CLEVELAND — Here at News 5, we are getting excited to bring you championship game coverage of the NCAA Women's Final Four Basketball Tournament. Organizers expect 30,000 basketball fanatics are expected in Downtown Cleveland as the city hosts the tournament.
"I think as a team we're probably close to 1,000 right now, so almost halfway with what we're looking at today and me personally hoping to maybe have a small portion of that so far," said Becky Griesmer, Greater Cleveland Sports Commission."We are starting our parade route from public square and 11 a.m.
The bounce will end at Huntington Convention Center where Tourney Town is taking place. That is a free fan festival open for four days from April 4 through the 7. On Saturday, the Super Saturday concert will have Lotto as our headliner this year which will be taking place April 6 at Public Hall. Basketball fan or not, hosting the tournament games puts Cleveland yet again on the map in April of 2024. The total solar eclipse will happen in Cleveland just days later.
