First Horizon Coliseum (formerly Greensboro Coliseum) is an arena in Greensboro, North Carolina. Opened in 1959 as the first building of the Greensboro Complex, the 22,000-seat arena is the home arena of the UNC Greensboro Spartans basketball team, and will serve as home arena of the Greensboro Gargoyles of the ECHL.
It has a history in hosting college basketball games, having been a recurring host of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) basketball tournaments, and early-round games in the NCAA tournament. As it was the largest arena in the state for a period, the Coliseum previously hosted a number of neutral site games involving North Carolina's teams; Wake Forest regularly played marquee and ACC games at the Coliseum from 1959 to 1989.
