Final 4s awarded to Texas cities
ARLINGTON, Texas — Jerry Jones envisions thousands of college students and fans filling the three-acre plazas at either end of the new Dallas Cowboys stadium, having a good time and creating home-court environments for their respective teams.
"This is going to be the largest-attended basketball game in the history of this sport," the Cowboys owner said Wednesday after the stadium was awarded the 2014 NCAA men's basketball Final Four. "That's neat."
About 93,000 people will be able to attend Final Four games at the stadium.
The NCAA on Wednesday also awarded the 2016 men's Final Four to Houston, games that will be played at Reliant Stadium, home of the Houston Texans.
The 2012 Final Four will be played at the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans, with finals also awarded to Atlanta's Georgia Dome in 2013 and the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis in 2015.
