San Antonio's bid committee went to Tampa, Florida earlier this month to enter for consideration to host the NCAA Women's Final Four in 2021.
“This is great news. San Antonio is a fan favorite, and our upgrades to the Alamodome are paying off in a big way," said Mayor Ron Nirenberg. "The dome will be even better in 2021 than it was the last two times we hosted the Women’s Final Four.
“Kudos to the San Antonio Local Organizing Committee. We have gained momentum as a host for premier basketball events. San Antonio is on a roll.”
Eight other cities, including Dallas; Houston; Cleveland; Indianapolis; Kansas City, Missouri; Minneapolis and Nashville were also in contention to host a Women's Final Four during 2021-2024.
