The Nebraska Coliseum (NU Coliseum) is an arena on the campus of the University of Nebraska–Lincoln in Lincoln, Nebraska. It most notably served as the home venue of the school's men's basketball and volleyball teams. Since volleyball was moved to the larger Bob Devaney Sports Center in 2013, the Coliseum has been primarily used for student recreation.
