IU Scott Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 Wondering how people will be able to buy the tickets and how much of the general public will get in. I assume the prices will be the same as usual and not lower them for this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3Ballin Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 Tickets will be about $5,100 each in Bloomington if they want to break even on ticket sales. Additionally, a bucket of popcorn will be $450 and $575 for a coke. You don't want to know how much a pizza will be. 🧏♂️🙅♂️ 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU med team. What a joke. They are testing students twice a week. There is no reason for students to not be allowed in AH to watch IU play. They dont talk about the 200 house parties around town every night. Its smoke and mirrors for the media to make it look like IU is doing wonders. They are not. Campus police arent even breaking up parties anymore. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IowaHoosierFan Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 I am not at all surprised by the IU administration any more. I assume they would be just as happy not having a basketball program if they could get away with it. It honestly feels like they go out of their way to look incompetent. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 (edited) This is embarrassing and I for one hope when we get in the tourney we get sent to Hinkle or elsewhere where somehow 25% capacity will be maxed out. McRobbie and a few others can't exit stage left soon enough. I'd almost applaud the tourney being moved from Assembly Hall.

Absolute joke. Glad they can play for sure...but seasons should be done. Good friend of mine's son is a junior and is attracting scholarship offers in football and baseball. Which one to play this spring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierFaithful Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 In a former life I worked in and around Bloomington/Monroe Co government. While IU holds great sway, at the end of the day, some decisions that you're seeing that you may attribute to them are actually made by local/state governments and IU has to follow along.

Its a little outa the box, but hear me out.....we play the 1st 2 rounds of the tourney at Home Depots, Menards, Lowes and Walmarts all over the state. Each store gets one game per round. I would bet my ex's left leg that there are more than 500 people in any number of those places at one time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jojo123 Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 Absolutely pathetic. Still playing politics with sports and the plandemic. And we wonder why our basketball program has fallen so far. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
