First Horizon Coliseum

Greensboro, North Carolina, United States

First Horizon Coliseum concert venue in Greensboro, North Carolina

Why it matters

First Horizon Coliseum is old-school by modern arena standards. The building opened in 1959 and has spent decades hosting ACC basketball, wrestling, arena shows and major concerts, including a 2003 Phish show that set the venue’s concert attendance record.

Getting there

First Horizon Coliseum sits inside the larger Greensboro Complex west of downtown. Drive or rideshare rather than planning a walk from the city center, and check whether another event is using the grounds because the same entrances and lots serve several buildings.

Bag policy

First Horizon Coliseum's published event details and guest-services page are the final authority for bags. Concert rules can differ from sports or festival setups, so verify the current size limit and prohibited-items list before packing.

Local tips

The coliseum is part of a larger event complex west of downtown, so check whether another event is using the grounds before choosing a parking entrance. This is not a walk-from-downtown room; drive, rideshare or arrange your pickup point before the crowd empties into the same complex roads.
