Geocache Description:

oxymoron - noun, something (as a concept) that is made up of contradictory words or elements. "Coliseum" comes from the word colossus, meaning something of gigantic size or power and "Micro" comes from the word microscopic, meaning something very small and involving minute quantities. Bring your own pencil.

Please open container right where it is

The Ceres Coliseum was built and used as a power house for trolleys from 1902-1926. In the early 30's it was used as a popular dance hall, later it became the premier rollerskating rink in this area. It was even used for auctions before falling into the state of disrepair that it now shares with it's famous namesake in Rome, Italy. Because of it's disintegrating condition, don't go near the building itself, just appreciate it's presence (while it still remains) as it "guards" the cache you seek.
