2018 Final Four Stadium, Team, NCAA and Fan Hot Spots In San Antonio
This weekend, the men’s college basketball world descends on the Alamo City for the 2018 Final Four. This marks the fourth time that the mega event will be held in San Antonio and first since 2008. One of the reasons why San Antonio continues to be among the best event cities in the country involves how close the game venue, hotels, convention spaces and major tourist attractions, like The Alamo and River Walk, are to one another. In fact, the entire logistical setup of the Final Four is contained within not much more than one square mile. It really is a visiting fan’s dream.
Below is a detailed look at the places to be for the 2018 Men’s Final Four.
