Le Colisée

Le Colisée in Charleville-Mézières was opened in 2001. It is a modern structure.

It is a basketball arena, not a football stadium or ice hockey rink, and the playing surface is a tight indoor court. The capacity is consistently cited in sources as approximately 4,000 to 4,500, with the specific figure of 4,186 matching the database identifier for this venue. It hosted the 2016 FIBA Europe Cup Final Four. The venue is primarily the home of the Étoile de Charleville-Mézières basketball team, which competes in the French National 1 (NM1) league. There is no record of former names for this specific venue; it was inaugurated as Le Colisée. The architect and builder of the original 2001 structure were not found in the available sources.

Other venues named 'Le Colisée' exist in Trois-Rivières, Canada (Colisée Vidéotron, opened 2021, capacity ~4,390; and Colisée Jean-Guy Talbot, opened 1951, capacity 3,500), but these do not match the specific capacity of 4,186 or the context of a basketball arena in France. The Charleville-Mézières venue is distinct from the 'Salle Omnisports Bayard' also present in the city.
