The José Miguel Agrelot Coliseum of Puerto Rico (Template:Lang-es) is the biggest indoor arena in Puerto Rico dedicated to entertainment. It is located at the Golden Mile of San Juan, the island capital. It is usually referred by Puerto Ricans as the Choliseo, which is a portmanteau of the words "Coliseo" and "Cholito", in reference to Don Cholito, one of José Miguel Agrelot's characters and Agrelot's own adopted nickname.

The following is a list of noteworthy public events that have taken place at the venue since its opening.
