March Maddness is well underway. Greensboro is hosting the 2013 ACC Championships at the Greensboro Coliseum Complex. We are also lucky to live in a state with such great basketball teams: Duke, Carolina, NC State, and Wake Forest (to name a few [in alphabetical order]). The above photo was taken yesterday, Day 1. Today, Day 2 is a big one because both Duke and the University of North Carolina are playing. Those are the the much-coveted tickets- especially the Carolina game. Tickets get more expensive as the field narrows. We can't imagine what people will actually be paying for these tickets.
If you are local, you should try to go see a game. It is so much fun to be part of the excitement. Plus, next year, the ACC Tournament is in Atlanta, GA. We will really miss what has come to feel like a backyard brawl. While our town doesn't have any professional sports teams, we make a mighty fine host when golf and basketball tournaments come to town and we are gaining a national reputation for hosting great swim meets. Let's all be good sports and do what we can to keep people using Greensboro as a tournament town!
Thanks for your nice comments back at my place!
