caption_attribution_description: New Haven Coliseum on the morning of its planned demolition. The Coliseum itself had previously been deconstructed at this point, all that remain is the parking garage that had been above the coliseum, so the image does not show the look of the original construction. On the right is the Knight of Columbus Building in New Haven. en:Category:Photographs by User:Staxringold
