Atlanta is officially on the clock once again for another major sporting event. This time, the NCAA men's Final Four.

April 2020 will mark the fifth time Atlanta hosts the Final Four.

And just like the Super Bowl, the city receives the baton from Minneapolis. 

Dan Gavitt is the NCAA's vice president of basketball. Speaking at the logo unveiling in December, Gavitt complimented the city's previous hosting of the games... the last which came in 2013.

"Each one of the has been highly successful, the venue is spectacular and then the city of Atlanta itself, it's just a world class city that offers an incredible experience for the student athletes, coaches, and fans that will attend." 

The final games of the college basketball season will be played at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
