LJVM Coliseum Annex

The Winston-Salem Fairgrounds Annex is a 4,000-seat multi-purpose arena in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. It was built in 1989. It was formerly home to the Winston-Salem Thunderbirds, Winston-Salem Mammoths, Winston-Salem Icehawks, Winston-Salem T-Birds, Winston-Salem Polar Twins, and Twin City Cyclones ice hockey teams. It was part of the LJVM Coliseum Complex, which used to be part of the larger Winston-Salem Sports and Entertainment Complex, and is located adjacent to the Dixie Classic Fairgrounds. It also serves as an occasional concert venue, hosting Bob Dylan on two occasions, in 1991 and 2002.

The Winston-Salem Fairgrounds Annex is now home to the Winston Wildcats, a new team in the American Indoor Football League.

Beginning in 2017, it will be home to the Carolina Thunderbirds, a minor league hockey team in the Federal Hockey League.^[1]
