The Coliseum was home to the San Antonio Rowels and its national team rodeo league competition, as well as two professional hockey teams, the Central Hockey League San Antonio Iguanas and later the International Hockey League San Antonio Dragons from 1996-1998.

The building hosted several professional wrestling events - The WWF's Tuesday in Texas in 1991 and the WWF Survivor Series in 1994.
