The NC State women's basketball team has arrived in Cleveland, Ohio for the Final Four. The Crowne Plaza is hosting the Wolfpack and is pulling out the red carpet for the Wolfpack.
WE NEED SOME OPTIMISM NOWADAYS. ABSOLUTELY APPRECIATED. JOY AT THAT LIKE THAT SPEAKING INTO EXISTENCE. SO THE WOLFPACK WOMEN THERE IN CLEVELAND, OHIO, AHEAD OF THEIR FINAL 4 MATCHUP AGAINST SOUTH CAROLINA. >> WRAL'S BRETT KNESE IS THEY'RE SHOWING US WHAT FANS AND THE TEAM WILL GET TO EXPERIENCE THROUGHOUT THE CITY OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. >> EACH OF THE FINAL 4 TEAMS HAVE THEIR OWN HOTELS FOR FRIENDS, FAMILY. OF COURSE, THE TEAM ITSELF AND ANY OTHER STAFF AND COACHES THAT COME ALONG ON THE TRIP. THIS IS THE CROWNE PLAZA AND SEE STATES HOTEL. YOU CAN SEE IT'S DECKED OUT IN WOLFPACK READ AND THEIR LOGOS. IT EVEN HAS A NOD TO THEIR REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP. THEIR PORTION OF THE BRACKET IS INSIDE THE LOBBY. A NICE REMINDER OF WHAT THIS TEAM HAS ACCOMPLISHED ALREADY THE WOLFPACK WOMEN WILL GET TO TAKE IN SOME COOL HISTORY OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. THE HOTEL IS JUST STEPS AWAY FROM THE LARGE PERFORMING ARTS CENTER OUTSIDE OF NEW YORK. IT'S CALLED PLAYHOUSE SQUARE, HAS 5 THEATERS THAT ORIGINALLY OPENED BACK IN THE 1920'S ALSO JUST BLOCKS AWAY. IS THIS BUILDING A FORMER BANK? IT'S NOW A GROCERY STORE, BUT A LOT OF THE ORIGINAL ARCHITECTURE IS STILL IN PLACE, INCLUDING ITS ROTUNDA. THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE FROM INSIDE THE TEAM IS HOLDING A CLOSED PRACTICE TODAY. THEY ALSO HAVE A DINNER AND AWARDS CEREMONY LATER
