The Valley had natural advantages to winning bids for its first two Final Fours. The competition for another one will be more intense.
When an organizing committee from the Valley bid for the men’s Final Four eight years ago, two important factors were in its favor: The NCAA wanted to go West, where it hadn’t held a basketball championship since 1995, and the only suitable venue in the West was University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale.
About 150,000 fans attended the two nights of the Final Four in 2017, which North Carolina won by beating Gonzaga. That makes the Valley’s future pursuit of men’s Final Fours more competitive, but far from hopeless, Dan Gavitt, the NCAA’s senior vice president of basketball, said Tuesday. Commitment also matters, Gavitt said, including from entities who step up in ways most of us don’t see. For instance, the NCAA requires a certain number of hotel rooms be available at a certain price for a four-night minimum.
