Charleston Coliseum
200 Civic Center Dr
Charleston, WV 25301
Opened: November 11, 1958
Originally known as Charleston Civic Center, now called the Charleston Coliseum & Convention Center, is a municipal complex located in the downtown area of Charleston, West Virginia. Originally completed in 1958. It consists of four main components: the Coliseum, the Theater, the Auditorium, and the Convention Center (also referred to as the Grand Hall).

In 1953, the first in a series of general obligation bonds was approved by city voters for the construction of a civic center in the downtown area of Charleston, West Virginia between Lee Street and Quarrier Street on the banks of the Elk River just before the Elk River empties into the Kanawha River. When the original Civic Center opened in November 1958 at the cost of $2.5 million, it consisted of a 6,000 seat arena and the 750-seat "Little Theater."

The complex underwent its first renovation and expansion in 1964 when 2,400 additional seats were added to the arena and a paved parking lot and an ice rink were added to the facilities. The $1.5 million project was financed through the sale of revenue bonds.

It hosts the quarterfinals, semifinals, and finals of the annual, West Virginia State High School Boys and Girls Basketball Tournaments, music concerts, professional wrestling, and hosted basketball games between in-state rivals West Virginia University and Marshall University until that series ended in 2016. West Virginia State University held its commencement ceremonies in the Coliseum until 2013.
