Does anyone know definitively where the First and Second Round games of the Tournament will be played or have a link with the info? I was looking at ESPN's Bracketology, but I noticed that the locations of some of the opening games have switched, and these locations still do not match the ones Jerry Palm gives in his bracketology. I tried googling it, but didn't find much.

The sites are set, but the pod-region combinations aren't. i.e., a "second and third round" location might be a part of Region X or Region Y. It might include the #1 team in a region, it might not.

Gotcha thanks. I guess we'll find out in a couple minutes either way. And I refuse to call the first and second rounds of the tournament by their official name as you did...
