I've been attending events at the Greensboro Coliseum for decades, but not at all in the last few years. I was glad to go and see Alabama and Charlie Daniels earlier this month. This was a capacity crowd, and the coliseum suggested early arrival and opened the parking lot quite early. Parking was $20, and I was initially surprised. The walk into the event was simple, plenty of space to walk amongst the crowd. Security staff checked bags and had metal detectors, both great ideas. There was almost no delay getting through security or ticket checking. We passed the vendors and were directed to our seats by one of many ushers, who manage the enormous crowd quite skillfully. The show was great, and afterwards, we returned to the car to wait for the traffic to thin. There were people who seemed to have trouble locating their cars, and staff was ready to help. Then, Greensboro Coliseum had a special traffic pattern to effectively and efficiently move thousands of people away from the venue. It was remarkable. This was when I understood the parking fee. The event staff and management have big events down to a precise science. Looking forward to the next bucket list artist right here at the Greensboro Coliseum.
