per the STrib:

The NCAA announced the city is a finalist for the 2017-2020 men’s Final Four. Along with Minneapolis, Atlanta, Indianapolis, New Orleans, North Texas, Phoenix/Glendale, San Antonio and St. Louis are among the eight finalists. Each city will make in-person presentations during the NCAA’s fall meetings with the winning bids to be announced in November.

Go Gophers!!
 

Glad to hear it. That means if they get it Minneapolis will have a 1st/2nd round or regional semis/finals sometime before the Final Four, probably the previous year. Perhaps maybe 2 different years.
 

Hopefully both Minneapolis and Phoenix/Glendale can get the final four. Would love to see the Final 4.
 

Bring it on, so that Arizona and Minnesota will be in Final Four in both vendettas. I will go to Phoenix for a Final Four and my daughter from Phoenix will come here for a Final Four. Alas, I dream.
 



Officials also making a bid for a Super Bowl.

Hope we hear something soon about a bid for the NCAA Football Championship Game and The Big Ten Championship game.

As much as I dislike the funding mech for the new stadium I think it will be a tremendous venue.
 

Anyone know how/if they distribute tickets to the host school for a Final Four? As a season ticketholder, I have always been able to get tickets when the U has hosted the first or second weekend of the tournament. I still had student tickets back in '92 and I got tickets for the 2001 Final Four from another source, not the U. I am sure I would have tried to get tickets if I had that option, but I can't remember what happened.

Won't be easy to get tickets through our office and if you do, they will be so far away you will barely know you're at a basketball game. Regional tickets have always been easy and decent if a little pricey. The one Final Four I remember I don't even recall getting an application for tickets through the ticket office.
