The Greensboro Complex is a versatile multi-building facility that serves the community of Greensboro and its surrounding areas.
It hosts a wide array of events, such as athletic competitions, cultural arts showcases, concerts, theater performances, educational activities, fairs, exhibits, as well as public and private gatherings, including conventions, convocations, trade shows, and consumer shows. It plays a crucial role as a hub of community activities and significantly contributes to the regional economy.
The Complex is made up of nine venues, the largest being the renowned 22,000-seat First Horizon Coliseum, which has a storied history of hosting prestigious ACC and NCAA basketball championships, and a concert history featuring legendary artists like Paul McCartney, Garth Brooks, and Elvis Presley, as well as today’s biggest artists like Drake, Bad Bunny, and Taylor Swift.
The Complex also includes the 167,000-square foot Special Events Center, encompassing three exhibition halls, a 4,500-seat mini-arena, and eight meeting rooms. Additionally, there's White Oak Amphitheatre, Piedmont Hall, the Novant Health Fieldhouse, Greensboro Aquatic Center, The Terrace, ACC Hall of Champions, and the 300-seat Odeon Theatre.
As one of the most actively booked facilities in the country, the Greensboro Complex annually hosts over 1,100 events. Its extraordinary flexibility and reputation have earned it worldwide acclaim among promoters, producers, event planners, and patrons alike.

23,642 Phish-Heads took over the Coliseum on March 1, 2003 and broke the all-time concert attendance record previously held by the Backstreet Boys. The night of jams concluded with "Proud Mary" - a song that has only been played in full twice in the band's history - the other being at their first show ever in 1983.
22,450 Fangirls (and Fanboys) screamed their way into Greensboro Coliseum on February 20, 2000 to see the iconic boy band on a legendary world tour that was, at the time, the fastest grossing tour of all time. The show sold out as soon as it went on sale, as did the entire tour.
22,300 Partiers gathered on New Year's Eve 2018 for Bassnectar's NYE360 and rang in 2019 with an EDM concert complete with laser light show and a stage setup like nothing Greensboro Coliseum had ever seen before.
