List of NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament venues

List of NCAA Division From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following is a list of venues that have hosted the NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament. Venues that have not yet hosted, but have been officially announced as future tournament sites, are also included. (Note that in most cases, the modern name of the venue is used, though it may have been known under a different name at the time.)

First Four

While the First Four format began in 2011, the tournament previously featured an Opening Round with "play-in games" in twelve editions. In 1983, there were four games in the Opening Round with two games in Philadelphia and two games in Dayton. In 1984, there were five games in the Opening Round with three games in Philadelphia and two games in Dayton. Like today's First Four, these games were a partial seventh round for the tournament with the winners advanced to the First Round proper.

From 1985 to 2000 there were 64 teams in the tournament and no play-in games. In order to grant the recently formed Mountain West Conference an automatic bid, the NCAA decided in 2001 to add one team to the field rather than reduce the number of at-large bids.

First and Second Rounds

This list includes sites which hosted preliminary games equivalent to the current First and Second Rounds. The 1951 tournament was the first tournament to have a game at a site other than the regional or national championship sites. From 1953 through 1974, the tournament had between three and six sites host first round games, with the winners progressing to the regional semifinals at the regional sites. In 1975, the tournament expanded to 32 teams and eliminated byes for top seeds, to accommodate the additional games eight sites hosted first round games. Between 1979 and 1985, the tournament gradually expanded to a 64-team field with a full, sixth round, creating the modern First and Second Rounds hosted at eight sites.

Regionals

Between 1939 and 1951, the Regional Championships were the National Semifinals, with the winners advancing to a separate site. From 1952 to the present, the Regional Championships are the national quarterfinals with the winners advancing to the Final Four. In most editions of the tournament these sites have been given a geographic designation such as "East Region".

Final Four

Between 1939 and 1951, the National Semifinals were hosted at the Regional sites and the National Championship game was hosted at a separate site. For those years, this list only includes the host of the National Championship game. In 1952, the Final Four evolved to the current format of four Regional winners meeting at a separate site.

Notes

[1]
Due to COVID-19 precautions, the 2021 tournament did not use the traditional division of rounds for sites:
Mackey Arena and Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall hosted First Four and First Round games.

Indiana Farmers Coliseum hosted First and Second Round games.

Gainbridge Fieldhouse and Hinkle Fieldhouse hosted First and Second Round games as well as Regional Semifinals.

Lucas Oil Stadium, with two adjacent courts, hosted First and Second Round games, all Regional Finals, and the Final Four.
[2]
The initial round of the 1951 tournament is considered the First Round despite being a round of 16 teams. The tournament expanded in 1951 to 16 teams but retained the two-region structure with the two regional champions meeting for the national championship game at a separate site. The NCAA's 1951 bracket names the round of 16 as the First Round, the round of 8 as the Regional Semifinals, and the round of 4 as the Regional Finals. All games of the West Region were played in Kansas City. In the East Region, two games in the initial round were played in Raleigh and the remainder of the games were played in New York City.

Mercedes-Benz Stadium lost the 2020 tournament because of lockdowns.
