Summary Dane County invites proposals from qualified teams to deliver a comprehensive renovation of the Veterans Memorial Coliseum on the 164-acre campus of the Alliant Energy Center in Madison, Wisconsin. Dane County intends to partner with a qualified team which will be responsible for designing, building, financing, operating, and maintaining the Veterans Memorial Coliseum as part of a major renovation project (collectively the Project). Qualified proposal teams will likely include, but are not limited to, the following entities: a developer(s), architect / designer, construction manager, and arena operator (collectively the Team, or Proposer), though one entity may provide multiple services outlined above. The Veterans Memorial Coliseum is a 10,320-seat arena completed in 1967 that is owned and operated by Dane County. The facility has historically hosted a wide range of events, including concerts, family shows, graduations, sporting events, and other miscellaneous arena events. However, the facility requires capital investment to re-establish its competitive position amongst regional facilities and better align with Dane County goals and objectives for its operation (discussed herein).
