Minneapolis basketball lovers celebrated on Friday night, as the under-construction Vikings stadium was announced as the venue for the 2019 NCAA tournament’s Final Four.
The city defeated competitors such as St. Louis, New Orleans and Atlanta for the chance to host its first Final Four since 2001.
David Mortenson, president of the company building the stadium, said at a press conference that the successful bid came after a yearlong period of “a tremendous amount of hard work and dedication.”
