Final Four Finale

This weekend heats up as college basketball comes to a close. Indianapolis will host the Men’s Final Four on April 3rd & 5th while San Antonio will host the Women’s Final Four on April 4th & 6th.
Two years ago San Antonio hosted the Men’s Final Four tournament and I had the privilege to attend. Though I grew up near San Antonio, I almost didn’t recognize the Alamodome and Sunset Station. The city center transformed into a buzzing sea of energetic basketball fans. There was music, dancing, food, and smiles all around as the Texas spring sun warmed everyone up for the hot tournament. If you’re looking for a fun time with friends or family, the Final Four is definitely worth it. Tickets are still available for both tournaments!
