Saturday, April 5: Pontiac Garage at the Final Four
On Saturday, April 5, Pontiac Garage at the Final Four® will energize both fans of music and basketball with performances by numerous popular artists, including Kid Rock, Puddle of Mudd, and Austin-based rock band Meridianwest. Also on Saturday, Pontiac Garage at the Final Four will be home to The World’s Largest Pep Rally featuring cheerleaders, mascots and pep bands from each of the four participating teams as they rally their respective fans just hours before tip-off of that night’s first semifinal contest at the nearby Alamodome. Our nation’s military will be honored with a military salute and flyover and, for the third year in a row, Pontiac’s pre-game predictor—the Pontiac Virtual Final Four—will pit four elite gamers against each other in the ultimate showdown in college hoops gaming skill. The day culminates with viewing of the Men’s Final Four semifinal games, which will be broadcast by CBS and KENS-5 on giant video boards at The Big Dance.
