CHARLOTTE, N.C. —

The CIAA Tournament ended with no major problems this year.

Close to 50,000 people came to Charlotte to celebrate the final night of the big tournament.

The huge turnout equaled good business for bar and club owners.

On Saturday night, firefighters and police were out in full force trying to make sure venues were not overpacked.

"Every year they get better – the police, the fire marshal. They have all been on their game, they have been undercover. You don't even know when they are there," said promoter James Rickmond.

During the three-day event, 21 people were arrested.

Among the arrests, six were for fighting in public, four were alcohol related and two were for robbery.

The 21 arrests are down from last year's total of 31.
