Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum

About Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum

Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum sits in Uniondale on Long Island, east of New York City, at 1255 Hempstead Turnpike. Opened in 1972, the arena is a long-running stop for touring concerts and large-scale live entertainment, shifting between music, family shows, and other ticketed events. After a major renovation in the 2010s, it returned as a flexible indoor venue with seating that can reach roughly 16,000, depending on configuration. Its programming reads like a record of how metropolitan crowds move between the city and the suburbs.
