The NCAA will NEVER make a deal for the Final Four to remain in one city.
You may be right. But Indianapolis already has a deal with the NCAA to host the Final Four once every five years. That is 20% of the time, to me that doesn't put the idea in the realm of NEVER.
It's also a safe assumption that a majority of fans attending the Final Four are from the host city.
That is a misconception. The majority of the fans are from the schools who made it to the final four. The rest of the tickets made available to the public are on a list and (so its said) are randomly picked. They may be slightly more locals then others but not as much as you might think.
I can envision Indianapolis becoming used to the Final Four and not making as big of a deal out of it as it is.
I can't see that happening. Not sure what your reasoning is behind that, but basketball is a BIG deal in Indiana. You should see the big deal they make out of the IHSAA (high school) tournament every year. I couldn't see Indy not making as big of a deal out of it as it is.
Its kinda like the saying, "In 49 states its basketball, but this is Indiana..."
