City Bank Coliseum
The
City Bank Coliseum, formerly known as the
Lubbock Municipal Coliseum, is in Lubbock.
Texas.
It is a 7,050 seat
multi-purpose stadium what is home to the
Lubbock Renegades af2 arena football
team and the Texas Tech Red
Raiders club ice hockey team. The City Bank
Coliseum is the annual venue of the ABC
Rodeo.
The Lubbock Cotton Kings of the Central
Hockey also used to call the City Bank
Coliseum their home. However, they were
unable to come to terms with the city for
the use of the stadium, and the hockey team
had to cease operations before the 2007-2008
season.
The City Bank Coliseum was used as the Texas
Chaparrals as their home court in the
1971-72 American Basketball Association
season. The Chaparrals conducted this
one-year trial in an attempt to boost their
popularity. The team is now known as the
Antonio Spurs, and they are part of the
American Basketball Association and, later,
of the National Basketball Association
(NBA).
Events which were formerly held at the
Coliseum include the Texas Tech basketball.
This is now being held on the other side of
the Texas Tech University at the United
Spirit Arena. The City Bank Coliseum and the
Jones AT&T Stadium share a parking lot. The
latter is where the football team Texas Tech
Red Raiders play.
