It was the third time in the 46-year history of the NCAA Tournament that the championship match had less than 3,000 people in attendance.

The 2011 NCAA Tournament ended with a finals’ attendance of 3,683. Each of the previous five NCAA Tournament finals played at Penn State had more than 3,500 people in attendance.

The 2016 NCAA Tournament semifinals will be Thursday, May 5, while the championship match will be played Saturday, May 7.
