The American Conference and Mohegan Sun Arena have agreed to an extension that will keep the conference’s women’s basketball tournament at the casino through 2020.
Mohegan Sun has been home to the tournament since the formation of the league in 2013. Since 2014, the tournament has averaged 30,334 fans over the four-day event, tops of all Division I women’s basketball tournaments in three of the last four seasons.
The arena has been a perfect home for the tournament, mostly because UConn’s dedicated fans can easily make the trip. The location has been lauded by many in the media, as fans can come and watch basketball while also visiting the many shops, restaurants and games the casino has to offer.
