The Nets played at the Coliseum from 1972 – 1977 and won American Basketball Association Championships in 1974 and 1976. Julius “DR. J” Erving from Roosevelt was league MVP in 1974, 75 & 76. Nickelodeon’s Mega-Mess-A-Mania broke all records for any event that they have done in any venue. Our other family shows including Disney’s On Ice, Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus and Sesame Street Live along with the numerous figure skating shows continue to reach new levels of attendance every year. Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus holds the Coliseum record for most performances. They have performed at the facility each year since 1972. The concert record for most performances is held by the Grateful Dead with 35. Billy Joel is next with 19.
