I am surprised Sioux Falls got a Regional Final without first getting a year or two of first and second round games as a trial run. That would have been nice as the Jacks would probably have played here if they qualified , but you can't be disappointed at being able to host a Regional Final.

First round games are moving onto campuses, IIRC.

Mods - I probably should have started this thread under the College Athletics heading. Feel free to move it if you see fit.

To quote the famous line "build it and they will come" How true, and how exciting it will be for the fans in this area to experience that excitement and build up to the Final four. Great day for everyone concerned in bringing forth this wonderful tournament to this area.
