Host to UL Basketball games, rodeo and 4H events, Blackham Coliseum also occasionally played host to concerts as well.

From the Blackham Coliseum Wikipedia page: “In the 1960s, it became popular as a venue for pop concerts where acts like The Supremes, James Brown and Jackie Wilson. The Supremes played to soldout audiences on their ‘Symphony Tour 1965’…The venue serves as home to the Grammy-styled, annual Le Cajun Music Awards Festival held every August by the Cajun French Music Association, an association of Cajun music enthusiasts for the preservation of the Cajun music, language, heritage and culture.”
