The coliseum needs the game to fulfill its NCAA bid eligibiltity standards for the future and they offered it to us for free. This is nothing new. There had been mention way back last fall that A&T would play one home at coliseum by the city.

There had been mention way back last fall that A&T would play one home at coliseum by the city. How can they have fell short and UNCG uses it as their home court ? That kinda makes me feel better but their so so many logistical issues? Will season ticket holders books be honored? How will the students get there? Are students free? Does A&T get a split of parking / concessions? Who is marketing this for us? ( We have no marketing director) So many questions but i will stop

All of that is discussed on the A&T athletic website, students and season ticket holders will be free after you get a ticket at the A&T ticket office

The coliseum splits nothing on concessions or parking with anyone including the ACC. Even with UNC-G they would still be one game short under the NCAA eligibility requirements thus they pick us and WSSU. A&T gets some scratch for moving it and the gate and the city makes some money because UNC-G can't draw FLIES TO THOSE GAMES IN THE BIG BARN.

Yeah but UNCG is trying to become a major player by playing the big boys and telling kids about the exposure they can receive. We will see how it works. As for this coliseum mess, I just am not feeling this one. I feel like A&T could do more to draw this at home.

And we are making it easier for kids to choose the other Greensboro Div1 team with our current play!

if administration wants an electric atmosphere in the coliseum... they had better invite the cheerleaders & pep band from su...
man... that "get up" intro during the opening warmups.. with their cheerleaders dancing at half court behind our lay-up line is off the chain...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!... bringing that type of excitement & enthusiasm into the coliseum would really rock the joint...!!!!!!!!!!!
plus this game is always more exciting when each team has even amount of fans...
50/50 fans... each team has its own cheerleaders & pep band... what a festive building it will be...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the coliseum is big enough to handle this... the atmosphere would be like when we play su in football...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the battle for I-40... IS ONNNNNNNNNNN...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
