Conference USA Commissioner Judy MacLeod announced that the 2024 and 2025 Conference USA Men’s & Women’s Basketball Championships will be hosted at the Huntsville arena.
Huntsville Mayor Tommy Battle said the city is proud to welcome the Conference USA men’s and women’s basketball championships to Huntsville and its renovated Propst Arena.
“March Madness will be starting in the Rocket City next year and we can’t wait to showcase our great city to all the student-athletes, coaches, fans, and alumni attending the event,” Battle said. Both championships have been held in Alabama previously, from 2015-17, in Birmingham at Legacy Arena and Bartow Arena for the women’s championship in 1996.
“Providing an exciting and enjoyable championship atmosphere for the student-athletes is our top priority, and I believe all of the teams traveling to the rocket city will love their experience here,” said Mark Russell, Executive Director of the Huntsville Sports Commission. “Huntsville is a great destination – not just to visit, but for sports – and I’m thrilled Conference USA is entrusting our team to host a high-caliber event like the C-USA Basketball Championships here.
“Bringing a piece of March Madness to Huntsville has been a goal for our community and this is a great opportunity to have the road to the Final Four start here,” said Joel Lamp, Sports Manager for the Huntsville/Madison County Convention & Visitors Bureau. “Conference USA has a national brand that will provide a larger platform for Huntsville to shine.
