NCAA
Unveils New Final Four Logo in Atlanta
|
The
NCAA and Atlanta Local Organizing Committee
unveiled the official logo for the 2007 NCAA
Final Four on September 14 at the Hyatt Regency
downtown Atlanta.
The 2007 Final Four will take place at the Georgia
Dome March 30 - April 2, 2007. This is the second
NCAA Men's Final Four that the Georgia Dome
has hosted. The event was here in 2002 and the
Women's NCAA Final Four Tournament took to the
Dome's court the following year.
This March, Georgia Tech will host the NCAA
2006 Regional championship at the Georgia Dome.
This event will determine which team advances
to the 2006 NCAA Men's Final Four in Indianapolis.
The NCAA was represented at the unveiling by
Craig Littlepage, the director of athletics
at the University of Virginia and the chairman
of the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Committee
in 2005-06 as well as Tom Jernstedt, NCAA executive
vice-president. Representing the Atlanta local
organizing committee were Khalil Johnson, chief
operating officer of the Georgia World Congress
Center Authority, Dr. G. Wayne Clough, Georgia
Tech president and William Pate, chairman of
the Atlanta Sports Council as well as a large
group from the Atlanta Downtown community.
Atlanta is a great destination for events such
as the NCAA because of the excellent facilities,
the convenient layout of the GWCCA campus and
the close proximity to the downtown hotel district.
We welcome the NCAA!
