El Paso County Coliseum

Came to the El Paso Coliseum a few weeks ago for the Motionless in White concert! It's not the biggest venue but it was a decent size for the event my husband went to. It's right next to the Rhinos Hockey rink so I was a little familiar with the area.Parking was $5 I think? Cash only. But you get to park right up front by the entrance so it's nice!They had a concession stand offering drinks and snacks as well. I saw a couple alcohol options as well as the standard water and fountain drinks. For snacks I think they had nachos but not sure what else.One thing I will mention is they did not allow re-entry. My husband and I had purchased concert apparel and wanted to wear it right away, sucked that we couldn't go put our clothes in the car and come back. But other than that it's a pretty decent venue.I'm sure we'll be back for other events in the future!

This drive in concert was a great success! The restrooms were clean and social distancing was enforced everywhere. This was a great idea. We were on the last rows so it was difficult to see the stage but the screens showed everything and the sound and lighting were great. The only downside I thought was that they had you park from the outside in. I got there early because it said "first come, first served", so I expected to get the best position at the center! It didn't work out as best place to first guests, so no point in arriving early. I also wish they would stop cars from incessant honking, it made it difficult to hear the concert. Otherwise we had a great evening with beatify weather and great friends!

I was a coliseum hater until yesterday when I went to the Texas Country music festival. I didn't realize the facility is 75 years old. I thought about all the times I have been there through my life. My early memories were of the ice capades, the circus and the rodeo.My adult memories were taking my kids to the above and the concerts and I have to say acoustically the faculty is good. I don't remember a time when I said I couldn't hear well. Or sound quality was bad. As I have had with other El Paso Venues,Now I must warn you WATCH YOUR STEP the stair design is beyond unsafe. The stairs are different lengths and sizes. So know where your friends are! Look down! This is my star reduction here. Now the seats are not really uncomfortable for those who are a little wider like me. But if you are tall you are knocking knees against the seat in front of you. I highly recommend row F on upper deck as this is a walkway and you have plenty of leg room or aisle seat for those taller than 5'2. And if you can go for floor seats or section 32 on the wall.Why I am no longer a hater? I just decided to be grateful for what we have. And I asked myself do I want to appreciate what we have with current facility and keep ticket prices low or have a new facility with higher ticket prices. I truly have not paid more than 30.00 for most events.

We attended the Cayote soccer game tonight, and had a very good time.We have two complaints. First, The toilets in the Ladies East side were not functioning properly! They were all fixed with paper and it took several flushes to make them work. They didn't seem yo have enough pressure.Second , the venue was quite warm ! It seemed to us that there was no air circulating and or the air conditioning was not working.

it is mind boggling that a venue that houses thousands has the same amount of reviews as the most obscure restaurant you could think of.. 3 reviews total (and all bad ones).. the oldest photo is from 2014. 3 reviews in 4 years. i was gonna leave a review the first time i came, but when i saw the page i thought i must've had the wrong venue lol. but nope, this is it.. i saw carnage + rae sremmurd here last month, and then bad bunny last night. truth is, i much prefer smaller, more personal venues. and i came to come out with friends, more than really being into the style of music represented here. that being said, its like coming to a mini festival, which can be fun as spectacle. value reflected in high ticket prices, but the investment is clearly worth it for the fans who flock, dolled up and ready to party. the experience of walking past streams of ppl is such a stark contrast to the usual contact alienation i feel around the streets of el paso. the carnage concert was fun, american trap. but seeing bad bunny, reggaeton/trap, was eye opening. it was like a deep immersion into latin american culture, being in the middle of that dancing singalong crowd, i became a part of the host, and, i know this is going to sound weird, but i actually felt latin american for the while. in that moment i was thankful to have seen a peek behind the curtain that i feel is usually shut to me, as an asian living in el paso. for one night, holy communion found. some tidbits: 1. $6 beer, they have a concession stand at entry and a floor bar as well.2. if not sure what to wear, i'd err on the side of dressy if ur into that. i just wear whats comfy because thats how i do aka single forever. 3. they metal detect u before entry, and say u can't bring in stuff like open drinks, gum, cigarettes, bags (my man purse was rejected). i dont think they pat u down so just be reasonable. i take a couple sticks of gum, no harm? then u see ppl in there with their vapes and smell weed lol. 4. ticket prices are fixed high in anticipation of selling out, but if they don't, prices will drop as the date approaches. bad bunny floor tix went from $85 when we bought to $65 week prior. but i remember last year maluma sold out @ $100+.. 5. parking in adjacent streets off paisano is the best idea. the actual dedicated parking lot in front of the venue is nice and big, but trying to get out after the show is bottleneck city. don't fall for the little private side lot offering $10-20 parking, the shit is free all adjacent. 6. check if its an all ages event. if so, behave appropriately!7. addressing earlier reviews, the acoustics aren't optimal, being primarily bass driven, but hey its loud filter. it also is a bit warm, but you'll sweat anywhere if you're dancing right. bathrooms are nice and large capacity.

Music was great, organized staff members to help you park and find your seats, good sound quality! The seats are a bit cramped which is my only complaint! We had a great time at the country music fest!

The West Texas Country Music was really nice. The Coliseum is a pleasure to visit. The air conditioning was set just right and made the whole experience so much better. The place was clean and there was nothing to complain about.

The acoustics in this venue are TERRIBLE, and in the summer, the climate control is almost nonexistent, since the place is in an urban heat sink. The performers and the audience both end up dying of heatstroke. It's a HORRIBLE place to see a concert. Avoid.

Food and beverage are too expensive, event staff are nice but some of the concession staff are rude. This place need AC because it's super hot in there.

Had some tickets dropped off at the box, and the lady had some mean attitude and there was not even a line the first lady acted like she didn't care, and i feel that was so bad because i know damn well she doesn't get paid enough to give me such bad attitude.
