	Detroit hosts this year, boston bully.

	16/27 from playing the alternative game of `Name big cities in the USA.' :-)

	I like it because it shows the transition of the Final Four from large college arenas/famous arenas to gigantic domed stadiums. Kinda sad to think that there won't be another Final Four at Rupp Arena or The Pit in New Mexico

	For some reason, I thought the Superdome hosted it more than four times. Maybe I was thinking of Super Bowls.

	@ boston bully: Evanston is the next city north of Chicago. It is where Northwestern University is located (even though Northwestern has NEVER made an NCAA tournament OR an NIT).

	24/27, not sure how I missed East Rutherford. Got 1.8% because it's the answer to a great trivia question: What's the only school to host the final four despite never qualifying for the NCAA Tournament?

	@Tim Welch: Northwestern has made the NIT on four occasions.

	Got 18, and I'm happy with that. Big ups, East Rutherford! I'm honestly surprised 13.6% of people thought of that one... unless they just read Burton's comment and copied it, which would be funny and stupid.

	@kicking222: i thought of the meadowlands instead of east rutherford.

	cocky:	Dec 30th, 2008 at 22:30 GMT	5 points
	I got Salt Lake whtn I remembered that is where the Bird-Magic game was played.

	Kansas City is #1, of course the Final Four will never be back in my hometown because the NCAA only does Final Fours in football domes that are way too big for basketball. Those places are horrible venues for basketball.

	Lindsay:	Dec 31st, 2008 at 00:21 GMT	1 point
	The # of times column is a bit out of order - it has a city with 4 hostings between two with 5.

	Lindsay:	Dec 31st, 2008 at 02:38 GMT	2 points
	Looks like it's been fixed - that was quick! Thanks!

	radiosilence:	Dec 31st, 2008 at 04:26 GMT	4 points
	Keep in mind Kansas City is #1 because the NCAA was headquartered in nearby Overland Park, Kansas, for many years.

	I got 16, using the 'name big US cities' technique. 17 if you count the fact I couldn't spell Albuquerque.

	marpocky:	Dec 31st, 2008 at 08:05 GMT	0 points
	Got 23/27, but had near misses on 3 of my missing 4 (DC for College Park, Chicago for Evanston, Tampa for St. Pete). I also tried Charlotte and Raleigh but not Greensboro.

	chuckart:	Dec 31st, 2008 at 15:59 GMT	1 point
	The NCAA should never have left Kansas city when it did. On the bright side we now have the college basketball hall of fame which is awesome.

	David:	Dec 31st, 2008 at 22:14 GMT	1 point
	25/27. Didn't know there was one in College Park, and I guess I spelled Lexington wrong, or maybe I just forgot it.

	Catherine_F:	Jan 2nd, 2009 at 00:31 GMT	2 points
	Now that I have the state capitals cemented in my head, I have a hard time naming cities that aren't capitals sometimes..

	youre good, youre tough, but youre good

	KC was my first guess, but I didn't know they had it here 10 times! Missed Albuquerque and San Francisco because I misspelled them when I put them in and figured they weren't on the list. Chicago and DC should count for Evanston and College Park, respectively. Can't believe I didn't think of Philly or Atlanta (especially since KU went to the Final Four there!)

	We NU Wildcats are ashamed that our only college basketball related claim to fame is known by so few people.

	bmo1616:	Mar 29th, 2009 at 14:29 GMT	2 points
	You need to update this and add Detroit

	DrumBum88:	Apr 8th, 2009 at 16:46 GMT	3 points
	Detroit needs to be added to the list

	Arthur:	Apr 18th, 2009 at 21:23 GMT	2 points
	Detroit, lol...

	bmo1616:	Apr 22nd, 2009 at 16:32 GMT	1 point
	I don't understand why Detroit hasn't been added yet, the Final Four was 3 weeks ago! Somebody's sleeping at Sporcle headquarters

	Samuel Spade:	May 26th, 2009 at 20:23 GMT	0 points
	Ummm...DETROIT!!!! Get on it!!

	GeoExpert:	Jun 11th, 2009 at 17:54 GMT	1 point
	Northwestern hosted the final four 2 times! Cool! Even though they have never even been to the tournament... :-( (Evanston)

	GeoExpert:	Jun 11th, 2009 at 17:55 GMT	-1 points
	Come on Sporcle! Add Detroit

	GeoExpert:	Jun 11th, 2009 at 17:56 GMT	0 points
	@Sam: Go NU!

	GeoExpert:	Jul 6th, 2009 at 02:26 GMT	-1 points
	Finally. Detroit is now on :)

	Onno:	Jul 9th, 2009 at 19:55 GMT	1 point
	Ah, that explains the second-least guessed. I don't know anything about sport in the USA but somehow I like to do these quizzes to test my knowledge of US cities.

	BiloxiSean:	Jan 9th, 2010 at 01:52 GMT	2 points
	KC has had a lot of Final Fours, but I think that Indy is going to overtake it due to the fact that the NCAA wants it there at least every five years or so.

	BiloxiSean:	Jan 9th, 2010 at 01:53 GMT	2 points
	And we will never see a NY Final Four because of the scheduling conflict with the circus, and there is no dome in NYC.

	dlte:	Jan 9th, 2010 at 02:32 GMT	1 point
	@weizenugb: Northwestern has been to the NIT four times (1983, 1994, 1999, 2009). They were also national champions in 1931.

	azcat90:	Mar 22nd, 2010 at 20:32 GMT	1 point
	Louisville??? That must have been a long time ago...

	leftyJR3:	Mar 30th, 2010 at 16:20 GMT	1 point
	yeah, before the final four became a huge event, they used to have it at college campuses like Kentucky and Maryland.
