With the Oak View Group planning to begin the $600 million, two-year-long renovation project at KeyArena by the end of the year, the Pac-12 women’s basketball tournament will have to find a new home.
The Pac-12 has held its women’s basketball tournament at KeyArena since 2013, and was contracted to remain through 2019. But the arena’s pending remodel has forced the league to look for a new venue.
Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott said Sunday before the championship game that the conference is still looking into options, but indicated that the conference has liked having the women’s basketball tournament in Seattle, and would not be opposed to a return after the arena project is completed.
