So here's what is out there so far with respect to conference Tourny locations:

Men's Basketball - Madison Square Garden, NYC
Women's Volleyball - Omaha - Creighton
Men's and Women's Tennis - National Tennis Center - St. John's

Anyone have anything else?

I'd love to have the Big East baseball tourney in Omaha at the home of the college world series. The Big 10 tourney is here next year, but I'm not sure which stadium it is being played at (there is also a new 5000 seat minor league park here).

The big east baseball tourney at TD ameritrade is a no brainer. I heard somewhere that soccer will be in Philadelphia at the mls stadium.

Confirmed:

The BIG EAST Championship will once again be held at PPL Park in Philadelphia, Pa. The park is home to Major League Soccer's Philadelphia Union. The quarterfinals will be played on campus sites with the final four squads advancing to PPL Park.

So that pretty much leaves softball, baseball and women's basketball.

For women's basketball...what about The Palestra? Somewhat central (at least to the east coast teams), plenty of history, and it seats ~10k, so it wouldn't be 'too' empty looking if turnout isn't great?

Palestra isn't bad but I don't think the women's tournament will get too many people, how about staying in house and doing it at another historical site like Hinkle?

Would it be better to have one regular site or move these around?

Creighton baseball coach Ed Servais said last night that the Big East is looking at Citi Field in NYC for the tournament next year. Coaches have discussed using TD Ameritrade in Omaha also.
