Beasley Coliseum

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Beasley Coliseum is a 12,058-seat multi-purpose arena in Pullman, Washington. The arena opened in 1973 as Friel Court, which is still the name of the playing surface. It is home to the Washington State University Cougars basketball team. It replaced Bohler Gymnasium.

Despite the arena's full name, Beasley Performing Arts Coliseum, the arena is not only used for concerts, but also for basketball as mentioned above. Seating capacities for concerts range from 2,500 in a theater configuration to 9,000 in an end-stage configuration and 12,000 in the round.

According to the promoters' page of the Coliseum's website, one item that Beasley Coliseum does not have is a banana--a play on the old standard "Yes, We Have No Bananas."
