A multi-purpose arena under construction in Fort Worth just landed another big event.
The American Athletic Conference will host its annual men's basketball tournament at Dickies Arena from 2020 to 2022, the conference announced on Tuesday.
The AAC, which includes SMU and Tulsa, will host the event in Memphis in 2018 and Orlando in 2019.
"This three-year agreement will bring our men's championship to a vibrant, sports-minded community that embraces major events and extends wonderful hospitality to visitors," AAC commissioner Mike Aresco said in a statement.
This is the second big college basketball event Dickies Arena has landed before its scheduled opening in late 2019.
