In March, Greensboro whores itself out as colleges not local to Greensboro come to town for games that for the most part are better viewed on television than in person.
In an effort to make it appear that this is a community event and not the eqivalent of drunks on a party weekend at the Mustang Ranch, they have created this contest call MAYOR OF TOURNAMENT TOWN, they are hoping to localize this use of our abandoned coliseum facility on Lee Street. Only catch is that they want to to purchase tickets to the ACC Women's Tournament ($18) to enter. (Way down in the fine print, you can enter by visiting the offices of the coliseum without purchasing tickets.)
So for our tax dollars of $2 Million, it MAY be possible for one tax payer to experience the only event held at the coliseum that most taxpayers would enjoy having access. However, the contest is open to all who purchase tickets to the women's tournament, so the possiblity that the winner will be from Greensboro is small.
