Brad Pittman is senior associate athletic director at Wichita State, overseeing facilities and event management. He is the tournament manager for the NCAA women's regional round coming to Intrust Bank Arena on March 25-28.
Pittman talks about ticket sales, hoped-for schools assigned to the bracket and the timeline for getting the arena ready for visitors and fans. We kick around why the arena has been a success for luring NCAA events and how upgrades to the airport and hotels are also part of the competition.
Pittman wraps it up with his memories of organizing the 2006 Rolling Stones concert at Cessna Stadium, which started with a phone call that was hard to believe.
