To whom was referred a Concurrent Resolution (H. 3526) to memorialize the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) to choose Columbia as a host city for an NCAA basketball tournament regional game or, etc., respectfully
That they have duly and carefully considered the same and recommend that the same do pass:
LISTON D. BARFIELD for Committee.
A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
TO MEMORIALIZE THE NATIONAL COLLEGIATE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION (NCAA) TO CHOOSE COLUMBIA AS A HOST CITY FOR AN NCAA BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT REGIONAL GAME OR THE FINAL FOUR.
Whereas, the City of Columbia, South Carolina, is ideally and uniquely situated to be a host city for the NCAA basketball tournament; and
Whereas, Columbia is the site of the Colonial Life Arena, which opened in 2002 as the largest arena in this State and the tenth largest on-campus facility in the nation; and
Whereas, nearly eighteen thousand fans have a close-to-the-action seat, thanks to the arena's intimate double-deck design, or they can follow the action on the scoreboard's four high definition video screens; and
Whereas, the citizens of Columbia and across the State are knowledgeable and loyal collegiate basketball fans, having been blessed with a legacy of winning programs over the years at many of South Carolina's public and private institutions of higher learning and a reputation for producing top-notch professional players; and
Whereas, the City of Columbia is easy to access by interstate highway, air, or rail and is a pleasure to visit with its gracious Southern hospitality; and
Whereas, as a host city for the NCAA basketball tournament, Columbia would offer a complete package to the NCAA and to the visiting fans. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the members of the General Assembly, by this resolution, memorialize the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) to choose Columbia as a host city for an NCAA basketball tournament regional game or the Final Four.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the National Collegiate Athletic Association.
