Memorial Coliseum
Memorial Coliseum is a very old
building. It does not have air conditioning. The only way that air circulates
is four huge fans, two on each side of the building. This causes the building
to be very hot and humid especially when there are big crowds in there, which
happens quiet often. The walls inside
are brick. Inside of Memorial, there are big banners hanging up from when the
men’s basketball team played in there. The banners are blue and they are huge. There
are several banners and it really adds to the building. In the middle of the
banners, is a huge score board. The score board is black, but numbers appear on
it. The numbers that appear on the scoreboard are different colors. The
scoreboard also gives stats of the players who are playing in the game. On the
opposite side of the scoreboard, there is a huge screen that will play
different little skits during the game. If something else is going on at
memorial, it can show something that is related towards what is going on.
When you walk inside of memorial coliseum for
a volleyball game, there are very nice greeters that direct you towards the gym
and they check your ID to make sure you are a student. Everyone who works there
are really nice people and always willing to help someone out. There are seats that are raised up from the
floor so people can when there is a volleyball game or another type of show.
When the volleyball team plays in memorial, it is very crowded and very loud.
When there is a game, there are sit that surround the floor and then the seats
that are higher up. The volleyball court is a different color than the rest of
the floor. The court is gray and blue. Under the court, is hardwood floor, but
the rest of building is concrete. The floor does not look clean at all, but
that is probably because it is so old. Around the court, there are tables where
people are sitting keeping score, announcing the game, and keeping stats. Also
around the court, people are videotaping the game and taking pictures while the
game is going on. During the games,
there is a concession stand. They sell normal concession food such as hotdogs,
nachos, pretzels, soft drinks, and candy. The food tastes really good and the
drinks are very cold. During halftime,
there are games that people will play out on the court, and they try to win
free prizes.
The inside of memorial is kept up
very well. Even though the floors look old, they are clean for the most part.
The floor that surrounds the seats are kept clean. There is no food or other
trash under the seats. The bathrooms are clean as well. The bathrooms are big.
They are just like any other stadium’s bathrooms.
Looking from the outside, memorial
coliseum does look old at all. It looks well put together. It also looks very big, which it is big in
the inside too. Hanging from the building on the outside, are two huge banners
of the volleyball players. The rest of the building is brick and more of a tan
color. They hang on each side of the
building and are both blue. They change the banners several times throughout
the year. There are several doors that can let you inside of the building.
Around the building, there is nice landscaping. There are trees and flowers in
front of the building. To the left of memorial, there is construction being
done to build new dorms. Directly in
front of memorial coliseum, there is a main street that has a lot of traffic
throughout the day. The student center is right across from memorial. There is
a side walk on each side of the street, so many students pass memorial each day
while they are walking to class or going to eat. Behind and towards the side of
memorial coliseum, is the Joe Craft Center. People can walk from the Joe craft
center into memorial coliseum. Behind memorial coliseum, is the parking lot and
people can park there for free.
