ST. LOUIS — Arch Madness, the annual Missouri Valley Conference Men's Basketball Tournament, will remain in St. Louis through 2028, according to a press release.
The tournament will be held at Enterprise Center through 2028 as part of an extension agreement. It will begin in 2026 and includes an option to host the event through 2030, which would mark the 40th straight year in St. Louis.
“We are so fortunate to be in a position to continue our relationship with the Enterprise Center and the City of St. Louis,” said Commissioner Jeff Jackson. “Arch Madness has proven to be a fabulous experience for our student-athletes. I want to thank Chris Zimmerman and Todd Mitchell (Vice President & General Manager of Enterprise Center) for their efforts on this matter and everyone’s on-going support of 'The Valley.'"
Arch Madness has been held in St. Louis since 1991. This year's tournament will be held from March 7-10 and will mark the 30th anniversary of the event at Enterprise Center, a press release said.
“As Enterprise Center prepares to celebrate its 30th anniversary later this year, we are thrilled to have been the home of Arch Madness since our opening year and now through at least 2028,” said Chris Zimmerman, president and CEO of business operations of the St. Louis Blues.
Since 1991, over 1.5 million fans have attended Arch Madness in St. Louis, a press release said.
