Upgrades Continue Inside Northeast's Historic Bonner Arnold Coliseum
BOONEVILLE, Miss. - One of the most recognizable buildings at Northeast Mississippi Community College has received several facelifts during its 75th year of existence.
The most notable renovation for those coming into legendary Bonner Arnold Coliseum has been brand-new permanent stadium-style seats in both the east and west grandstands.
The padded seats are beige in color and prominently showcase the "NE" logo on the back support. They replace aged chairbacks that were donated to Northeast by the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) from Tad Smith Coliseum.
