In today's Greensboro News and Record 3-18-2012 behind the pay wall is a article from the front page titled "ACC Showpiece isn't Bringing Fans" .
In this article this is what was written:
"The attraction sold about 7,000 mostly discounted tickets during its first year.
The writer Nancy Mclaughlin says that "no Greensboro City tax dollars were used in the project".
Well let's see what is in the current agenda with attachments for the March 20, 2012 Greensboro City Council meeting and under the reports with disbursements is a really nice nugget for the taxpayers of Greensboro.

Not even one year into the ACC Hall of Champions and there is already a renovation project going on at the Hall of Champions, this ACC Hall of Champions will go down in history as our local triad edition of Citizens Against Government Waste Porker Award.

While the City of Greensboro may not have contributed directly any "tax dollars" - money set aside for Greensboro by the state was used. Tax Dollars are Tax Dollars, regardless of their source.
The News & Record is still afraid to post their article online.
This money to renovate the hall of champions could have gone to some other endeavor at the coliseum. Am sure they will justify spending this money but to me it is a waste of taxpayers money
