San Diego State and Connecticut are playing Monday night for the men's NCAA basketball championship of 2023. The semifinals and the championship game are being played at NRG Stadium in Houston - home of the Houston Texans. My issue with the NCAA tournament is that since 1997, they play these 3 games in an NFL stadium. In my opinion, that's just way too big of a facility.

The seats are so far from the court itself. That's especially true if you're in the "nose bleed seats"! My other major complaint being since they only play in NFL stadiums with a roof, that immediately removes most NFL markets from the list of ever hosting the semis and final and therefore receiving the economic impact. Those markets are:

1. San Francisco

2. Denver

3. Kansas City

4. Green Bay (Milwaukee)

5. Chicago

6. Nashville

7. Jacksonville 

8. Tampa

9. Miami

10. Charlotte

11. Cincinnati

12. Cleveland

13. Pittsburgh

14. Washington

15. Baltimore

16. Philadelphia

17. Buffalo

18. New York

19. Boston

Now, some of these NFL markets likely may never be chosen anyway (especially somwhere like Green Bay) simply for logistics. But look at some of these others! Nashville, Chicago, Miami, NEW YORK! I totally understand why they do it this way (economic benefit for the NCAA), but it's just something that gets me.
