Blue-lit Ferris wheel in downtown Minneapolis at night during the 2019 NCAA Final Four.
A temporary Ferris wheel illuminated downtown Minneapolis during the 2019 NCAA Final Four basketball tournament, transforming the city’s business core into a festive, light-filled gathering space. Installed near Nicollet Mall, the attraction symbolized the city’s embrace of large-scale national events and its ongoing downtown revitalization. With blue LED lights reflecting off surrounding office towers and skyways, the scene captured the blend of sports celebration and urban energy that defined Minneapolis during the tournament weekend.
