- Winston-Salem Memorial Coliseum
Winston-Salem Memorial Coliseum was a multi-purpose arena in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The arena, which opened in 1955, held 8,500 people and was eventually replaced by the Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum in 1989. It was home to the Wake Forest University Demon Deacons men's basketball. It also hosted the Carolina Cougars of the American Basketball Association during some but not all of the team's tenure in North Carolina from 1969 through 1974. It also hosted the Winston-Salem Polar Twins when they played in the Southern Hockey League and the Carolina/Winston-Salem Thunderbirds of the Atlantic Coast Hockey League.
