VanAndel Arena could host 2011 NCAA tournament first round



"We're in the queue for the first round Division I championship," said well-known Republican activist, West Michigan resident and businessman Peter Secchia.

Secchia, an MSU booster, has been talking to NCAA officials about bringing a regional playoff to Van Andel Arena in 2011. Sources with the NCAA confirm there have been ongoing discussions with high-ranking officials.

According to NCAA.com, the opening round will be March 15, with first- and second-round games played on March 17-20. The Final Four in 2011 will take place April 2 and 4 at Reliant Stadium in Houston, Texas.
