Greensboro has received some welcome good news. The Atlantic Coast Conference basketball tournament will return to the Gate City in 2023.
When ACC officials canceled the last three days of the tournament in early March, it was one of the first big local signs that things were about to get very different.
Greensboro Coliseum was almost vacant when Florida State was announced as the tournament winner by virtue of winning the regular season. Soon after, mandatory shutdowns were put in place that have kept it empty.
The tournament will go to Washington and New York for the next two tourneys under plans made long before the pandemic. But now the league says the ACC showdown will return to Greensboro in 2023.
It will mark the 28th time the tournament has been played here, more than any other host city.
