Arena Watch: Columbia Coliseum

Kirk Utterback

Since the Food Riots, Columbia has been a hardy "hick town." Between "local boys made good' and alumni of the local college's highly-rated autoduelling squad, it's not surprising that many top duellists come from this area.

The Columbia Coliseum offers no Amateur Night and only sponsors professional duelling on a first-come basis with no exceptions.
