Call me crazy, but i really want to see this.
I lived in downtown New Haven Aug. 2005 to Sept. 2006. The coliseum was directly across from my building and parking garage. It was a constant sad reminder of what it once was. When I first moved in last fall, the implosion was scheduled for October, then it was moved to the summer and then to this winter. For the last year, it has stood as a dying dinosaur.
One night, my roommate, a friend, and I ventured in a jeep and traveled underneath the structure. There are a series of tunnels that loop around the downtown area. Very interesting and cool.
For me, I\'ll always have a soft spot for the coliseum and all the family fun events i attended there with my grandfather: circus, nighthawks hockey....but in the end, I think it will be exciting (yet melancholy) to see it come down.
