Great complex...would only reccomend getting there extra early because of traffic to park.
the event was good, as expected. see below. I bought my seats the day they went on sale. I reviewed where my seats were located online. The online view of the seats was VERY misleading. Although my seats when viewed online looked like they were in the endzone, it did not indiacte that they were way in the corner with no elevation so we had to crane our necks plus lean forward out of our seats to look past the other people that were also in the corner, the entire game. I would have been much better off in the cheapo seats.
Got off of Interstate 40 an hour and a half before the game started, then remained stuck in traffic until the first half of the ballgame was over!!! Coliseum staff had blocked off most of the parking lots and traffic control was horrible. Had to listen to the first half of the game on the radio as we CREEPED by the Greensboro Coliseum to find parking. The ONLY saving grace was seeing Coach K pass Dean Smith on the all-time win list. Did get to see the second half, and it was GREAT. Then after the game, was stuck in pedestrian traffic INSIDE the Coliseum for over 30 minutes, as the staff refused to open some of the exit doors to leave?? Go figure? What I saw of the game was amazing, but the traffic control plan, and overall direction of the Greensboro Coliseum was HORRIBLE!!! I would go to an event at the RBC Center in Raleigh a hundred times faster than I would Greensboro. It was definately my LAST time going to the Greensboro Coliseum.
Close to home. Everyone was friendly. Good night out with the family.
It was one of the most enjoyable events I've attended in some time.
Ummm....... I only got to see Mike Krzyzewski pass dean smith in all time wins!! Best ball game of my life so far!!!
A once in a lifetime event that we will not soon forget! Absolutely thrilled we could get tickets & hope to be able to see the next milestone in this great man's career!
Congrats to Coach K for 880 wins. Coach Knight is in sight for this year.
What an amazing experience to actually witness Coach K beat Dean Smith's win record!
Traffic was handled beautifully. It was easy to find our seats. Not impressed with food offerings though. Game was great, with a big enthusiastic crowd. Wonderful cheerleaders!
The game was a memorable one. Coach k got 880. Didn't like that the only tickets that weed offered to me were ones in a section that was under construction. But at least the coliseum moved us to decent seats
This was an amazing game- a great way to see the blue devils play!
The Duke and UNCG game was pretty good actually, but the venue was terrible. It took literally an hour to park in the "overflow lot" with lots of police doing nothing to direct traffic. We missed half of the first half of play. Then to leave the stadium after the game, we stood in a huge crowd some 25 mins as 10,000 people walked down exactly 2 5-foot wide stairwells. The emergency exits seemed much more viable, but were blocked by staff and police. This was nothing short than a major fire hazard waiting to happen. Tempers were flaring. I will never go back to this coliseum again.
Of course the game was great, but wanted to say that the venue was too. Didn't appear to be any bad seats and getting in and out was very easy with ample parking nearby.
worst parking and execution of an event i have ever seen. missed entire first half due to lack of parking and staff
Had a great time! Had not be to the Coliseum in years but rediscovered what a great venue it is...there is no bad seat in the place! The game was a victory for Duke...of course! Accessing my tickets online was easy...thanks Ticketmaster!
Was an ok time. Was late getting into the game because the road was a parking lot. Poor job of traffic control!
As a life-long Duke fan, I ordered my tickets well in advance of knowing that Coach K would earn his 880th win as a head coach. Our seats were in the second row of the Upper Deck in Section 228 and the view was incredible.
I loved watching the game I just wish our seats were closer to the court.
The game was great and we had good seats!! Would definitely go again!!
