New Orleans -- Time keeps on ticking towards the 2004 NCAA Women's Final Four held in New Orleans, April 4 & 6. The Louisiana Coca-Cola Bottling Company along with the NCAA and the host institution, Tulane University, are unveiling a countdown clock to mark the days until the Women's Final Four begins.
The countdown clock, which is actually a billboard, is located on the corner of Loyola and Poydras facing the Louisiana Superdome.
Louisiana Coca-Cola is thrilled to sponsor the countdown clock as part of its local activation of the Women's Final Four event.
"The Coca-Cola Company is proud to partner with these great organizations to tip-off the 2004 NCAA Women's Final Four," says Debbie Meredith Coca-Cola North America's Gulf States Division Director of Marketing.
"The NCAA is pleased to bring the 2004 Women's Final Four to the city of New Orleans. Certainly, the four participating teams, women's basketball fans and guests of the NCAA will experience New Orleans at its finest. From its rich and storied history, to its unmatched cuisine, to its special flare for music, the Crescent City will offer a memorable experience for all who attend the 2004 Women's Final Four," said Sue Donohoe, vice president for Division I Women's Basketball. "We appreciate and acknowledge the commitment and effort of Tulane University and the Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation in partnering to host this premier collegiate event, and recognize The Coca-Cola Company as a corporate champion of the NCAA."
Tulane University's Athletic Director Rick Dickson says, "The people, the city, and its businesses as well as the youth of the community, will all benefit from having the 2004 NCAA Women's Final Four in New Orleans this year. We are proud to be the host institution for this event."
