^^^^^ Natty Greens is the shit. One just opened up off of Glenwood last night and if the Greensboro one is as good as that one, that's where I'd watch a game/eat food/drink beer.

BTW we will win this whole damn thing over Clemson->FSU->Maryland->Duke, and get a 10 seed and lose by 30 in the tourney.

^ they just expanded into raleigh, the natty greenes here is the 1st. glad to hear its good in raleigh! i'll check it out next time im over there.

also, if you like dive bars and $1 PRB, as well as pick your own hipster music and fooseball, College Hill on Spring Garden St is the place for you.

3/9/2010 12:37:22 PM

old town is a good place for lunch/dinner.

3/9/2010 12:47:13 PM

^ true, and while you're in the area, eat at YUM YUM's.

its a must.

bring cash, no cards accepted.

3/9/2010 12:48:54 PM

cheerwine is a must at YUM YUM's

I like where your head is at.

Also instead of Lowe ripping off his suit to reveal a 1983 jersey and taking to the court, how about he rips off his suit to reveal a flaming basketball tattoo full body tattoo that spurs the team onto victory?

MCouls (i think) across from Natty Greene has $3 24 oz cans. not sure what night cause it's been awhile. I think there is like 3 bars in one. again its been awhile.

"This will be my first ACC Tourney, anyone have any tips about parking, the coliseum, or places to go out and eat/drink in Greensboro?"

As a former Greensboro resident, here's my list (which looks a lot like Kevin's):

-Natty Green's (good beer and food)
-M'Coul's (stick to the beer)
-Elizabeth's Pizza
-Green Burro
-Fincastle Diner
-most places on Tate, except NYP because the food sucks and it's only good if you want cheap crappy beer and there's an ok band playing
-Old Town (on UNCG campus, next to Yum Yum's which is also good, we had all our grad school happy hours there)
-and for old timer's sake, Stamey's

Places to avoid:
-JP Looney's
-Green Street
-really any club in Greensboro. i really don't like the city outside the UNCG area and parts of Elm
-and the worst 2 places known to man...The N Club and Christy's. DO NOT RIDE ON THE CHRISTY'S BUS.

that would be the Burro...and they were out of the 24oz cans when i went there last Friday night...not sure if they are brining it back or not.

also, they started charging $3 cover after 10pm to make up for the people that dont go there anymore since they got busted by the firemarshall for the umpteenth time.

3/9/2010 3:55:20 PM

^ no. because they didnt beat them carolain the first time, they lost to WF and duke once. you wont see that at all

yeah but we only played Duke once this year, and we beat them

I agree with the rest of your point, but Duke didn't beat us this year

There's also a Pour House right off McGee St. that I like, might be a bit less crowded than the Natty Greene's area.

I went to Greene Street for New Year's in 2008. The Breakfast Club played and some drunk cougar woman kept buying us champagne all night. Honestly haven't been back since, but that was a good time. But in general, I agree. Clubs suck.

My favorite spot in Greensboro is the corner of Walker and Elam -- down where Blind Tiger, Fishbones, Filling Station, etc is. It literally just pops right up in the middle of a neighborhood area. If you're looking for a cool/unique spot to spend an evening, I'd say head there.

3/10/2010 10:11:14 AM

^you have just given me my lunch destination today. Filling Station FTW. thank you.

^^^^pour house is OK. its a lot of UFC meatheads and affliction shirts paying $1.25 to see who can punch this punching bag machine game the hardest.

you wont find many girls there.

3/10/2010 10:12:40 AM

Love some Filling Station. The one in Winston on Fourth Street is awesome too.

Another thing to love about that Walker/Elam spot is the hot dog man that shows up late-night. He'll cook you a hot dog right on the spot, and it's actually good as hell.

3/10/2010 10:15:54 AM

more love from the local media!

Just got my tickets in! section 129 row BB! Bought them for wayyy under face value, even after BS shipping and service charges!

3/10/2010 11:36:42 AM

^how much and from where?

I'm still trying to decide if I should go ahead and buy now, or try to get em on site in Gboro.

3/10/2010 11:39:06 AM

gotickets.com, fees are about 10 bucks a ticket (over 4 tickets)

they also shipped from raleigh, so maybe local pickup and reduce fees (but I couldn't find any info)

edit: looks like all of the great miami section deals have been swiped up, but seems like there are end seats for 50 that could be decent. I got mine for 30 bucks before the fees! $75 face

i bought my tickets through wolfpack club! $800! thank you wolfpack club!!!!

3/10/2010 11:52:18 AM

^I know, right. Definitely thinking about buying secondhand tickets next year.

3/10/2010 1:52:20 PM

so hypothetically if we were to win the ACC tourney, would their already be a set schedule where we knew what time all 4 of our games would be? Or would the 2nd and 3rd round games depend on what other teams won?

3/10/2010 1:55:13 PM

^? reread, I think you mean if we win the first game.

3/10/2010 2:33:53 PM

ladies and gentlemen....kevmcd86...the know all end all of Greensboro. Like there is anything to do in that hell hole anyways. Anyways we got our tickets for 23 before fees the section over from the state section. 211. I believe when you get 6 tickets together and you split the cost of the fees it is worth it. GO PACK!

3/10/2010 2:34:32 PM

^3 if you mean win the first game... they'd play at 9:20 on friday, and 3:30 on saturday

3/10/2010 2:57:22 PM

Lowe missed practice today because of flue like symptoms, hopefully he'll be good to go by tomorrow night.

3/10/2010 10:04:13 PM

im trying to find out if you can go into game 1 (12:00) and come out to the parking lot, then go back into game 2. anyone know how that works? i wanna take someone different to both games

3/11/2010 8:35:41 AM

^ I figured if anyone knew, it would be you.

Do they not let you re-enter?

3/11/2010 8:44:17 AM

i cant find the answer anywhere. i'll solve this mystery.

3/11/2010 8:54:30 AM

edit: there's barcodes on each ticket for each session, which makes me think that you won't be able to scan it again to get in if you leave. also, this helps the ACC keep people in their seats for games they may not really care about.

this is my conjecture.

3/11/2010 9:29:19 AM

No re-entry during a session.

3/11/2010 9:31:37 AM

THIS IS SUCH BULL SHIT THAT IT'S NOT ON NATIONAL TV (ESPN OR ESPN2)!!

3/11/2010 9:41:38 AM

3/11/2010 9:46:03 AM

^^ I saw an ad that said the UNC GT game is on ESPNdos... prob blacked out in Raycom's market though

3/11/2010 11:54:29 AM

the 7PM thursday game is always on espn2

Has been for years

Then all of Friday's games

Then Saturday and Sunday games on are ESPN 1

Get with the program people

3/11/2010 11:55:50 AM

Yep... was about to post the same thing.

They should start a separate Sports board for the novices and leave this one to people like us.

3/11/2010 12:04:42 PM

ESPN games are blacked out, you tards

3/11/2010 12:16:00 PM

I understand it's been like that for years..however, when the ACC expanded, we got rid of the ACC play in game b/w the bottom 2 teams in teh conference. Now that we have an expanded tournament, they should air all the games on national tv like the Big East has been doing this week, or like how the Big 10 is doing today.
