Winston-Salem Memorial Coliseum

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Winston-Salem Memorial Coliseum was a multi-purpose arena in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The arena held 8,500 people and was eventually replaced by the Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum in 1989. It was home to the Wake Forest University Demon Deacons men's basketball. It also hosted the Carolina Cougars of the American Basketball Association during some but not all of the team's tenure in North Carolina from 1969 through 1974. It also hosted the Winston-Salem Polar Twins when they played in the Southern Hockey League.

Here are some memorial games at the old coliseum (Source: Wake Forest Media Guide):

  • December 11, 1966: North Carolina State and Wake began what becomes the longest game in ACC history after the lights at the coliseum are blackened due to a transformer fire with 10:02 remaining in the first half. The two teams resumed the game on February 23 with State taking a 101-75 win.
  • December 17, 1985: Tyrone Mugsy Bogues ties a school record he set earlier in the month for the most steals in one game, 8, vs. Georgia Southern.
