Due to its location, visitors walked onto the building's upper concourse after purchasing their tickets.

Color TVs were installed inside the concourse and a small restaurant opened for select fans in 1995.

The building remained open as a venue for medium-sized concerts and stage shows which would not be suitable for the Spectrum, as well as high school and some college sporting events, along with local attractions.

[14] Questions about the building's future would arise in the years that followed, due to its age and lack of events.

[15] Two years later, another plan was announced with developer GoodSports that would add both a hotel and sports complex next to the Coliseum.

In November 2014, the arena secured a permanent tenant once again when a third Checkers franchise, now in the American Hockey League, announced a tentative agreement with the Charlotte Regional Visitors' Authority to return to Bojangles' Coliseum for the 2015–2016 season.

Almost a year to the day when the Checkers announced their return to the Coliseum, the renovations were completed and unveiled to the public.

Aside from the new seats and score/video boards, other additions also included a sound system (replacing the one used since 1955[20]), locker rooms, a restaurant, updated concessions and repainting the interior.

Additional renovations were made in 2016, including upgraded heating/cooling, new internal lighting, and replacing the ice floor among other improvements.

[22] In 2018, the city of Charlotte broke ground on a structure to connect the Coliseum to Ovens Auditorium, which was completed in 2020.

During its days as the Charlotte Coliseum, the arena was one of the homes for the Carolina Cougars of the American Basketball Association from 1969 to 1974.

Before the third iteration of the Checkers (AHL) returned in 2015, Bojangles' was the home of minor league hockey for many years prior.

The Carolina Speed of the American Indoor Football Association, formerly playing at the Cabarrus Arena & Events Center, moved to the Coliseum in 2009.

An indoor soccer team, the Carolina Vipers, played their one and only season in the CISL in summer 1994.

All Elite Wrestling aired an episode of AEW Dynamite that was broadcast live from the venue on November 6, 2019.

It has been the site for the Spring Commencement ceremonies of Johnson C. Smith University (JCSU) for several years.

In addition, the UNC-Charlotte, Central Piedmont Community College and many local high schools have held and currently hold graduation ceremonies at the building.

The Mecklenburg County Public Health Department utilized the Coliseum complex, otherwise unused during the COVID-19 pandemic, as its primary mass vaccination site.
