NCAA officials were in Detroit this week for a tour of Ford Field and a star-studded soiree as the Detroit Sports Commission makes its push to host another men's basketball Final Four.
The events were Monday, and first featured a tour of Ford Field — with the NCAA particularly interested in the recent $100-million renovations — followed by an evening gala on the rooftop of the Madison Building, where the likes of John Engler, Tom Izzo, Warde Manuel, Greg Kelser and even Mark Hollis were in attendance for the hour-and-a-half meet-and-greet.
The Detroit Sports Commission officially submitted its bid to host another Final Four in December.
