When we modified the parking lot this fall, we added an additional drive lane that is utilized during peak times to improve the time it takes to get vehicles on the parking lot through the Coliseum Boulevard entrance. We have changed the inbound traffic flow at peak times in an attempt to eliminate vehicles getting stuck in the Coliseum Boulevard-Paul Shaffer Drive intersection. We are still tweaking the process and will allow people to turn right from that entrance during non-peak times. If you need to drop someone off at the front doors, the simplest way to do that is to use the ticket office “circle drive” which enters the Coliseum complex just west of the Paul Shaffer Drive intersection.
No, the Memorial Coliseum does not rent strollers. Guests are welcome to bring their own child strollers into the building for tradeshows or sale events in the Expo Center.
