At the time of its construction in 1937, the Parker Coliseum was six feet larger than Madison Square Garden. While most of its time since has been spent hosting basketball teams and horse shows, this coliseum has also hosted three prestigious film dramas: Glory Road (2006), Dallas Buyers Club (2013), and The Iron Claw (2023).
