Indianapolis is getting ready to host a pair of the NCAA basketball games by opening up more than 600 new hotel rooms.
According to Fox59, a local Indianapolis station, The Courtyard at Marriott, SpringHill Suites and Fairfield Inn are now open and booking guests. The new hotels are within walking distance from the stadium and new convention center, which will host the Final Four games.
The games take place March 14 through April 5 and Indianapolis hosts the Men’s Final Four April 3-5. Final Four tickets are on sale now starting at $410 and reaching as high as $3400. GoTickets.com is offering Final Four travel packages starting at $1,025 per person for three nights. The March Madness package includes three nights at the Hampton Inn Indianapolis South, tickets to the games, round-trip gameday transfers and shuttle service to Hoop City.
Indianapolis has suffered its drop in tourism dollars and is hoping the Final Four brings more travelers to the Midwest city — thanks to the addition of new hotel rooms, there’s plenty of room for basketball fans from around the nation.
