Ohio Expo Center Coliseum

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Ohio Expo Center Coliseum is a 7,000-seat multi-purpose arena located at the Ohio Exposition Center and State Fairground in Columbus, Ohio. It was built in 1918. Nicknamed "The Barn," the Coliseum has become a legendary and traditional High School Basketball venue. It continues to be home to the OHSAA central district and regional playoffs in boys' High School hoops. It was also once home to both the Ohio Gears and Columbus Chill ice hockey. The Barn was renovated in 2005 to include new scoreboards, the addition of shot clocks above the backboards, a fresh coat of paint, and new rest rooms.
