Roberto Clemente Coliseum (Spanish: Coliseo Roberto Clemente) is a sports and concert indoor arena in Puerto Rico since opening in 1973. Located in the Hato Rey business center of San Juan, the capital city and municipality of the archipelago and island, the venue is named after legendary baseball player Roberto Clemente. It has a maximum capacity of 12,500, making it the second-largest indoor arena in Puerto Rico and the insular Caribbean, after the nearby José Miguel Agrelot Coliseum. The Coliseum is named after baseball hall of famer Roberto Clemente, who died in a plane crash off Isla Verde International Airport in Carolina in 1972, while flying with relief articles to be given to victims of the Nicaragua earthquake. Construction of the facility began in the late 1960s, it was finished in January 1973, and inaugurated in February of that year by the Fania All-Stars. The coliseum has been host to a variety of events, including world championship boxing and basketball, business expos, circus, concerts and other things. Many Puerto Rican and international performers have been at the arena, among others. Van Halen were scheduled to perform during their III Tour on September 20 and December 11, 1998, but the shows were cancelled. It has been the home of three different BSN professional basketball teams and the BSN has also used it as a neutral site for their most important games, including game 7 of the championship finals, several times. The Coliseum has also been used by religious leaders for conferences and religious services. Most of the world championship boxing bouts fought in Puerto Rico during the late 1970s and early 1980s were fought at the Roberto Clemente coliseum, including Roberto Durán's world title defense versus Mexican Leoncio Ortiz, Wilfredo Gómez's knockout win against Carlos Zarate, many of Samuel Serrano's title defenses, and the fight where Muhammad Ali defended his title against Jean Pierre Coopman, the only time a world Heavyweight championsh
