Departmental Focus
The Bernard G. Johnson Coliseum is a multipurpose facility located on the campus of Sam Houston State University. Many University departments, student groups, local high schools, community organizations and national promotional companies share the Coliseum. It is a cornerstone of activity for the University, Huntsville, and surrounding communities.
The Coliseum was completed in 1976 and was originally called the University Coliseum. The name was later changed to the Bernard G. Johnson Coliseum, in honor of long time Board of Regents member, Bernard G. Johnson of Houston.
