Currently known as Visions Veterans Memorial Arena (2025) and formerly known as the Broome County Veterans Memorial Arena (1973-2014) and Floyd L. Maines Veterans Memorial Arena (2014-2021).
Some sources note the venue name as Broome County Coliseum, research reveals the venue was never known by that name and it is incorrect. However, the surrounding concerts were scheduled at venues with coliseum in their name – the Veterans Memorial Coliseum in New Haven, Connecticut (12 May) and the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, New York (15 May) so the citation of “Broome County Coliseum” for this event was likely a simple carryover error or the actual venue name could not be discovered.
