2019 NCAA MEN’S FINAL FOUR BASKETBALL THOUGHTS

The 2019 NCAA Men’s Basketball Final Four came to Minnesota. Events came to the Downtown Minneapolis area.

During the week leading up to the Final Four there were activities throughout the Downtown Minneapolis area.

I was able to partake in some of the Final Four events in the area. I also worked the Final Four and National Championship game.

Nicollet Mall was the hub for most of the Final Four activities. Also, the Target Center hosted the slam dunk championships.

I was able to take a walk down Nicollet Mall and took in some of the events. Some things that happened on Nicolet Mall were ESPN came in and did some of their NCAA basketball coverage.

On Saturday and Monday, I was able to get to work the Final Four and National Championship games.

Overall the atmosphere downtown throughout the week was electric. The city of Minneapolis really put on a good show throughout the NCAA Final Four week and weekend.

I also think the staff at the US Bank Stadium did a good job in transforming the football stadium into a makeshift basketball stadium.

With two big events in the book I really think that both the NFL and NCAA will be taking another look at the US Bank Stadium to host other big-time sporting events.
