Naomi R. Lane Review of Greensboro Coliseum Ticket and...

Parking is always expensive at an event venue like this, but I was surprised to see how quickly traffic was directed and they moved the traffic through for such a big event! The parking lot is well lit and I felt safe at such a big event as there was plenty of GSO police dept. outside and security staff and metal detectors inside as well as security checking personal belongings brought into the venue (they checked my purse, as well as everyone else's). The line for this process went quickly as there were multiple designations for this based on your tickect/seat location. Every staff member we encountered had one specific job to do, so things went methodically and quickly, especially considering there were so very many people (near, if not sold out concert) in one location. The only negative I can say about this experience and venue is that the bathrooms are old/out dated and not well kept! The soap and paper towel dispensers didn't work well, however there were more than enough stalls for everyone and there wasn't a wait to use the restroom. I understand how incredibly expensive it would be to update one restroom with that many stalls and sinks, much less the entire venue's restrooms, but I hope they'll find the funds to do so soon!
The arena has a huge monitor/screen to see the show up close from any seat, so though we had pretty good seats, there's really not a "bad" seat in the house. I will say that it's I've never cared for the layout of this arena. The event stage at this Coliseum, unless your sitting opposite of the stage, depending on your side of the arena, you're looking left or right the whole time, unlike most larger venues where everyone is looking straight forward and it's not in an arena layout, but the stage is in front and the seats are all in rows front to back.
The @PaulSimon #FarewellTour concert was EXCELLENT, he and his band are so so incredibly talented; it was an event I'll always remember! This guy is unbelievable when it comes to anything musical, they don't make music like he does anymore! He is what you can call a true artist, something completely different from what so-called artists/musicians are these days! Paul Simon still to this day sounded exactly the same as what I always heard on his albums - nothing fake, nothing autotuned!
