IU Scott Posted November 16, 2020 Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 Kind of wonder what facilites they will use and wonder if any fans at all will be allowed. You would have bankers Life, Hinkle, the fair grounds has a gym that IUPUI plays at. I doubt they would use Lucas Oil since it is to big without fans.

GaloisGroupe Posted November 16, 2020 Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 The metropolitan area may be defined large enough to include IU, PU,... Dayton?... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of big high school gyms in the area and I would Iove it to be in New castle and allow fans because I would be there. I have not had a chance to go to the tournament since 2003 because they pretty much priced me out of going. I use to go every year in Indy when they have the first and second round. The first year in 89 the total cost was $48 for all sessions. the Last time in 2003 the cost was $135 for all sessions. The last time we had it here I checked and the cheapest I saw was like $300 for all sessions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotIThatLives Posted November 16, 2020 Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 Going to be interesting by March/april if any fans are allowed at all. Especially since I already ordered 4 final four tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaroonRebel Posted November 16, 2020 Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 Skillman Court at Nicoson Hall, Bankers Life Fieldhouse, Hinkle Fieldhouse, Indiana Farmers Coliseum, Lucas Oil Stadium, plus Assembly Hall 50 minutes outside of Indy. PU to the north. If there is no crowd to move, it makes the turn over much faster. Indy would be a perfect city for a single city tournament.

5fouls Posted November 17, 2020 Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 A little extra pressure for the Hoosiers to make the tournament. It's entirely possible that none of the other D1 schools make it this year. How embarrassing would it be for the state to hose the entire tournament and not have a single team in it.

jv1972iu Posted November 17, 2020 Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 It's certainly a great idea/concept. But now let's see how the regular season goes and how the virus comes into play over the winter. I'm not encouraged at the moment. 😑 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted November 19, 2020 Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 It just hit me. If this NCAA concept to play the entire tournament in Indy does come to pass, they will have to move the Boys High School Championship to another location.

Well this is only because there are no fans at the games. Otherwise they wouldn’t do it this way. I’m not sure how many basketball floors they can fit in the convention center but a ton of games could be held there simultaneously. They don’t even need to go to the surrounding gyms necessarily. Just throw a curtain between the floors and it’s AAU basketball essentially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be surprised if they didn’t do this to some extent. Kinda like the nba bubble they had multiple games at the same time while they were finishing up the regular season.
