I just now read in today’s N&R lead editorial about City Councilman Mike Barber’s idea to sell naming rights to the Greensboro Coliseum and invest the money in the Lee Street corridor. I realize selling coliseum naming rightsis an idea that’s been around forever, but it’s one that can’t receive enough attention. I find it odd the idea received no attention in stories on the corridor in the N&R and the Rhino. The way I see it, a colisuem operating at a profit would be a major part of any serious revitalization effort.
