Preps for Indy's Final Four underway

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - The teams in the NCAA tournament are fighting for a chance for a trip to the final four here in Indianapolis. And efforts are already underway to make sure they get a warm welcome when they arrive.

Videotapes are being put together in the production studio at the Indianapolis Convention and Visitors Association. These tapes will be given to all members of the media who will be in the city to cover the final four.

"I think in working media terms they'll probably be in excess of 500 and by the time you count CBS and the broadcast crew and all the technicians, probably well in excess of a thousand. The final four is an opportunity to sell the city to those who might not otherwise visit. It's also a chance to reinforce Indianapolis' reputation as a great place to hold a big event,” said Bill Benner, Director of Communications for the Indianapolis Convention and Visitors Association.
