lexington became the 21st host city, and rupp arena the 23rd host venue, for the final four. lexington is the smallest metropolitan area to host a final four, and due to the use of domed football stadiums, it is unlikely to host a final four again despite the size of rupp arena. the 1985 tournament was the last time an off-campus arena (or, for that matter, any arena) whose primary tenant was a college team was used for a tournament. (the continental airlines arena (in 1996) was the main arena for seton hall, but they were not the primary tenants.) this tournament also marks the last time a domed stadium was not used for any tournament games; before 1985, the four previous tournaments and the 1971 tournament were the only tournaments to include them. the other implication of this is that it was the only tournament between 1984 and 1993 to not feature an nfl stadium. denver was the only new city or venue host games in 1985. at the time, the city did not host a ncaa division i institution, making it just one of a handful of host cities all-time to do so. 1985 would be the last time the providence civic center would host the regional rounds; all subsequent tournaments would be early rounds. the tournament would also mark the last time the university of tulsa's mabee center would host games; the tournament would not return to the city until 2011, when the bok center hosted.

after the dissolution of the jam in 1982, drummer and writer rick buckler contacted edwards and formed time uk in 1983. from 1983 to 1985 edwards then wrote songs for time uk. time uk had a minor uk hit with "the cabaret/remember days" (which sold 60,000 copies and reached number 63 in the british charts - the original version of "the cabaret" was recorded by edwards three years earlier and released as a single with the profile) in 1983 after edwards collaborated with drummer rick buckler of the jam. the band narrowly missed a "top of the pops" performance at the bbc due to "gallup" investigating chart sales/rigging and as a result it was maintained by the singer that sales were not fairly took into account - and so an appearance was denied. the release was the first after the jam's breakup, beating weller and foxton's subsequent releases. they released another single "playground of privilege"/"puppets don't bleed" (produced by legendary producer tony visconti) which was followed by "you won't stop" on arista records (which failed to chart). bbc tv appearances also included "multi coloured swap shop". these recordings finally saw the light of day on "one more time" - a 2002 cd release which included "entertain me" and two other tracks "sunday mood" and "so say hurrah" which were recorded under the moniker -"sharp". the sharp sessions were recorded in 1986 on the unicorn label - with rick buckler and bruce foxton - the only time the bassist and drummer from the jam have been captured reunited on record since the jam. "entertain me" was sharp's only single. all songs were written by edwards. influences musically came from bowie, the jam, xtc, psychedelic furs and early pink floyd.
