bithorn Municipal Stadium and shares the grounds with the Tito Puente Amphitheater as part of a larger sports complex.

The coliseum opened in 1973 shortly after the death of a prominent baseball player who died while on a humanitarian mission. It was created as a tribute to his memory and legacy on the island.

The venue bears the name of a beloved baseball player and has become a gathering place for people across the island to watch sports and enjoy live music. This connection to a sports hero has made it a symbol of community pride in San Juan.

The sports complex is easy to navigate with clear pathways connecting all buildings and facilities on the grounds. Arriving early on event days helps you find parking more easily and avoid large crowds entering at once.

The venue hosted world championship boxing matches during Puerto Rico's golden age of the sport, drawing major fighters and massive local crowds. This period established it as an important landmark in Caribbean boxing history.
