Where will the 2017 Final Four take place?
When it comes to college basketball, there isn’t an accomplishment quite like reaching the Final Four. For a team to navigate through the season and amid 68 total teams to make four is a miracle season that will never be forgotten. While the goal is to win a national championship, the Final Four is something programs can hang their hat on forever.
The best part of the big event is that it is held in the largest venues possible. This year, the 2017 Final Four will take place at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. The stadium is home to the Arizona Cardinals and has hosted multiple Super Bowls and a WrestleMania.
It’s only fitting that it now gets the right to host the Final Four as one of the most beautiful stadiums in the country. The Final Four will begin on March 14 and then it will carry over until 68 teams officially become four and meet in Arizona.

The Final Four will take place on April 1 and the National Championship Game will take place two days later on April 3. Last year, the event was held in Houston, and Villanova and North Carolina ended up playing one of the most incredible championship games in history.
This year, one team will rise and stand among the elite in history. The great thing about the NCAA Tournament is that there is always a team that will shock everyone and go on a run. Whether or not they make it to Arizona is one thing, but it’s happened before with a surprise team making the final weekend.
