Arena usage

Sports

Arena football

City Bank Coliseum was home to the Lubbock Gunslingers and Lubbock Renegades.

College basketball

The Texas Tech Red Raiders basketball team began playing at the Coliseum during the 1956–57 season. The Texas Tech Lady Raiders basketball team began playing select games during the 1976–77 and 1977–78 seasons. The Lady Raiders began playing only at Lubbock Municipal Coliseum beginning with the 1978–79 season. After the United Spirit Arena opened in 1999, both teams relocated to the university owned and operated arena. The Coliseum also hosted the Midwest Regional semi-final and final games of the 1966 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament won by the Texas Western Miners (now UTEP) who went on to upset the Kentucky Wildcats men's basketball team in the national championship game in College Park, Maryland.

Ice hockey

The arena had been home to the Lubbock Cotton Kings of the Central Hockey League; however, after being unable to come to an agreement with the city of Lubbock for the use of the arena, the team suspended operations prior to the 2007-2008 season.^[1]^[2]

Professional basketball

During the 1971-72 American Basketball Association season, the Lubbock Municipal Coliseum served as a sometimes home court for the then-named Texas Chaparrals, a one-year experiment by the Dallas Chaparrals to expand their appeal to a statewide audience. The Chaparrals eventually became the San Antonio Spurs of the American Basketball Association and later of the NBA.

Wrestling

City Bank Coliseum has been the longtime Lubbock home of World Wrestling Entertainment since the 1980s. World Championship Wrestling also visited the Coliseum for most of the 1990s until United Spirit Arena opened.

Concerts

The Lubbock Municipal Coliseum was a popular stop for touring artists. In the 80's, tickets at the time were between $12 and $13. Major concert tours have since moved to United Spirit Arena, but the Coliseum still hosts concerts with capacity of up to 8,728.

Other

City Bank Coliseum is also used for the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus, Disney on Ice and Stars on Ice. Champions on Ice called the Coliseum until moving into the United Spirit Arena in 2008.

City Bank Auditorium

Adjacent to the coliseum is the 2,803-seat City Bank Auditorium, used for stage shows, concerts and other special events and featuring a 96-by-45-foot permanent stage and eight dressing rooms. Both facilities share the same concession stands.
