NCAA Sweet Sixteen Schedule

The four sites for the 2010 "Sweet 16" are the Carrier Dome in Syracuse, New York (East), the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis, Missouri for the Midwest, Reliant Stadium in Houston, Texas for the South and the Energy Solutions Arena in Salt Lake City. The East and West regional games will be played on March 25 and the Midwest and South games tip off on March 26.http://www.ncaa.com/Regional sites are chosen years in advance and the areas have to meet a minimum attendance requirement. Schools are not allowed to play in their home arena during the NCAA Tournament. In addition to seeding the teams, the NCAA basketball committee attempts to "balance" the regions by sending certain schools to certain locales to keep the brackets as even as possible.
