Veterans Memorial Coliseum - mid-century arena for large concerts

Veterans Memorial Coliseum at the Rose Quarter opened in 1960 and has served as Portland's primary indoor arena for large-scale concerts and touring rock and pop shows for decades. The Coliseum's modernist design and role as a major event venue have made it a documented site in Portland's music history, hosting both musical and civic events. It continues to be used for concerts, sporting events, and large public gatherings.
