NCAA Tournament 2025

I think Tufts said they flew into and out of Charlotte, was thinking all teams did that?

You fly where the NCAA can get flights.  From San Antonio, GSO was the option.

Easier airport access was probably one of the selling points for Columbus or Pittsburgh, the next two Final Four sites.

I hear Dallas might have an airport or two.

(And I know you've laid out the business case for Pitt and CLB... I just have a hard time with the NCAA putting outdoor Final Four games in obvious snow country.)

A championship proposal in Dallas would likely have to be submitted by the SCAC, co-hosted by UDallas/Austin, neither of which have been terribly successful at the sport on either men's or women's side.  Then again, the ASC was a co-sponsor of a couple (rather poorly attended) football championships in the Houston area, so they could submit as well I guess.

But even in Dallas it can get cold.  Women had their championships in San Antonio back in the teens for a couple of years - the one year I went, temps were in the 30s (but no snow).  Dallas does see snow on occasion, but more often it's ice.  In either case, from personal experience, you don't want to be travelling there when either occur.
