Cape Cod Coliseum

Cape Cod Coliseum was a concrete arena in South Yarmouth that served as a multipurpose venue for sports events and musical performances. The facility could accommodate between 5,000 and 6,500 people.

William Harrison opened the Coliseum in 1972, creating a venue for professional sports and major concerts. The facility operated for 12 years before closing in 1984.

The venue attracted major rock bands and touring acts that performed here between the early 1970s and mid-1980s. It became a gathering place for music fans across the region who came to experience live performances by internationally recognized artists.

The venue was located on Whites Path and offered different configurations depending on the type of event. Visitors could expect varying seating arrangements based on whether it was a sports game or concert.

The building hosted professional wrestling matches under Vince McMahon's management in the late 1970s and beyond. When it closed in 1984, the structure was repurposed as a warehouse by Christmas Tree Shops.
