The Big E Coliseum

The Big E Coliseum

The Eastern States Coliseum, better known as the Big E Coliseum, is a 5,900-seat multi-purpose arena in West Springfield, Massachusetts, built in 1926. The longtime home of the Springfield Indians professional hockey team, the Coliseum was a part time home to the New England Whalers ice hockey team while the team was in the World Hockey Association.

Today, though the ice plant has been dismantled and hockey games are no longer played there, the arena is a venue for The Big E, and hosts a semi-pro indoor soccer team, circuses and other local events.
