Howard Coliseum, completed in 1974, is a multi-purpose facility which can seat approximately 2,800.  Home of the Ranger and Lady Ranger basketball teams, the Coliseum also houses athletic department offices, the Northwest Sports Hall of Fame room, dressing rooms, training room and equipment room. As part of the 1979 Homecoming celebration, the coliseum was dedicated to Willie Abbay Howard, a member of the college’s Board of Trustees from 1948 to 1977.

A renovation project was completed in 1998. Current renovations will give Howard Coliseum a dedicated seating section for the disabled in addition to new hand railings on the stairs in all seating sections.
