Jose "Buga" Abreu Coliseum (Spanish: Coliseo Jose "Buga" Abreu Méndez) is a sports arena that is located in Isabela, Puerto Rico that seats 5,000 for basketball & volleyball games. The home of the Isabela Bantams (Spanish: Gallitos de Isabela) men's basketball team and the Isabela Pullets (Spanish: Pollitas de Isabela) women's basketball team. The Coliseum was the venue for the Taekwwondo events for the 2010 Central American and Caribbean Games.[1]

The coliseum was named after a basketball player, Jose "Buga" Abreu Méndez, who died in a car accident after a Bantams away game during a BSN season in the 1990s.

The original Jose Abreu Coliseum was opened in 1996 and demolished in 2018; the new one was reconstructed and refurnished in 2022, following damage from Hurricane Maria in 2017.[2]
