Step up Houston!
I'm enjoying myself here in Boston at the Women's Final Four and the WNBA Draft festivities; however, while moving from site to site, I keep asking myself why doesn't the city of Houston host the Women's Final Four?
Houston recently hosted the NBA All-Star Game; has hosted the NFL's Super Bowl; the MLB's All-Star Game and the World Series. The Men's Final Four is heading to Houston in a few years; so, why not Houston? We have the facilities: the hotels; the venues; etc.
For those of you who are not subscribers to the HRR's "Members Section", I want you to know, for the last two years, I've worked with the Harris County Houston Sports Authority, the University of Houston, and Toyota Center in hopes of Houston being selected as a host city for the NCAA Women's Basketball Championship. For various reasons, so far, our efforts have failed; however, hopefully, as women's basketball continues improving and growing in popularity, maybe more and more Houstonians (with pull) will get involved to help improve Houston's chances of being chosen as a host city.
Here's hoping the wait is a short one...

I have attended the Women's Final Four the last 5 years. I agree with Kris; Why can't the event be held in Houston? This year's event is being co-sponsored by two colleges (Harvard and Northeastern) that I'm sure do not meet the minimum requirements set forth by the NCAA in order to hold this type of event. So how did they get it?!!!!!!
Houston needs to get off it's but and get this event. While attending (this year and pasts) I have heard many people from the media and the NCAA that have said they want the event in Houston. As this event gets bigger and bigger every year, Houston would benefit greatly from the number of people attending the event. One dollar is better than no dollars.
If you are a real fan of women's basketball, then help get this event in Houston. Write letters to the paper, posts blogs on every sports webpage out there. This event needs to be in Houston, period.
