Prather Coliseum

Prather Coliseum

Prather Coliseum is a 3,900-seat multi-purpose arena in Natchitoches, Louisiana. It was built in 1970 and is home to the Northwestern State University Demons basketball team. It hosted the Southland Conference men's basketball tournament in 2005-06.

It is best known as the venue for the final concert performed by rock star Jim Croce on September 20, 1973. Shortly after the concert, Croce's plane crashed shortly after takeoff from the Natchitoches airport, killing Croce and all others aboard the plane.
