Don’t just take our word for it, hear what these planners had to say.
“As a Greensboro native, I am proud of “Tournnament Town” and I am thrilled to help bring those events and their economic impact “home”. Each time we come to the Coliseum, we honestly feel as if their staff are welcoming us to their home. I often tell the staff that you can put a great facility anywhere but you cannot find amazing staff anywhere! As an officer with the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) and a longtime event host, I absolutely endorse Greensboro, North Carolina and Visit Greensboro, your choice for event operations and support.”
