The above photo features the part of the Coliseum Complex that leads to the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) Hall of Champions. The Hall of Champions opened March 2, 2011. It is hard to believe that it has been in Greensboro almost six years. The display features the history of the conference as well as its long relationship to North Carolina. The ACC is an American collegiate athletic conference and it sponsors competition in twenty-five sports. In 1953, the ACC was founded in Guilford County, in Sedgefield. If you like college athletics and are local, you owe it to yourself to spend some time at this facility.
In the above photo, a dad explains some sports concepts to his small children as they listen intently. The children were so well behaved and engrossed in the conversation. Whether he was ever an ACC athlete or not, in the minds of his children, this dad is a true champion. With so much negative press these days, the scene reminds us there is good in humanity and it starts at home.
Today is ABC Wednesday and for Round 20, "C" is for "coliseum" and "champion."
I guess a place which will be visited a lot by sportsfans ;-)
Have a nice ABC-Wednesday / _ Week

What a sweet picture! This is a place I would love to visit since I graduated from an ACC school, Florida State. I also worked at FSU for 35 years before my retirement.

I like the sense of depth to this shot.

Always had mixed feelings about the ACC, being a Big East fan, but then it came and snatched up some of our old teams!
ROG, ABCW
