Androscoggin Bank Colisee

Went there to see a Bush/​Theory of a Deadman concert on a night that it started snowing and it just kept going. We drove by it once about an hour early to see where it was and probably should have stopped as there was plenty of room in the parking lot. Instead we went looking for dinner and ended up at a Denny’s due to the timing and the other places were pretty crowded. When we went back it was still snowing, the parking lot was full, the parking attendants were no help, drove around for about 10 minutes and parked on the street. Not much to say about the inside, it was a concert down on the Colisee floor, we sat in the seats for a little while between acts, nothing fancy, the food was typical «sports arena» type food with huge lines for beer. When we left it was still snowing and I’m somewhat glad we weren’t in the parking lot as it was a mess to get out of but we had to hike through piled up snow to get back to our car.

Took my daughter to this rink while on vacation and she loved it. It wasn’t near as cold as the other rink and the other skaters were easy to the beginners. Prices were reasonable. Rental skates were in decent condition and there was plenty of seating for spectators.

I was in Lewiston for the NCAA Division III College Hockey Championships last weekend. The Colisee was a good venue for this event. Parking was cheap and easy and the event staff helpful.
Ok, it’s not a new venue and only seats 2,600 or so but, that’s what makes it nice. No insane crowds or crazy parking fees.
I grew up in Lewiston and remember the Colisee from 30 or 40 years ago and I have to stay it has held up well. Most arenas of that vintage have long ago been bulldozed.

Went up to Lewiston for the pirates/​falcons hockey game. This rink is not where the pirates should be playing. It is very old and dumpy. Please pirates, get your selves back to the civic center!!! It’s embarrassing for mainers to host a hockey game there.
