Review: The chocolate factory and the amusement park are usually the big draws for tourists, but during March the Hershey Arena serves to fill up all of those hotel rooms in the city proper and its surrounding areas. That''s because the state finals for high school basketball are always played here. If your school''s team (boys or girls)happens to win their way here, then get a room early! Many business travellers are shocked at how much excitement surrounds high school basketball and just how many supporters come from all over the state to participate in the frenzy.
