No, no, no, they were always there. It is just the name of the arena that changed!

In my next job, I want to be a poof reader for the NCAA.

Interesting fact: March 4 and 5 appear to be part of February this year

The semifinals and final are held on the third full weekend in March (including Friday).

Another interesting item is found in Appendix A: Ohio, Michigan (....guess that kind of has to be if Ohio is....) and Alabama are western states, whereas Kentucky and Tennessee are eastern states.
