Denver and the Pepsi Center are competing with Columbus, Ohio; Dallas; Indianapolis; Nashville, Tenn.; New Orleans; San Antonio; and Tampa, Fla.; for one of the five spots.
The Division I basketball committee will visit each city in September and October, and the finalists will present bids to the committee in November. The five sites will be announced in mid-November.
