The inaugural Division I Men’s college basketball doubleheader ‘Battle at Atlantis’ will be held at the famed Atlantis Resort on Paradise Island, Bahamas on Saturday, December 18, 2010.
Mississippi State, Virginia Tech, Georgia Tech and Richmond are the four to play ‘Battle at Atlantis.’ Mississippi State will play Virginia Tech and Georgia Tech will play Richmond in a new 4,500-seat arena to be unveiled in the 60,000 square-foot conference center.
The half-million dollar temporary stadium will boast state-of-the-art regulation facilities at the epicenter of the world’s largest open-air marine habitat complete with lavish guest accommodations, restaurants, bars, spa, lounges, waterslides and the largest casino in the Bahamas. In addition to enjoying appearances by former NCAA All-American, NBA Star and current ESPN/CBS Sports Analyst Len Elmore, fans will enjoy over-the-top prizes including a collection of high stake half-court shots with payouts in the six figures.
George Markantonis, President/Managing Director, Kerzner International Bahamas said “When we decided to get into college basketball, we said let’s make it the biggest, most fantastic event ever. We know these teams will create an energy and excitement here that is unparalleled. It will be a sports experience unlike any other in a beautiful resort destination, something we are confident our guests and college basketball fans around the nation will love.”
Minister Vincent Vanderpool-Wallace, Minister of Tourism for the Bahamas said “We have been doing events like this for years, but on a much smaller scale. With the encouragement and partnership with Atlantis, the upcoming Battle at Atlantis in December will attract visitors here who would not ordinarily visit the Bahamas and further expand tourism in the Bahamas for years to come within a new market segment.”
