AT&T Stadium set a Final Four attendance record back in 2014, when the championship and two semi-final games collectively drew a crowd of 158,682.

But the stadium won’t have a chance to top that mark anytime soon.

Monday, the NCAA announced that no venue in Dallas-Fort Worth will be hosting the event, which takes place either the last weekend in March or first weekend in April.

However, several other cities in Texas were named as host sites, including Houston (2023) and San Antonio (2025).

The previous record for attendance at a game was 78,129 on Dec. 13, 2003, for the Michigan State-Kentucky game at Ford Field in Detroit.
