New Venue Promises Lots of Excitement!
The 2011 RCR season brings exciting new changes! Some bouts will continue to be held at the Hangar at Oaks Park and the Expo Center
while others will be held at our NEW venue -- the Memorial Coliseum! The new location is centrally located and easily accessible by
public transportation (Rose Quarter TC MAX station). This indoor arena features a traditional coliseum set up with chaired seating for
both Rockstar and VIP ticket holders, and stadium seating for general admission. To review the seating options at the Memorial Coliseum,
click here.
Two things to note: parking will be 13 bucks - so park off-site or take transit and there will not be floor seating - but those two things
aside, we're hoping you love the new venue!
