When Whalers/Canes moved from Hartford to NC their arena was 2 years from being completed. They played at the Greensboro Coliseum. Folks didn't want to drive 90 minutes west so attendance was very low. Coliseum sat 23K but barely 10K showed up. The upper part of the seating area was covered up so the seating dropped to 13K. Went to lots of games since I was working in McCleansville quite a bit. Was great atmosphere. Usually sat at the glass.
