Is it common knowledge that the Greensboro Colosseum is a dump

My brother graduated from A&T today. How in the world do they host the ACC tournament in that World War Two ahhh arena? I’m 6’0 200Lbs. Not a huge guy by any means. I was wearing my seat man.  My grandma had to take 3 breaks walking up that big ass hill, and you would expect an elevator or escalator right at the front entrance but it’s around 2 corners and hidden before another corner for some reason. The sound  in the building is also garbage. It’s literally the worst sports venue I’ve ever visited.

I haven't been in it since I saw Peal Jam play there right after I graduated HS in 2000. Fuging GREAT concert. I was too busy listening to tunes and partaking in the devil's lettuce to notice anything about the arena. LOL

Used to be THE venue in NC.  Everybody played there.

In the 90s shows shifted to the amphitheaters in Raleigh and Charlotte.  Purpose built for music, lower overhead, and part of national groups like Live Nation.  Greensboro couldn't compete and lost out on lots of money for upkeep/upgrades. 

 

It was always better for sports and specialty events but Id be hard pressed to count all of the bands Ive seen there.
