    It strikes me that this image has a ton of inappropriate tags attached to it, especially "1968 Democratic Convention Protests" and a slew of sports teams.

    Hi, I'm an admin for a group called RNC in St Paul, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

    The Coliseum was located on Wabash Avenue between 14th and 16th Streets. It was the second Coliseum, and was built by Charles Gunther (candy factory owner) in 1899. Gunther had an entire Civil War prison (Libby Prison) dismantled and shipped by railroad car to Chicago to build the Coliseum. Today there is a park on the corner of Wabash and 14th called "Coliseum Park". The slabs in the park are parts of the original structure.
