A little vintage footage from 1974. The NCAA Final Four championship game at the Greensboro Coliseum. Greensboro had just recently expanded the coliseum to 15,000 seat at the time. (In 1974 a 15,000 seat arena was considered big) It was the first time the Final Four was held in North Carolina. The state wouldn't see another Final Four until 1994 in Charlotte. However in 1998 Greensboro hosted the East Regional games which was one of the final venues before the Final Four. The city has also been the site of a number of 1st and 2nd round games. Because the Final Four is now being held in domed 70,000 seat stadiums, North Carolina will probably never host it again unless at some point in the future the Carolina Panthers get a new stadium with a retractable roof. I can see the Panthers trying to build one in about 15 to 20 years when BofA Stadium will clearly be outdated. Believe me if the city had the money they would demolish it today and replace it with a retractable roof stadium.
