It has quite a history. I saw Olympic volleyball there. It's still a right of passage at UGA to climb to the top, although getting around those metal guards is tricky. I had to look it up because I thought someone rode their motorcycle over it. Wikipedia says it was Jake Scott!! I also heard claims that someone flew a plane beneath the roof during construction.
Oh, and the concerts. While in school I saw the Village People, Marshall Tucker, Boston, Heart, and Jimmy Buffet at the Coliseum (it wasn't Stegman back then).

Yeah, Jake Scott is more or less the reason those metal grates exist in the spines of the coliseum. He would get drunk and ride his motorcycle over the top on a dare. 60s were wild, man 
Wish on campus concerts were still a well regarded time as they were back in the 70s and 80s. But then I suppose in Athens we have venues enough for those events off campus

TBA and BWA are pretty freaking awesome and huge. Rupp sucked in my opinion or it just lacked the same atmosphere. Of the newer areas, Auburn got it right. Most of the SEC has no business playing in these caverns. Built a nice, smaller arena with fans right on top of the action.
