The NCAA Women’s Final Four will be held in Dallas over the weekend, and volunteers are needed to ensure all goes smoothly. The Dallas Sports Commission and the Dallas Wings are inviting neighbors to help with the tournament and with “Tourney Town,” the free four-day festival surrounding the event.

From March 30 to April 2, the Final Four will be played at the American Airlines Center, and Tourney Town will be held at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center, where games, food and giveaways are on tap for Dallas visitors from cities across the country.

Volunteers must be 18 or older and pass a background check, but they’ll get to wear official gear, including a Women’s Final Four polo and jacket. If you work two shifts at the tournament or three at the festival, you’ll be eligible to win tickets to see Taylor Swift in concert.
