 Following the permanent move of all varsity teams from the Coliseum, the facility is now no longer used in any significant fashion, though it continues to be used as an extra practice facility and as office space by Nebraska's gymnastics teams.It is attached to Cook Pavilion and is used as part of UNL's city campus recreation center.Early in its history, the Coliseum was used for various events, including an Elvis Presley concert in 1956, an address by then-Vice President Richard Nixon in 1960, and a campaign speech by US Senator Robert F. Kennedy in April 1968 (just two months before his assassination).
