 | | The need for a first-rate facility for intercollegiate athletics and student assemblies, additional academic space, and a large versatile arena to serve the cultural and entertainment needs of the University and Columbia communities was fulfilled with the opening of the 315,000-square-foot Carolina Coliseum in November l968. |
 | | Besides being the home of the College of Journalism and Mass Communications and College of Applied Professional Sciences, which occupy approximately one-third of the total area, the Coliseum is the site of the University's commencements, convocations, registration, orientation, and University-sponsored lectures, seminars, and activities of professional organizations. |
 | | The versatility and quality of the Coliseum also have allowed the University to use the facility for performing arts events such as the Boston Pops, Chicago Symphony, Feld Ballet and other performances by important artists. |
