Women's Final Four arrives in downtown Minneapolis this weekend for first time since 1995

March Madness rolls into downtown Minneapolis this week for a history-making NCAA women's basketball Final Four.

On Sunday night, one of the four remaining teams will raise the championship trophy under a cascade of confetti. But the significance of this year's tournament extends beyond the result of the action on the hardcourt.

For fans, it's a return to a multiday, in-person event after two years of COVID-19 cancellations and spectator bans.
