The 2010 Atlantic 10 women’s basketball tournament will be played at the Show Place Arena, an approximately 4,500-seat venue located in Upper Marlboro, Md., according to an announcement from the conference this afternoon.
The arena is located approximately 18 miles from Washington, D.C., making GW the closest A-10 school to the site of this season’s championships. The Colonials’ own Smith Center hosted the tournament in 1993 and 2005, as well as the tournament finals in 1997 and 2003.
This past season’s postseason tournament was hosted by the Charlotte 49ers in Charlotte, N.C., while the 2008 championship was held on the campus of Saint Joseph’s in Philadelphia, Pa.
