Cary may be a town, but the NCSS selected the Raleigh suburb for its "Championship City" pilot program. The program is a long-term agreement that will bring several championships to the area over the course of several years. Cary was chosen along with Cleveland, Indianapolis, St. Louis, San Diego and San Antonio. Cary was chosen because of its combination of the facilities, track record and the partners involved. Cary has hosted several Division I soccer championships at WakeMed Soccer Park (was called SAS) and Cary's USA Baseball Complex was the sight of Division I baseball postseason games last spring. This program will likely help the RBC Center get more NCAA basketball tournament games. "There's no guarantee, but we hope it will add weight to our bids," said Scott Dupree, vice president for sports marketing at the Raleigh Convention and Visitors Bureau. The announcement brought with it five championship events over the next four years. The events include two Division I soccer championships, a Division II baseball championship, and Division II men's and women's championships in cross country and tennis. Cary already had another Division I women's soccer championship locked in and the NCAA is also including the 2009 Division I women's basketball regional at the RBC Center in Raleigh.
