Talk:Omni Coliseum

Untitled
The article states that The Omni was demolished to make way for the Philips Arena, but does not detail why the Omni was inadequate to continue serving as the city's sports arena. It would be informative to know the reasons for this. Robertknyc 17:10, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Other concerts held at the arena included shows by Van Halen, Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, Rod Stewart, Dwight Yoakam, Ozzy Osbourne, Metallica, and several others. Parts of Def Leppard's live home video "In The Round, In Your Face" were filmed at the Omni in October 1988.

I'd just like to add that the never released (but online available) Pink Floyd Concert Movie from 1987 has been recorded here. At least the official Video to "On the turning away" comes from that recording. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.246.7.154 (talk) 18:35, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

Chronology
"built the basketball-specific scoreboard in the early 1980s to replace the original hockey-specific scoreboard that Daktronics maintained during the 1990s." There seems to be some sort of temporal confusion here. --User:Khajidha (talk) (contributions) 17:45, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

Metallica
Not only were the biggest, baddest band, Metallica, at the Omni close to a dozen times, but they demolished the stage, on April 23,1997, having the last music concert. The fact that they're never mentioned in this article, seems obviously vendictive, for someone. That last show again, was April 23,1997. It's really ridiculous, that Metallica isn't even MENTIONED, forget that the last show at the Omni, isn't mentioned. Smh. Laddiega (talk) 17:25, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
