VCU Women’s Basketball takes over terminals at The Richmond International Airports

RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) -- The Virginia Commonwealth University Women's Basketball team took over the Richmond International Airport (RIC) terminal today in preparation for the Atlantic-10 conference championship.

According to RIC, the team is set to compete for the Atlantic-10 conference championship March 5-9 at the Henrico Sports and Events Center, but before they take to the tournament the team made a pit stop.

The display at the airport included a replica of the Atlantic-10 court with a hoop on display from the RIC's upper-level connector.

Perry J. Miller President and CEO of the Capital Region Airport Commission, shares just how much this event means to the community, "Today, we are especially thrilled to celebrate the Atlantic 10 Women’s Basketball Championship and the incredible student-athletes, fans, and teams who make this event so special."

If some are wondering 'why put a basketball court in such a high traffic area?' Miller shares exactly why.

“Sports have a unique way of uniting people—just like airports do. At RIC our mission is to provide all customers with an exceptional experience through convenience, innovation, and excellence, Whether you’re here to compete, to cheer on your favorite team, or simply passing through, we hope this Terminal Takeover adds some energy and fun to your journey."
