![]() Denver was the only new city or venue host games in 1985. The other implication of this is that it was the only tournament between 19 to not feature an NFL stadium. (The Continental Airlines Arena (in 1996) was the main arena for Seton Hall, but they were not the primary tenants.) This tournament also marks the last time a domed stadium was not used for any tournament games before 1985, the four previous tournaments and the 1971 tournament were the only tournaments to include them. The 1985 tournament was the last time an off-campus arena (or, for that matter, any arena) whose primary tenant was a college team was used for a tournament. Lexington is the smallest metropolitan area to host a Final Four, and due to the use of domed football stadiums, it is unlikely to host a Final Four again despite the size of Rupp Arena. Lexington became the 21st host city, and Rupp Arena the 23rd host venue, for the Final Four.
