As the date of the free Daughtry Concert approaches, I have new information regarding the event scheduled for Friday, March 23 in downtown Greensboro.

What can I bring?  The city says to treat this event just like any other event held at the Greensboro Coliseum, except it will be held downtown.  Coolers, lawn chairs, video cameras,  food and beverages will not be permitted.  Concessions and beer will be sold.

Where do I park?  Parking is available in downtown Greensboro's several parking lots. Here is a link:   www.downtowngreensboro.net/parking.html

Overflow parking will also be available but shuttles will not be offered.  College students are encouraged to ride PART buses to the event.

What is the plan if it rains?  According to Chief Meteorologist Van Denton, the forecast for March 23rd looks promising.  The outlook is partly cloudy and a bit warm for the daytime.  In the evening, expect temperatures in the 50-60 degree range.  Keep in mind this forecast could change (I am writing this on 3/14).  

What about security?  45 police officers are assigned to the event with an additional 20 on standby.  In addition, the Greensboro Coliseum is providing 50 security guards.

When does the event begin?  Gates open at 7pm. 

Where is the stage?  Here is a link to a map of the block party:

Elm Street from Smothers Place to Washington Street will close at 4pm on March 23.  Cars parked in that section of the street will be towed, if they are not moved by the closing time.

Keep it tuned to FOX 8 as we will continue to update you on additional Daughtry concert information.

I hope to see you there!
