Dayton won’t know what eight teams it will host March 18-19 until the brackets are revealed March 16, but the committee has prepared a number of events around the four games.
Tickets are still available for the games, Farrell said, including lower-level seats and seats in the 300 level. For each ticket purchased in the lower arena at daytonhoopla.com/tickets, two tickets will be donated to students and Airmen at Wright-Patt.
“Another bidding cycle is coming up, and energy and atmosphere in the arena is going to be critical,” Farrell said. “It starts with butts in the seats.”
Hoopla begins with three events March 16:
Another part of Hoopla, on the days of the games, is the Hoopla Central VIP Lounge. Sponsors, NCAA representatives, visitors and event participants are invited to a high-end pregame sports lounge located one mile from UD Arena. Free transportation to the games is provided.
