2012 marks the 100th anniversary of the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA). Charlotte wlcomes back the CIAA Tournament on Monday, February 27th – Saturday, March 3rd. One of the nation’s premier sporting events is the annual CIAA Basketball Tournament. Touted as the third most attended basketball tournament among all NCAA divisions, the first tournament was a 2,000 seat sellout in Washington, D.C. The CIAA Tournament recorded consecutive sellouts in the 20,000 seat RBC Center, located in Raleigh, NC when the city was awarded the event in 2000 and 2003. The 2011 CIAA Tournament, in its sixth year in the “Queen City”, Charlotte, NC, boasted 190,000 fans during the course of the week, while making an economic impact of over $44.3 million. Since the year 2000, the CIAA has generated over $266 million in economic impact for the state of North Carolina and over $16.5 million in overall scholarship dollars for CIAA member institutions.
Tournament Week offers events for every social palate including parties, numerous educational and healthy-living components, step shows, and a battle of the bands. The men’s and women’s tournaments are held simultaneously and their respective championship games are on Saturday night.
