    Upcoming NCAA 1st/2nd/3rd Rd and Region Sites

    2012:
    Omaha, Louisville, Columbus, Nashville, Greensboro, Pittsburgh, Portland, Albuquerque
    Regionals: Boston, Atlanta, Phoenix, St. Louis

    2013:
    Kansas City, Auburn Hills (Detroit), Dayton, Lexington, Philadelphia, San Jose, Salt Lake City, Austin
    Regionals:LA, Atlanta, Indianapolis, Arlington

    It seems like 4 each year are within driving distance for the 1st/2nd/3rd rounds, while only 1 of the 4 regionals is within driving distance. I'd love to see UNI make the NCAA's next year, and go through Omaha and St. Louis!
    The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.

    That's 3 regionals in Domes in 2013. Might just be me, but I think only the Final Four should be played in a massive cave-like football stadium...

        At least for the regionals, they tend to do an "end-zone" type setup. Like what we saw in St. Louis last year. That's much better for viewing than putting it in the middle of the football field on a platform like they've been doing for the final four the past couple of years.

        There really can't be a good seat in that kind of set up at all.

          Unfortunately,.I have read in multiple places that JerryWorld and Lucas Oil in Indy can only be set up in the floor in the middle style. I would imagine the Georgia Dome will be the same way as they prep for the Final Four in 2014...

            Yeah, that middle of the court set-up is ridiculous. There could not have been a good seat in that place last night. And I bet every one of those tickets was $150 +

              There has been a significant increase in the number of hotel rooms in the Waterloo-CF area recently. Do you think it would be worth the administration looking into hosting NCAA 1st/2nd/3rd Round games in the Dome?

                I think that the quality of the venues has been upped significantly in the last several years, and I don't think the Dome is up to that standard anymore.

                But who knows. I know Syracuse and Boise have hosted in the last couple years, and those are not the greatest venues.

                  I still don't think the Cedar Valley is big enough to host that. Wishful thinking. A women's 1st & 2nd round perhaps, but that might be pushing it.

                    Probably correct. Volleyball might be another option though... Several teams with very strong fan followings are within driving distance to Cedar Falls.

                      Including the home team.

                        Imagine a UNI-Iowa State-Nebraska-Minnesota Regional in the UNI-Dome. That would be something to behold.

                          Minnesota and Nebraska host on a year basis, and we seem to host if we put in for it. Putting all four of these schools together would hurt revenue because all four of them can draw big crowds hosting.

                              I really wish that Des Moines would get an opportunity to host the tourney.
