New Haven Coliseum before demolition, viewed over downtown rooftops. By demolition morning, the arena had already been dismantled; the elevated garage remained. This is not the Coliseum's complete original appearance.
Evidence, credit & reuse: Original description and EXIF date agree; record explicitly warns that arena was previously deconstructed. Structure remains standing; distinguish from the following collapse frames. Display copy optimized for the web with proportional resizing and compression. The linked repository identifies the original image. Reuse: open_license: Commons explicitly offers CC BY-SA 3.0 in addition to GFDL.
