The Coliseum

The Coliseum has been the premiere gathering place for Scurry Countians for four decades. The Coliseum arena is the home to festivals, concerts and collegiate athletics. The adjoining annex hosts both agricultural and livestock events.

These facilities are located on 57 acres and include meeting rooms, concession stands, ticket booths, air-conditioned offices, animal showers, livestock scales and equipment-all available to the public at a charge. The Coliseum has on-site parking space accommodations for 1,000 vehicles and 200 recreational vehicle facilities. Permanent seating capacity for the Coliseum is 3,055 with 1,000 portable.

Western Texas College took over operations in June, 2008 and immediately started a facelift to modernize the stately venue. One prime strategy is in place as the college proceeds with its plans for the facility. WTC wants to increase utilization with events that will introduce visitors to the great hospitality of West Texas and to provide the citizens of Scurry County a gathering place for a variety of events.

Snyder has four new hotels in the planning or construction stage plus five existing motels only minutes from the Coliseum. The facility has great parking and is near Route 84 which connects Snyder with Lubbock and Sweetwater. Interstate 20 is only 25 miles away. Snyder is located in the center of the Golden Triangle between Midland/Odessa, Lubbock and Abilene.
