I live in Greensboro, and have attended many events at our coliseum. I'd worry about trying to host the Championship there. In addition to only having city buses, the coliseum and special events center is much smaller than the Atlanta and St. Louis Centers. I think there are only about 180,000 square feet in the special events center. Furthermore, I don't think there is a straight path from the convention center to the arena; a loading dock separates the two. Maybe Greensboro could be good for a regional championship. However, a natatorium with three pools is being built. If we see anything here, I guarantee you: Water Game!
