LOL.  I sure hope so.  The roof will be so old by then that if it hasn't been replaced, it will probably be in tatters anyway.

The Alamodome drew 43K for the Final Four when they hosted in 2008.  I think they plan to get it up to around 49K for next year.  I agree there is no way they will bring the Final Four to an arena with a capacity of 19 or 20K.  But I think it is possible they might find a way to live with 35 or 40K for Syracuse.  If they were to lower the floor some, it would be possible to get more than 50K into the Dome for basketball, and the seats would be great compared to places like the Georgia Dome or the SuperDome.  I have been to Final Fours in those places and the seats were awful.

Right now, I believe I read that there are only 8 sites that can hold a Final Four in the US.  If Syracuse was somehow able to get in the club, they would be part of a pretty small rotation, and my guess is that they might get more looks that some of the other areas that are over represented compared to the Northeast.
