History
The station is one of the original five stations, and opened on April 22, 1978.
Although Coliseum was never a terminus of the LRT line, all trains started and ended their runs at Coliseum when the fleet of LRT rail cars was maintained at the Cromdale garage nearby. The fleet is now housed at the D.L. MacDonald Transit Yard, which was completed in December 1983.[1]
Station layout
The station has a Script error: No such module "convert". centre loading platform that can accommodate two five-car LRT trains at the same time, with one train on each side of the platform. The platform is just under eight metres wide, which is narrow by current Edmonton LRT design guidelines.[2]

Future developments
The Coliseum station sits adjacent to Northlands exhibition lands. Plans to redevelop the lands include relocating the existing Coliseum station further north.[4] More detailed plans and public engagement are scheduled for late 2019.[4]
