I'm surprised New Orleans did not make the cut.

Did Detroit host recently or was that a regional?

I was in the Metrodome for that game. Sat so far away in the upper deck that you couldn't even see well with binoculars. But the atmosphere of a title game was great. I was also at the 1997 Final Four that the Gophers were officially not at. Again, great atmosphere.

It's a shame the Northeast will never host another Final 4 barring a miracle. The Carrier Dome would need a major renovation and the NCAA would have to make an on-campus exception. There were talks about it happening following the 1996 Final 4 at the Meadowlands. However, Destiny USA is still just a giant mall and the luxury boxes and suites are now more important than ever.

Attending a Final 4 is high-up on my sports bucket list. My one friend is a huge UNC and we nearly drove out to Detroit for the title game in 2009. Despite the fact that Michigan State was a finalist, tickets on stubhub were going for $30 to get in the door and $75 for something "respectable".
