122,500 square foot facility that is home to the
Department of Health, Physical Education and Sport

basketball and volleyball. The arena space is
approximately 96,000 square feet and has a maximum
capacity of 7,500 for athletic events. It is the largest
enclosed public assembly facility between Atlanta and
Birmingham along the I-20 corridor. The Coliseum also
hosts concerts, camps, exhibitions, convocations and
graduations. During 2009-2010, UWG opened an
athletic complex that includes a 9,000 seat football
stadium, athletic department operations center, and softball and soccer stadiums.
The University of West Georgia is located in Carrollton and is 45 miles west of downtown
