Support the Future of the Warner Coliseum this Give to the Max Day! The Warner Coliseum is in the midst of a multiyear, $22 million renovation — the first major update in the building’s nearly 75-year history.  Over its long-standing history, this iconic building has been the venue for many events including hockey tournaments, rodeos, the circus, and so much more. This exciting project will preserve the Coliseum’s rich legacy while transforming it into a more accessible, comfortable, and modern venue for the next generation of fairgoers, exhibitors, and event guests. 

As part of the renovation, the Coliseum will receive new electrical systems, lighting, bathrooms, paint, and accessibility upgrades — all essential improvements to keep this historic space vibrant, comfortable, and welcoming for all.

And now, the Foundation is unveiling a new recognition opportunity — the ability to personalize a name plate on a new arena seat! It’s a lasting way to celebrate your Fair memories or honor someone special while supporting this historic transformation. 

No matter the size, your gift will make a difference. Every donation helps fund continued improvements and brings us closer to completing this once-in-a-generation project. With a tax-deductible gift of $800, donors will be contacted to personalize a nameplate on a seat in the newly renovated arena. 

Join us this Give to the Max Day and be part of the new era of the Warner Coliseum!
