Steven Tanger Center for the Performing Arts in downtown Greensboro, North Carolina is an $88 million[1] 3,023-seat performing arts facility.[2] Its first public performance was a September 2021 concert[1] which was followed by an official opening in November 2021.[3] It replaces the 2,400-seat War Memorial Auditorium in the Greensboro Coliseum Complex; the auditorium was torn down in October 2014. The Community Foundation of Greater Greensboro raised $35 million privately, to be paid over ten years. The city of Greensboro is paying $30 million. Construction was delayed a year so the foundation could get a $25 million bank loan to guarantee its contribution. The Greensboro Symphony and Guilford College's Bryan Series frequently use the facility.[4][5] The facility will also hosts Broadway productions and concerts.[6] The facility is named for Steven Tanger, CEO of Tanger Factory Outlet Centers, who pledged $7.5 million toward the project in 2013. After working for a year, a task force recommended a state of the art center in February 2013.[7] Groundbreaking was held April 26, 2017[8] and the first work took place July 13.[9]
