Knoxville Civic Coliseum Events

The Knoxville Civic Coliseum* is located in Knoxville, an attractive city in eastern Tennessee known as the Gateway to the Great Smoky Mountains. The Coliseum is home to the (and adorably named) Knoxville Ice Bears who play in the SPHL, a regional professional hockey league. As well as an arena that seats 6,500, the Knoxville Civic Coliseum also contains a large auditorium that can host crowds of up to 2,500, making it a frequent venue for concerts, theater, comedy acts, professional wrestling, and other sporting competitions. The Coliseum’s downtown location puts it in the midst of many fine dining establishments and the facility’s concessions serve up tasty snacks during events. Merchandise can be found on sale at kiosks in the arena during games and events.

*The Knoxville Civic Coliseum is very close (5 minutes by car) to the gargantuan Neyland Stadium (the eighth largest stadium in the world! ) where the University of Tennessee Volunteers (NCAA) play their college football. Knoxville Civic Coliseum parking lots are made available to fans during football games at Neyland Stadium.
