Corteva Coliseum (originally Indiana State Fairgrounds Coliseum and formerly Pepsi Coliseum, Fairgrounds Coliseum, and Indiana Farmers Coliseum) is an indoor multi-use arena, located on the Indiana State Fairgrounds in Indianapolis, Indiana.
On October 31, 1963, during a Holiday on Ice show, a propane leak at a concession stand caused an explosion which killed 74 people. A memorial plaque was dedicated 40 years later in the building, but it has since been removed. Another plaque honoring the explosion victims currently hangs inside the building's entrance.
