Final Four 2024

The Road to the Final Four heads to the Valley of the Sun

The 2024 NCAA Men’s Final Four® events, playoffs and championship game at State Farm Stadium in Glendale may be the main attraction, but there’s plenty more for sports fans to see and do while they’re in town.

April is an amazing time to visit Arizona. Sunny skies and great weather throughout the state highlight panoramas of stunning color and surprisingly diverse landscapes from lush high deserts to whitewater rivers to snow-crusted mountain peaks and gigantic stands of ponderosa pine. It’s easy to combine outdoor exploration and urban culture — from Jeep tours of Sedona and the Grand Canyon to horseback treks in Monument Valley.

Such photogenic endeavors can be seamlessly augmented by a stay at a world-class resort, golf on challenging courses with spectacular views, museum visits and memorable local meals in the cosmopolitan centers of Greater Phoenix, Scottsdale and Tucson.
