We’ve made it. The Final Four is here. After two crazy weeks of March Madness—full of wild finishes, last-second shots, and dreams coming true or falling apart—we’re down to the last four teams. Auburn, Duke, Florida, and Houston. All four were No. 1 seeds, and now they’re just two wins away from a national championship.
But things are about to feel very different. The games now move to San Antonio, where the Alamodome will host the Final Four. This place isn’t a regular basketball arena. Nope—it’s a football stadium. And that changes everything.
Most of the tournament is played in smaller arenas where college teams usually play. That’s what we’ve seen so far in 2025. But once we get to the Final Four, the court gets moved into a massive football dome. That means the players have to adjust to shooting in a big, open space where the background feels way farther away. It can throw some guys off. Others step up and own the moment.
San Antonio knows how to put on a show. The Alamodome has hosted big games before, including past Final Fours. The energy’s wild, and the crowd is huge. It’s one of those places where basketball feels even bigger than usual.
So what makes this venue special? How many fans will pack the seats? Does any team have a home-court edge? And why does the NCAA keep picking football stadiums for basketball’s biggest stage?
We’ll get into all that. But first, let’s take a closer look at the Alamodome—its size, its setup, and what it means for the Final Four.
