I will continue to call the arena the Coliseum until it has a real name.
One note: I was told if parents left the arena after IHSA events their child participated in they had to pay again to re-enter later. If the goal is increasing traffic downtown, this policy prevents that from happening.





Total Profit $159,341.22
