Not using the POD system but the old-fashioned Sub-Regional, Regional, Final Four method, your team gets sent to what Region?

Then, where are the first two rounds of the games played?
The Sweet 16 and Elite 8 are where?
Final 4 is located?


For me, I think the trip would be to the South Region

The Selection Sunday, a Sports book in Vegas.

Thursday and Saturday Games in NOLA for the Sub-Regional. Everything is walkable, and you might as well join the rest of the morons who visit NOLA to piss in the street and act stupid. Security will be tight, so the usual shenanigans of crime and homelessness would probably be moved away from the Quarter.

Friday and Sunday in San Antonio for the Sweet 16/Elite 8. Again, this is a great trip, as the Reverwalk, food, Frost, or the Dome are all within walking distance of many major hotels. You also have the Hemis Fair area.

The Final 4 would most likely be in Indy or Kansas City, just because of the cities' tournament traditions, and both are pretty easy to navigate. While I would love for Vegas to host a Final Four, I'm just not sure it could be priced correctly, and the arenas are somewhat far from the Strip, if I remember correctly. I do not know where the Sphere, Allegiant, or T-Mobile are really located. Just have heard people say it is not near much. .

First weekend at the BJCC to cut down on travel cost since I live in Birmingham. Sweet sixteen and elite 8 in either Nashville or ATL. Slight nod to Nashville. Final four in Miami.

In all seriousness, if they could configure the superdome properly, it would be sick to have 3 games going in New Orleans at the same time. 2 in the dome and 1 in the arena. You could have 12 games played a day.

Imagine having the entire first 48 games played across the street from each other over 4 days? That'd be incredible. Set up massive fan zones around champions square and on Dave Dixon Drive.

What building in KC could hold a modern Final Four?

T-Mobile Center seats 19k and has 72 suites according to Wikipedia. Sits right next to a place called the College Basketball Experience which has some college hall of fame inside.
