The Coliseum has become a legendary and traditional high schoolbasketball venue. It hostedOHSAA central district and regional playoffs in boys' High School basketball until 2013, when the Central District Athletic Board opted to move games to Ohio Dominican University. During each fall and winter the Coliseum is also home to Columbus Ice Hockey Club (CIHC) and CCYHA youth hockey.
