NCAA Women’s Basketball Regionals Fan Zone Need-to-Know Info

Event Breakdowns | Kiara Badue — Mar 19, 2026

We’re so excited to host the NCAA Women’s Basketball Regionals in downtown Sacramento! Our city is full of farm-to-fork restaurants, buzzing nightlife, and enthusiastic fan base. If you’re attending the games or want to hear the cheers from the arena, the Visit Sacramento Fan Zone is STEPS away from Golden 1 Center and the perfect place to experience the Sweet 16 and Elite Eight games!

The Visit Sacramento Fan Zone is in Ali Youssefi Square, one of downtown’s first entertainment zones. It’s in close proximity to bars and restaurants, where you’ll be able to purchase alcoholic beverages, (think: beer, wine, and cocktails) and take them to-go (in branded cups) back to the Visit Sacramento Fan Zone.

At the party, you can hear live DJs, test your skills at a Pop-A-Shot game, and take plenty of photos (tag @downtownsac on IG). You can also get your face painted, try airbrush tattoos, and make custom signs.
