Jamieson Stadium is a stadium located on the campus of Grimsley High School in Greensboro, North Carolina. It opened in 1949 and was constructed largely from private funding sources. It was a dream of -- and named for -- Coach Bob Jamieson, who coached at Greensboro High (later renamed Grimsley) from 1933-1975. The first game played at the stadium was the also the first annual North Carolina Coaches Association's East-West All Star Game, started by Coach Jamieson to help fund the Association's coaching clinic. A plaque at the entrance to the stadium, erected for re-dedication ceremonies honoring Jamieson when he retired in 1975, has these words inscribed on it: "Robert B. Jamieson Stadium, named in honor of Coach Bob, whose dedication and devotion as teacher, coach, athletic director and community leader during the years 1933-75 have forever endeared him to the hearts of his players, students, and the citizens of Greensboro." Wooden bleachers were replaced with aluminum bleachers in 1989 in order to make sure it kept its status as one of the best high school football stadiums in the state. It is primarily used for American football and Soccer, and is the home field of Grimsley High School and Greensboro College. Various sources report the stadium's seating capacity between 10,000-12,000 people. The stadium is horseshoe-shaped with the field house sitting at the open end and two largely symmetrical, slightly curved grandstands with pressboxes stretching from endzone-to-endzone joined together by a grassy hill, also used as a seating area. The 6-lane running track around the field, which was longer than a standard running track, and the shot-put area beyond the southern goalpost was removed in 2013. A small section of the track straightaway behind the field house remains and is used for storage. The original field house remains intact and in apparent use but its condition is unknown. Due to its size and the lack of large outdoor performing venues in the area, the stadium has been used for community events such as the annual 4th of July Fireworks with the Greensboro Symphony Orchestra.

Greensboro ( ; local pronunciation ) is a city in and the county seat of Guilford County, North Carolina, United States. It is the 3rd most populous city in North Carolina after Charlotte and Raleigh, the 69th-most populous city in the United States, and the most populous city in the Piedmont Triad metropolitan region. At the 2020 census, its population was 299,035; at the 2022 census estimate, its population was 301,115. Three major interstate highways (Interstate 40, Interstate 85, and Interstate 73) in the Piedmont region of central North Carolina were built to intersect at this city. In 1808, Greensborough (the spelling before 1895) was planned around a central courthouse square to succeed Guilford Court House as the county seat. The county courts were thus placed closer to the county's geographical center, a location more easily reached at the time by the majority of the county's citizens, who traveled by horse or on foot.In 2003, the previous Greensboro–Winston-Salem–High Point Metropolitan Statistical Area was redefined by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget. The region was separated into the Greensboro-High Point Metropolitan Statistical Area and the Winston-Salem Metropolitan Statistical Area. The population of the Greensboro-High Point Metropolitan Statistical Area was 776,566 in 2020. The Greensboro–Winston-Salem–High Point Combined Statistical Area, commonly called the Piedmont Triad, had a population of 1,695,306 in 2020.Among Greensboro's many notable attractions, some of the most popular are the Greensboro Science Center, the International Civil Rights Museum, The Steven Tanger Center for the Performing Arts, the Weatherspoon Art Museum, the Greensboro Symphony, and the Greensboro Ballet. Annual events in the city include the North Carolina Folk Festival, First Fridays in Downtown Greensboro, Fun Fourth of July Festival, North Carolina Comedy Festival, and Winter Wonderlights. From 2015 to 2017, Greensboro hosted the National Folk Festival.The Greensboro Coliseum Complex hosts a variety of major sporting events, concerts, and other events. The main coliseum has been the site of the ACC men's basketball tournament 28 times (including the most recent tournament in 2023), more than twice the number hosted by any other site; it has hosted the ACC women's basketball tournament every year since 2000 (except for 2017). Since 2009, it has served as the home court for the UNCG Spartans NCAA Division I basketball team. The Novant Health Fieldhouse is home to the Greensboro Swarm of the NBA G League. In 2011, a major expansion of the complex added several new facilities, including the White Oak Amphitheatre, the Greensboro Aquatic Center, and the ACC Hall of Champions. Local professional teams include the Greensboro Grasshoppers of the South Atlantic Baseball League, and the semi-professional Carolina Dynamo soccer club of USL League Two. Amateur teams include Greensboro Roller Derby and college teams in four NCAA programs. The Sedgefield Country Club features a Donald Ross course and is currently host to the annual PGA Tour event Wyndham Golf Championship. In 1953, representatives from seven member institutions of the Southern Conference met at the club and decided to withdraw from the Southern Conference to form a new league, the Atlantic Coast Conference.

Phelps, replaced by Ralph Holshouser Jr., pleaded guilty and served five years. The hospital did well for a while until changes in Medicare reimbursement. Wesley Long never recovered from the combination of the scandal and new Medicare rules, with a little over half its beds occupied by 1986. Moses Cone Memorial Hospital went through significant growth, while Wesley Long administrators avoided making many of the advances necessary to attract more patients.
