Androscoggin Bank Colisée
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Androscoggin Bank Colisee (formerly Central Maine Civic Center and Lewiston Colisee) is a 4,000 capacity (3,675 seated) multi-purpose arena in Lewiston, Maine that opened in 1958. It is home to the Lewiston MAINEiacs Ice hockey team.
The Colisee is best known as the site of the Muhammad Ali-Sonny Liston rematch on May 25, 1965. During the mid-1970s the Maine Nordiques hockey team called the Colisee home, and during the arena's early years the Boston Celtics basketball team played preseason games at the Colisee.
The Colisee is also used for concerts, conventions and trade shows. There is 17,000 square feet (1600 m²) of exhibit space. For conventions, the Colisee can accommodate up to 4,800 patrons. The Colisee was renovated in recent years. The arena is located near Bates College.
