About Lee And Rose Warner Coliseum
The Lee and Rose Warner Coliseum sits on the Minnesota State Fairgrounds in Falcon Heights, MN. This multi-use indoor arena, with a capacity typically ranging from 5,000 to 5,250 depending on the event configuration, has a rich history—from its days as the Hippodrome to hosting hockey and a variety of shows. In 2006, it was renamed in honor of Lee & Rose Warner. As renovations continue on the roof through 2024–2026, access can shift for certain events, so it’s smart to confirm details before you plan your visit. We’ve got you covered with seating info, parking, transit options, and nearby hotel and dining recommendations to keep your trip straightforward and stress-free.
Whether you’re catching a livestock or dog show, an ice hockey game, roller derby, or other events, secure your seats through a trusted source and check the latest venue updates. The Coliseum is served by an accessible Transit Hub at Gate 16 during fair events, with multiple parking lots around the arena. For those traveling from out of town, there are solid hotel options in nearby St. Paul and Roseville. We’ve highlighted affiliate-friendly hotels and nearby dining options to simplify planning.
