Q u o t e:
Will the coliseum be PvP related? Like team vs team arena or vehicle vs vehicle, etc...(from rumors I've heard)
No, the coliseum will not be PvP-related, at least not as far as the current plan goes, though it will be instanced. We'll have more information on this down the road.
Q u o t e:
Where is the event held? and is it on the PTR?
It's in Icecrown and currently on the PTR, though certain aspects of the tournament are still being developed for 3.1 (coliseum not included). The Argent Crusade has shuffled off some penguins previously occupying an area by the coast to begin construction of the coliseum.
Q u o t e:
I agree, it seems incredibly odd to stop the fight against the Scourge to go jousting.
It's not just the Argent Crusade. Top representatives from all of the major city factions (Ironforge, Darnassus, Orgrimmar, Undercity, etc.) are on-hand to find the most battle-hardened candidates for taking the fight to Arthas's door step. Through the tournament, and eventually through the coliseum, you'll be able to fight for the glory of the city faction of your choosing.
Tournaments and competitions like this may seem like trivial games in times of real struggle against the Scourge, but it's also an opportunity to rally those who oppose the Lich King through blood sport. ;)
