Ncaa fan fest phoenix
by Fan on 4/15/24Phoenix Convention Center - PhoenixLacking for things to do. Not much to offer. Vendors made you participate in shooting hoops. Parking was $40 and that was a rip off!! Won't be going again.
We're sorry, but we couldn’t find any events. Try updating your location and date range, or use more general keywords.

So many terrific activities - perfect for kids and, maybe even more so, for kids at heart. I’ve been to Fan Fests for other NCAA events; nothing compares to the magnitude and creativity for this one.
I was disappointed that some Arizona basketball superstars were not there like Caleb love and Stoudemire. Also disappointed in the limited number of food choices.
We travel to the final 4 every year. Houston was awesome , but arizona surpassed what houston did. The action for us never stopped: between games, Concerts, fan experience tailgates it was an amazing weekend
Not sure if the NCAA had conversations with the Phoenix Airport Authority, which should hold their tenants accountable. The rental car situation was horrible. Waited over two hours for our car from Budget. Not prepared at all for influx of fans. The State Farm Stadium parking authority and its parking plan was not much better. You would think after years of fans coming in and out of this stadium, they would have this figured out on how to get this many fans into and out without the stalemate at most of the parking lots. Would not head back to Phoenix for a Final Four.
So much activity events happening very interactive for little ones and big kids everybody working there was so nice and welcoming thank you for everyone’s help
Actual experience is awesome and would recommend to anyone. But food was meh and over priced. Other then that no complaints and to he honest. There is always something to be either playing, doing, or watching. 10/10 will be back next time it’s in town.
The Final Four Fan Fest was a fun event but some of the stations should have more hoops as the lines were so long that we weren't able to take part in them. The kids wanted to shoot on the virtual court that they created with AI but with only 2 hoops going at once, we waited for awhile but with the line moving so slowly they decided that it just wasn't worth it. Ideally maybe could have had 4-6 of these. The other thing is that it cost $30-40 for parking which is absolutely ridiculous as we were only there for about 3 hours. It was pretty cool to check out but not sure if we would go next time.
After buying the tickets online I went to the security gate and they told me I couldn’t come in with a camera that had a lens longer than 3 inches. My lens was 3.5 inches Every person going in has a smart phone that can take high quality pictures and videos. But my half inch got me turned away. This was not a fan friendly event.
We drove into Phoenix on Sunday to attend the NCAA Fan Fest from Glendale where we were staying. Found easy parking. Entrance to event went smooth. Signed waiver for events. Family proceeded to events with little wait time. Did the size of the location, there was not as much as at previous Fan Fest events. Not a big issue; but, just a little disappointing.
