    I attended the Mary J. Blige concert at the Greensboro Coliseum/First Horizon with a VIP Meet & Greet package that included meeting Ne-Yo, taking a picture with him, and seeing performances by Mario and Mary J. Blige. Unfortunately, the experience was a complete disaster from start to finish. Disorganized & Unprofessional VIP Experience From the moment we arrived, chaos ensued. We received an excessive number of emails leading up to the event, yet none provided a clear itinerary. We were told to arrive at 4:00 PM, but we weren't allowed in until well after 5:00 PM. VIP guests were forced to walk around the massive coliseum aimlessly in the cold, as staff provided conflicting directions. For those wearing heels, this was especially frustrating. I was fortunate to have worn flats, but the lack of organization was unacceptable. Once inside, things didn't improve. The Greensboro Coliseum staff was unprofessional and completely unprepared. They struggled to scan tickets, leaving us standing around clueless. The Meet & Greet, which was supposed to start around 4:30-4:45 PM, didn't happen until after 6:00 PM. And when it finally did, it was rushed and impersonal. The Performances The only highlight of the night was Ne-Yo, he was professional, kind, and put on an incredible show. His energy and stage presence were unmatched, and he treated the audience with respect and appreciation. Mario and Mary J. Blige, on the other hand, were a disappointment. * Mary J. Blige's performance was lackluster at best. After we waited over an hour for her set to be prepared, she only performed for about an hour and ten minutes. * She barely danced, her backup dancers put in more effort than she did. * She spent an excessive amount of time backstage changing outfits, and when she did appear, she often lip-synced or relied on the audience to sing her songs. * The overall energy of her performance was lazy and uninspired. She didn't engage with the crowd the way a true headliner should. * She looked tired and unprepared, and her red wig was awful, cheap-looking and unflattering. * To make matters worse, she skipped her newer songs and failed to deliver the powerhouse performance fans expected. Overall Verdict This was my second time seeing Mary J. Blige live, and it will absolutely be my last. It was a waste of money, time, and energy. I feel completely scammed by this so-called "VIP" experience. The only saving grace of the night was Ne-Yo, who actually delivered. I strongly do not recommend spending your money on Mary J. Blige's tour. If she can't give a solid performance at her first stop, she certainly isn't worth the price tag anywhere else. Save your money. Ne-Yo was the only real talent that night.

    I've attended both a food sampling event and a concert here. In terms of the concert, It's a small venue and the seats are comfortable. I was in the extremely high-up seats (second to last row) and still had a great view. I'd caution those afraid of heights from sitting up there though. It was quite steep. The acoustics weren't perfect. It seemed like they amped up the volume for one of the openers and the main act to compensate. However, the venue was well staffed and I was able to enjoy the concert without any issues. Drinks and parking were pricey, but that's to be expected. The food sampling event was in one of their large event spaces. The event went pretty well. The lines were backed up because they oversold access, but that wasn't the venue's fault. Overall, this venue is solid, but has room for improvement.

    First time attending a concert at Piedmont Hall. Overall it was a good experience, though they were about 30 minutes late to open the doors. The venue was much bigger than I had expected and one of the security guards told me its capacity is 3000 people. Biggest complaint is their over inflated prices on beer ($13) and even ($4) for water. You'll definitely want to do some pre gaming before going in. The space itself is nice, but be prepared to stand, seating is VIP only. I'd go back to see another show here if the right band comes through

    We came here for the first time recently. The facility was easy to get in and out of. It was also clean and easy to navigate. Why 2 star deductions? 1. When paying, some of the people told us to be sure and give them a tip. Seriously? This was a two-star defuction. 2. Generally, when going from a hall area around the perimeter to the seats, it's just a big hallway. Here, we had to funnel into a small set of 90-degree turns big enough for just one, two pdeduction. One star deduction.

    I've been many times over the years but first NCAA Basketball during the tournament. It's a very nice venue, so the current three star composite surprises me. Surface parking is plentiful and I do mean PLENTIFUL!!! So easy in and not bad even departing. No debris in sight. The interior is first class and I enjoyed Xavier vS Kennesaw. Would return in a heartbeat.

    Greensboro Coliseum complex The Greensboro Coliseum Complex, commonly referred to as Greensboro Coliseum, is the largest entertainment and sports complex located in Greensboro, North Carolina Chicken Tenders and Drinks ($20): Chicken Tenders were okay and bland, nothing fancy. Drink cup size was large but you get unlimited refills. Parking/ Location: Parking was easy and direction were clear. The crowd and logistics was well managed. Ambience and Service: This is largest indoor sports complex in United States. We were at top row, and it felt amazing, see the pictures.

    Honestly, that might have been my last time going to this coliseum, this was a horrible experience. Traffic was so bad we sat in traffic to park for 2 hours to get all the way to the front for them to say parking was full. We missed 4 acts waiting on parking. They had no secure place for our umbrellas so they were stolen after the show. The seats were uncomfortable. I would rather just go to Raleigh or Charlotte instead. Greensboro is not able to handle the crowd.

    This coliseum cannot accommodate big crowds. We were in line for parking almost 2 hours and eventually got out of line to park in a neighborhood. We missed four acts during the Katt Williams show. If we had stayed in line any longer, we would ve missed the show as a whole. The seating was so uncomfortable and tight. Never again Greensboro. This is why big artists don't come here- this venue cannot accommodate the crowd it brings. l'd rather travel to Raleigh or Charlotte.

    I cannot even begin to express to you HOW BAD this experience was. I drove from RVA to see sleep token and purchased these tickets back in March. 6 months before the event even happened. There was not a single staff member directing people to which line is which. There was the merch line, beer line and GA line. I stood in the merch line for 25 minutes ( not wanting merch) because it was so snaked around the main gate area that it seemed like that would be the place to line up for gate entrance... WRONG. It was for merch. Keep in mind I was here at 4:30 way before gates even were supposed to open. By the time i realized that I was in the wrong line the once shorter line was now wrapped around the entire aquatics center of the facility. I am also disabled with a horrible back disease and the gate opening time was pushed back by an hour and a half... standing for 2 planned hours is very hard on me let alone an additional 4. I did not complain once while having to wait but I am incredibly disappointed in how this was handled. And the fact that my favorite song didn't even get to be sang because of this delay with getting people inside for the concert. Inside was also INCREDIBLY dangerous with how steep the seats are not to mention the flashing lights while also trying to get to your seats because the opener was already almost done by the time we finally got in. I have been to MANY concerts in my life around the country and this was the worst event center I've been to. This rating is 100% for the center and NOT the band. The band was incredible. I definitely won't be returning to this event center for any future events. My first and my last. Get your Sh*t together!! If I could give a negative rating I would.

    Piedmont Hall is much smoother and better venue than the main coliseum. I do recommend going early for decent parking. Also call in advance and reserve ADA seating or you'll have to sit behind everyone with a reserved seat. I'm convinced that people reserve the entire row because it's elevated even when they have no physical limitations. All seats in the front were reserved with the same name and only three people showed. The people in the front were standing and dancing and then they would go to the mosh pit and surf. Doubtful they truly needed the seating except it's a prime location now that the reserved VIP lounge area doesn't have chairs. Apparently someone threw a chair so the VIP area is standing only and you have a side view whereas the ADA is elevated in the center. They're on both sides of the sound station. They do sell food; pizza, hot dogs, and wings. Friendly staff and super clean venue. Cleanest bathroom I've been in. It's got a great sound system as well.

    The Concert was so nice. I amazed myself, I knew songs from all of the groups, who were awesome. To see Ron Isley and his brother Ernest on stage really made my night.. The comedian/MC was great as well, he kept us fully entertained between sets. I will have to get back to this post, I cannot find all of the pictures.

    Older building that can use some renovations. Parking wasn't so bad if you get there soon as the gates open, if not you could be in for a long walk. The bathrooms near my seating area was a bit run down. First stall I went in didn't have a lock so I tried another just for it to literally not have a tissue holder, so had to try another one. No paper town dispenser just like two dryers and when it's crowded definitely need more options. And it was a bit cramped trying to get in and out. Seats were comfy though so that's a plus.

The downstairs area is the main music hall, with a legit stage, a large bar, and plenty of open room. The second level features a cocktail and whiskey bar, along with a separate lounge style room filled with leather couches and chairs. The third and fourth levels both offer outdoor space, with the third floor having its own bar and the fourth providing additional seating and city views. It's a great mix of spaces for pretty much anyone. The music really stole the show this evening. I arrived early and snapped a few photos before the crowd rolled in. Dear Sister rocked tonight. What an excellent cover band! I'll be seeing them often whenever they roll into town. The only thing holding this from being a 5 star night was the service. It was decent but noticeably slow even before the crowd showed up. Once things got busy, it became very hard to grab a drink or get anyone's attention, which is typical for a packed place but still worth noting. Overall, this is a super fun spot with great music and tons of indoor and outdoor space to enjoy. I'll definitely be back for more live shows or to hang out with family and friends on a nice day up on the rooftop areas.

We were seated promptly and had a very attentive waitress. They had just launched their spring menu and I feel that it had a good amount of pairings and different offerings. I was excited about the drink menu, but I felt let down by my drink. It was supposed to be a apple butter old-fashioned but I didn't taste any apple. That was a bummer the food however was amazing. I got the breakfast plate with grits, eggs, Home fries, a biscuit, and catfish. The portion size was huge. It could have easily been split with two people. I was thinking it would be a full piece of catfish, but it was more like catfish nuggets. It was well seasoned and flavorful. The best thing on the plate was the grits. They were amazing. They were super creamy, seasoned, velvety, and just great-10/10. They do offer tours of the property and we didn't get one because of time, but I would definitely love to see it in its entirety. The staff was great and I would definitely come again.

Our reservation was for 10:00 AM, which was when the restaurant opened, but when we arrived, we were told they were still getting ready.

Maybe the experience would have been different on a regular day with their normal brunch menu, but the Mother's Day buffet was somewhat disappointing. On the positive side, everyone we interacted with was very friendly, and Magnolia House itself is historic. There was something special about dining in a place knowing its history and knowing that so many great artists had stayed there. Overall, it was somewhat disappointing, but I am still glad I went.

Just a typical experience but also a really good college outing memory. The matcha I had from there wasn't particularly my favorite but they used to keep their espresso machine up at night during the performance, I'm not completely sure if I remember correctly if they sold liquor or alcohol but the drink that I did have from there the first time I went was pretty good. The ambiance is pretty normal for greensboro, I feel like almost every establishment you walk in, there will be cracked floors but I just remember the staff was pretty awesome and as far as pastries, they had a pretty good variety and gluten free options and other food sensitivity options. I believe a few years ago, I recall an episode of "Catfish" where Nev and Max also visited this place so that was pretty interesting to experience that but honestly a pretty decent place.
