The Corn Palace Restaurant  The Corn Palace Restaurant located on the main concourse of the U.S. Cellular Coliseum got it's name from the original Corn Palace that stood just one block from where the current Coliseum stands today. The original Coliseum was built in 1898 and was known for the best corn festival in all of Illinois. It was decorated with corn husks, stalks and ears, earning the nickname of the Corn Palace. The building was later turned into a bowling alley and was torn down in 1961. The Corn Palace Restaurant can also be rented for your next business meeting or personal party!
