Boise’s CenturyLink Arena was named the host site for the 2019, 2020 and 2021 Big Sky Conference men’s and women’s basketball tournaments on Monday afternoon.
If it were up to Boise City Councilman Scot Ludwig, the tournament would make Downtown Boise its permanent home.
“This is going to be a longer term than three years. I can promise you. We’re going to make this tournament continue perpetually in the Boise area,” Ludwig said at Monday’s press conference. “This arena and the downtown were made for this. We’re ready for this. ... The City of Boise will make this a safe, fun, exciting event that will never go away.
