The long-awaited re-opening of Cebu Coliseum finally took place on the first Saturday of September. Now under the stewardship of lawyer/entrepreneur/educator Augusto W. Go, the facility has been fully renovated and refurbished as a fitting Cebu historic landmark. He shared that his primary purpose in upgrading the place is to bring to reality his vision of an accessible, affordable and comfortable venue for sports, cultural, musical and other events. With everything in place (thanks to architect Maxwell Espina and contractor Danny Tan), the civic-minded Atty. Gus Go has attained his objective.
The new Cebu Coliseum is fully airconditioned and seats from 5,000 to 7,000 depending on the event. Among its features are the Canadian maple wood flooring and upgraded rings for the basketball court as well as a four-sided scoreboard and LED Jumbotron.
Present at the blessing and inauguration were representatives from Department of Education, Cebu Schools Athletic Foundation Inc. officials, mentors and students of the Go-owned University of Cebu and special guests.
