2024 Men's Final Four Host Committee

It was like a family reunion this morning, as the Arizona Major Events Host Committee announced $429 million in economic impact from the 2024 Men’s Final Four! 🏀🌵🤗 We couldn’t have done it without this incredible team, and so many more who were unable to make it today. We can’t thank you all enough!

One of our 2024 Men’s Final Four Cactus Statues was recently relocated to its new home inside the Maryvale Community Center. 🏀🌵 The community center at 51st Ave & Indian School Rd in Phoenix, has more than 25,000 visitors a year, and more than 3,100 participants in its programs, including youth basketball, youth flag football, youth volleyball, martial arts and gymnastics. Special thanks to bluemedia for helping moving the 14-foot statue, which was originally located inside the Final Four Fan Fest at the Phoenix Convention Center & Venues.

In case you missed it, the 2024 Men’s Final Four was a resounding success! Thank you to our friends at the NCAA, our local business, city and tribal partners, and most of all, our dedicated staff! We could not have done it without you. #MFinalFour 🏀🌵 #sportsbiz
