Product Description

MISSISSIPPI GULF COAST COLISEUM

OS-1139

The Mississippi Coast Coliseum is a 9,150-seat multi-purpose arena in Biloxi, Mississippi.

It was previously home to the Mississippi Sea Wolves (ECHL) ice hockey team. Due to damages to the arena by heavy flooding and winds, from Hurricane Katrina in August 2005, the Mississippi Sea Wolves cancelled their 2005-2006 and 2006-2007 seasons. Repairs are now virtually complete, and the Sea Wolves returned on the ice on October 27, 2007. On March 30, 2009, the Sea Wolves announced they had suspended operations once again. However, the Coliseum will not be without ice hockey entirely, as the Mississippi Surge has announced its membership in the Southern Professional Hockey League and will play at the Coliseum for the 2009-10 season.

It was home to the Gulf Coast Bandits, a basketball team that played in the WBA. The Gulf Coast Bandits cancelled their 2006 season for the same reasons as the Sea Wolves and didn't return in 2007. The Coliseum also hosted the Mississippi Coast Gamblers of the United States Basketball League in 1994.

The Mississippi Firedogs of the National Indoor Football League also played at the arena, folding in 2003.
