Mississippi Coast Coliseum

The Mississippi Coast Coliseum is the largest beachfront facility of its kind in the South and continues to be the crowd favorite for sports and live entertainment, drawing year-round attendees locally as well as from New Orleans, LA; Mobile, AL; and Jackson, MS.

Since its opening in 1977, it has played host to Broadway theatre, comedians, superstar entertainers, professional sports, rodeos, festivals, circuses, and ice shows.

It is also home to the SPHL 2010 regular season champions, the Mississippi Surge Hockey Team.

The flexibility of the Arena can accommodate an intimate crowd of just 3,000-4,000 in theatre configuration or up to 15,000 with full arena festival seating.

All seats are fully upholstered and part of a recent renovation that includes new lighting, signage, ceilings, updated dressing rooms, and the addition of a parking garage.

Recent entertainers have included Taylor Swift, Kenny Chesney, Jeff Dunham, Keith Urban and Carrie Underwood, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, Reba and Kelly Clarkson, and Michael Buble’.

Family events, such as the Walking with Dinosaurs phenomenon, the Cirque Du Soleil, and RB&BB Circus have also entertained crowds.

The MS Coast Coliseum is located right on the beach, just 10 miles from the Gulfport/Biloxi International Airport. There are several quality hotels and numerous restaurants within a short drive.
