It was the home of the Michigan varsity ice hockey team from 1920 to 1973.

[1] The foundation for the original indoor rink, then called the Weinberg Coliseum, was likely poured in 1909 by local Ann Arbor contractor Fred Weinberg.

[3][4] While the facility served as the home for the team for over fifty years, the building was prohibitively small, even after a 1949 remodeling, and was eventually replaced by the Yost Ice Arena in 1973.

During its lifetime as an ice rink, the Weinberg Coliseum was home to seven National Championship teams.

After the ice was removed for the final time the Coliseum was recycled for use as a gymnasium and used by various university programs over the years but mostly by the men's and women's gymnastics teams.
