                                       Credentials

Final Four Credentials
For national, international and Minneapolis-area media, the deadline to submit a Final Four credential ap-
plication was Friday, March 1, 2019.

For media members who cover a participating institution, please note the procedure for receiving creden-
tials:

During the course of the season and again after the bracket is announced at 6 p.m. Eastern time Sunday,
March 17, each participating institution’s sports information director will instruct media members who meet
NCAA criteria to sign up for inclusion on the team’s media list via the NCAA’s online credential system. Me-
dia members have until 6 p.m. Eastern time Monday, March 18 to sign up for inclusion on the list for a team
playing in a First Four game, or in a first-round game (for the 60 teams not playing in the First Four). If the
team that a media member covers advances to the next site (i.e. wins a First Four game in Dayton
to advance to a first-/second-round site, wins a second-round game to advance to a regional site,
or wins a regional final to advance to the Final Four), they must sign up for inclusion on the team
media list again. The deadline for signing up for inclusion on the team media list for a regional site is 6
p.m. Eastern time Monday, March 25, and the deadline for signing up for inclusion on the team media list
for the Final Four is 6 p.m. on Monday, April 1.

Media Access to U.S. Bank Stadium
Standard credentials issued by the NCAA are required for access to U.S. Bank Stadium from Sunday,
March 31 through Monday, April 8 and are required to be worn at all times while in the stadium. A media
credential permits admittance to U.S. Bank Stadium through any entrance. Requests for entry into U.S.
Bank Stadium from Sunday, March 31 through Wednesday, April 3 should be made via email to David
Worlock (dworlock@ncaa.org).

Final Four Credentials Will Again Include Photos
At the Final Four only, photos will appear on everyone’s credential. Media members who do not submit
a photo through the online credentialing system will have the opportunity to have their photo taken at the
credential distribution tent located on the northwest side of U.S. Bank Stadium (on the northwest corner of
Chicago and 4th Streets) during normal credential distribution hours. However, those who do so may have
extended delays in line and longer waits to pick up their credential. You are strongly encouraged to submit
a photo during the online application process.

Credential Zoning System
Once again, the NCAA will use a zoning system, with various areas of U.S. Bank Stadium designated with
numbers and letters. Those holding credentials will only have access to the numbered/lettered areas on
their credential. Generally, members of the media will be assigned credential zones that will provide them
access to public areas, working media areas (which includes back-of house locations and the press box),
team locker rooms (during designated times only), courtside media seating, and the court/deck during ap-
proved times. All zones will be designated by the NCAA.

Media Operations Manual

     Credential Distribution
     All credentials must be claimed in person. Government-issued identification is required and security per-
     sonnel will check all bags upon entry into the stadium. Members of the media may claim credentials at the
     credential distribution center located on the northwest side of U.S. Bank Stadium on the northwest corner
     of Chicago and 4th Streets. We suggest taking the light rail to the U.S. Bank Stadium stop to pick up their
     credential. That stop leaves a short walk to the credential distribution and entry into the stadium.

                            Day                          Times
                            Thursday, April 4            8 a.m. – 6 p.m.

                            Monday, April 8              8 a.m. – 6 p.m.

                                         Media Shuttle
     The NCAA will provide shuttle service to credentialed media members to and from the media hotels and
     U.S. Bank Stadium Thursday-Monday at the following times:

      Day                    Hours
      Thursday, April 4      9 a.m. – 6 p.m.

      Sunday, April 7        10 a.m. – 6 p.m.
      Monday, April 8        1 p.m. – Four hours after final press conference

     The regular media shuttle drop-off location will be on the southeast side of the U.S. Bank Stadium, which
     is very convenient for daily access into the stadium. Be forewarned, anyone riding the media shuttle to the
     stadium without having previously picked up their credential will have a significant walk around the extend-
     ed security perimeter to retrieve their credential.

                            Media Workroom Hours
     Media guides, press releases, updated statistics and notes, and other information will be available in the
     media workroom. The workroom hours are as follows.

     Metro Transit
     The Minneapolis Metro Transit system is an inexpensive, convenient way to get around the downtown Min-
     neapolis area. There are stops at the stadium, near the convention center and near both media hotels. You
     can also use it to get to and from the airport.

     Upon your arrival at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, the Terminal 1 Lindbergh light rail station is
     located below the Transit Center, between the Blue and Red ramps. From the Tram Level (one level below
     bag claim), take the tram to the Transit Center. When you exit the tram, follow the signs to the light rail
     station. (Note that if you arrive at MSP’s Terminal 2 Humphrey, the light rail station is located on the north
     side of the Orange Ramp. From Level 1 near Ticketing take the elevator or escalator up to the Orange
     Ramp skyway. Follow the signs to the light rail station. Take the escalators or elevators down one level to
     the station platform.)

     If you are staying at the Courtyard Minneapolis Downtown, take the Blue Line to downtown Minneapolis to
     the U.S. Bank Stadium station and transfer to the Green Line to West Bank Station. If you are staying at the
     Crowne Plaza NorthStar, take the Blue Line to downtown Minneapolis to the Government Plaza Station.

     To return to the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, take the Blue Line to Minneapolis-St. Paul Inter-
     national Airport Terminal 1 Lindbergh Station or Terminal 2 Humphrey Station.

     Trains run every 10 minutes during peak hours and typically every 10 to 15 minutes at other times of the
     day. To/From the airport, trains can take you to/from downtown Minneapolis in approximately 22 minutes.

     Should you have issues with the app or receiving your tickets, please contact Adam Mehl via adam.mehl@
     metrotransit.org.
