2014 NCAA Men’s Final Four:
April 5-7
The NCAA Final Four men’s college basketball games will be
played April 5 and April 7 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Sometimes
known as March Madness or the Big Dance, the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball
Tournament has grown from an eight-team tournament in 1939 to a 68-team, single-elimination
playoff with mass appeal. The semifinals and championship games are each
expecting more than 100,000 fans, and about 15 million viewers are expected to watch
each game on TV. To commemorate this occasion, the Census Bureau has compiled a
collection of facts examining the demographics of the host city, as well as the
cities represented by the four remaining teams — Madison, Wis. (University of Wisconsin),
Gainesville, Fla. (University of Florida), Storrs, Conn. (University of Connecticut)
and Lexington-Fayette, Ky. (University of Kentucky).
