Veterans Memorial Coliseum (Marion, Ohio)

The Veterans Memorial Coliseum is a 3,200-seat multi-purpose arena, in Marion, Ohio. It was built in 1949.

It was home to the Marion Blue Racers indoor football team of X-League Indoor Football.

The arena was formerly home to the minor league professional ice hockey team during the 1953-54 International Hockey League season. The Toledo Mercurys played part of the 1955–56 season at the arena, operating as the "Toledo-Marion Mercurys." The most recent former tenant was the Marion Mayhem, which folded in 2010, after 5 years of participating in the CIFL (known as the Great Lakes Indoor Football League during its inaugural season).

The Ohio Junior High wrestling championships were held at the arena.
