Tournament town, Kansas City

Description:

"The madness started in Kansas City. Long before 68-team brackets, championships in massive stadiums, selection Sunday and even Dickie V., college basketball tournament frenzy was a March tradition in Kansas City. From the first tip-off in 1905--an event that attracted thousands--tournaments of the AAU, NAIA, NCAA and Big Eight/12 found homes in the downdown landscape and became part of Kansas City's sports DNA"--Front jacket flap.
