Behind the Build at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum
Supporting a Custom Arena Truss Grid

Complex arena projects don’t come together through one company alone. They rely on multiple external teams, each bringing specific expertise to the table. At the Mississippi Coast Coliseum, a custom arena truss grid system was delivered through that kind of collaboration. Conder Truss leading the installation as part of a broader, coordinated effort.

The Challenge
The venue required a truss grid system capable of supporting significant loads while remaining adaptable for a wide range of events.
The system also needed to integrate seamlessly into an existing arena structure, all while coordinating schedules, access, and safety requirements across multiple external teams.
Installation & Coordination
Conder Truss was responsible for installing the arena truss grid system, working within the constraints of a live venue environment. This required precise execution, careful sequencing, and close coordination with other external partners involved in the project to ensure everything aligned structurally and operationally.
Why Collaboration Matters
Projects like this succeed when roles are clearly defined and teams communicate effectively. Installation expertise, engineering intent, and venue operations all have to work together. When they do, the result is a system that performs reliably and supports long-term use without unnecessary complexity.
Conclusion
The Mississippi Coast Coliseum truss grid is a strong example of what’s possible when experienced teams collaborate toward a shared goal. With Conder Truss handling installation and multiple external partners contributing, the project delivered a durable, flexible solution built to serve the venue for years.
