FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO) Fort Wayne may be hosting multiple NCAA Championship events in the future.

The Allen County War Memorial Coliseum, Visit Fort Wayne, IPFW and Manchester University have partnered to submit 25 NCAA Division I and III bids for seven championships in four different sports, according to Visit Fort Wayne.

The bids are for the 2018-2019 through 2021-2022 academic years. These bids are a result of an effort to re-introduce Fort Wayne NCAA.

The Coliseum has already hosted four NCAA championships. The National Collegiate Men’s Volleyball Championship in 1988, 1994 and 2000 were hosted in Fort Wayne. The Division I Men’s Ice Hockey Midwest Regional in 2010 was also hosted at the Coliseum.

Manchester University will host the Division III Wrestling Midwest Regional in February of 2017 in the Coliseum.
“We have prepared proposals that demonstrate our city’s ability to provide the facilities, hotels, attractions and amenities to ensure a successful and enjoyable experience for student‐athletes, coaches and fans,” said Dan O’Connell, president and CEO of Visit Fort Wayne. “We are extremely grateful to our local NCAA member universities for partnering with us to bid on these high profile tournaments.”
