Name That Site 7

It's been a long time, so get ready for your favorite (I'm sure) recurring feature of Dave Sez - Name That Site! Below you'll find a Google Earth pic of some famous ACC landmark. It might be a building on campus or simply a place where some significant ACC history has taken place.


So, what's this (click for a larger view)?
Name That Site 7

If you think you know the answer (give me the place and its significance), leave it in the Comments.

If you liked that one (or thought it was too easy), go back to one of the previous contests (one, two, three, four, five, six) and have a guess at those. Since I lost all of my comments last spring, those contests were wiped clean. You can look like a genius!

The name of the venue is included in the link. And right after the Childress post too.

Ah, and the significance is that it is the site of the Randolph Childress invitational basketball tourney. I think they do it every year. And for a bit of a change up, this year... VT could be the favorite team. They're pretty good, you know.

P.S. For those who didn't know, Childress used to play at WAKE FOREST. I know, I know, you thought it was a football school. Heh, well, they used to play some roundball too. Also, Virginia Tech used to be a football school. Isn't it amazing?!?!

Yep. I didn't think that would take too long.

Actually, that wasn't the event I was thinking of, although that's obviously a good one. The Coliseum has hosted a ton of ACC Tournaments.

I was thinking of an even more significant event than an ACC Tournament though (hard as that is to believe).

Site of the 1974 Final Four, with NCSU winning it all due to having the greatest college basketball player ever, David Thompson.
