Women’s NCAA tournament continues Monday: A look at who’s playing
WOO! LET’S GO! WE WANT IT! HEY! WE WANT IT! HEY, WE NEED IT! HEY! WE NEED IT! HEY, WE GOT IT! AGAIN. THE PARTY STARTED EARLY THIS MORNING. BOISE STATE UNIVERSITY GOLDEN GIRLS JOINED OUR MORNING SHOW TO GET HYPED UP FOR THE CIAA BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT. MORE THAN 100,000 PLAYERS, STUDENTS, ALUMNI AND FANS ARE VISITING CHARM CITY FOR THIS WEEK LONG FESTIVITIES. AND THAT TRANSLATES INTO BIG MONEY FOR THE CITY. AS LISA ROBINSON REPORTS, THE ECONOMIC IMPACT IS EXPECTED TO BE MORE THAN $32 MILLION. THE CIAA TOURNAMENT HAS BUSINESSES SEEING A LOT OF GREEN. TEAM SPIRIT IS IN THE AIR AT CFE ARENA. MARCHING BANDS ARE JAMMING TO THEIR TUNES WHILE ATHLETES BIRD UP AND DOWN THE COURT AS CROWDS CHEER ON. I GOT SOME TURKEY BURGERS TO. SHAUNA PAGE IS OUTSIDE, FIRING UP HER GRILL AND FLIPPING BURGERS. SHE PLANS TO SET UP SHOP HERE THROUGH SATURDAY. TODAY I’M DOING LIGHT WORK. I HAVE HAMBURGERS, I HAVE HOT DOGS, I HAVE CHILI, I HAVE VEGAN CHILI, CHIPS, JUICE AND WATER. BUT TOMORROW I’LL HAVE MORE. SO SOMETHING A LITTLE. JUST A LITTLE LIGHT. TODAY. OVER AT LEXINGTON MARKET, VENDORS ARE HOPING PEOPLE LOOKING FOR A GOOD MEAL WILL CHECK THEM OUT. ACTUALLY, SINCE IT’S BEEN HERE EACH YEAR, I HAVE ACTUALLY HAD BUSINESS. YOU KNOW, MORE BUSINESS AT MY RESTAURANT. FIRST, THE ONE THAT I HAD IN FEDERAL HILL AND THEN NOW HERE AT LEXINGTON MARKET. LAST YEAR, THE LINES WERE KIND OF WRAPPED AROUND, AND I’M EXCITED TO SEE WHAT’S GOING TO BE THIS YEAR. WE HOPE THAT THAT THE PEOPLE THAT’S COMING IN TOWN FROM ALL OVER THE EAST COAST AND WEST COAST WILL COME DOWN TO LEXINGTON MARKET, WHICH IS A STAPLE IN THE COMMUNITY. AS YOU SEE, THERE ARE A LOT OF SMALL BUSINESSES DOWN HERE, SO WE’RE HOPING THAT WE CAN GET AN OVERFLOW OF THE CUSTOMERS THAT’S COMING IN FROM FROM OUT OF TOWN. WE IT’S NOT JUST ABOUT FOOD. THE TOURNAMENT BRINGS PEOPLE TO A PART OF DOWNTOWN THAT USUALLY HAS LITTLE FOOT TRAFFIC. VISITORS ARE FILLING UP HOTELS AND CHECKING OUT SMALL BUSINESSES. THE TOURNAMENT RUNS THROUGH MARCH 1ST.
