"Minneapolis will host the Big Ten women's basketball tournament in 2023 and both the men's and women's tournaments in 2024. All three events will take place at the Target Center, site of the women's Final Four earlier this month. In 2019, Minneapolis hosted the men's Final Four at U.S. Bank Stadium.
"This is a huge opportunity for our Big Ten footprint, our fan base, not only in Minneapolis but the state of Minnesota, and nationally and regionally," Diana Sabau, the Big Ten's deputy commissioner and chief sports officer, told ESPN. "Minneapolis is coming off of hosting the women's Final Four this year. They hosted a recent men's Final Four, and they just have a tremendous basketball mentality in the city with their two professional teams. So we're really excited to bring that to a new location and to give other Big Ten cities the opportunity to host our marquee events."..
