Charlotte-Mecklenberg Police today released statistics showing a downward trend in arrests at this year’s CIAA Tournament when compared to last year’s numbers. 21 people were arrested over the course of the week, with most in connection to alcohol and fighting.

The department reported 31 arrests last year during CIAA tournament week. Official attendance numbers have not yet been released, but the tournament annually attracts more than 200,000 people to the Charlotte uptown area.

It’s a good bet that most of those arrests probably were made shortly after this video was shot.

The CIAA just completed another successful tournament run in Charlotte, sure to bring another February of multi-million dollar returns in revenues for the city, and economic stimulus to local businesses.

But in the throes of the most attended and popular college basketball tournament in the country, CIAA leadership all but threatened to take the tournament away from the city to remind every one of how one-sided the Charlotte-CIAA partnership has been over the course of seven years.

Will the CIAA Tournament Leave Charlotte?

As the CIAA Tournament speeds towards the conclusion of its last games and associated day parties, CIAA Commissioner Jacqie Carpenter says that there is a real possibility that 2014 may be the last year of the tournament’s run in the Queen City. From the Charlotte Observer:

“We still haven’t been able to take care of our teams the way that I’d like to; they are spread out all over the city and I would like to figure out a way to get teams closer to the venue. That’s part of their experience as well,” Commissioner Jacque Carpenter said.

Cities will begin bidding for the tournament next month.

CIAA Commissioner Jacqie Carpenter on Federal Lawsuit Against Promoters, Vendors

Written by , Posted in CIAA, CIAA Basketball Tournament, Sports

“If somebody was attaching your name and not using it for things that are healthy for your family, what would you do?” Carpenter said last month at a press conference to unveil the league’s new seal and basketball tournament logo. “We have a brand that’s our family brand and if you want to use it, just go through the right process of using it. Don’t say you love the CIAA but don’t want to use it properly in the right form or the right way. It’s our job to protect our brand.”
