2018 Midwest Regional Hosted by Big East's Creighton

Hopefully the CenturyLink will receive some renovations before the 2018 Tournament. It's still one of the top ten venues in the country, but it could be "plussed."

Huh? This is a head scratcher.

"It is a tremendous coup for Omaha to get a Regional," said Rasmussen. "There are no Regionals in 2016, '17 and '18 that will be held in domes, so the basketball environment for the Regionals wil be tremendous."

Had to go back and look. The last time an NCAA Tournament had none of the regionals in domed stadiums was 1995.

East Regional: Meadowlands Arena (currently the IZOD Center. Had to check to see if it had been torn down since they ran out of tenants.)
Midwest Regional: Kemper Arena in Kansas City (currently planned to be razed)
South Regional: BJCC Arena, Birmingham
West Regional: Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum
