Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum Reviews
Rated out of 5
Checked out ImportExpo here and it's a fantastic spot for an automotive event. As a filmmaker, I'm always looking at the lighting and the space—the Coliseum delivers on both. The mix of the dark indoor arena and the huge outdoor VIP section gives the event a great flow. It handles massive crowds easily and provides a perfect backdrop for the cars. 👌

Nice facility I went here for electrify expo 2025. The event was a little lackluster for me, but was fun a lot of activities for the kids to do that. We’re free a lot of demos for riding PEV‘s and electric vehicles overall take prices were on the cheap side decent selection of food trucks.

Nice venue for concert and music, digging and sounds are great, seats are tiny and very uncomfortable, no space in beween row. Event parking is extremely costly $40 ! if u didn't buy online before. Even online is $28.

I recently attended a monster truck event at the Coliseum in Nassau, and it was an absolute thrill.
The energy in the atmosphere was electric-fans were buzzing, the crowd was massive, and the sound of the roaring engines was absolutely exhilarating. The stadium itself was perfectly designed to keep everyone engaged-great sightlines from all sections, and the seating was super comfortable. If you're looking for an action-packed night out, the Coliseum is a definite must-visit!
Joe does an excellent job when it comes to any event at the coliseum can’t wait to go to the next event .
