Is the Indianapolis Regional at Lucas Oil using the 50yd line center court?

Or just the endzone with the curtain?

Pretty stout grouping of 4 teams all within easy driving distance of Indianapolis and strong fanbases.

Idk. A lot of times regional finals in domes are just endzone.

Center court is awesome. I'm glad they went back to that set up for final fours.

With the Superdome leading the way years ago.

NCAA was making stadiums do the middle of the field thing for a while in regionals as a dry run for hosting the Final Four. See Ford Field in 2008 prior to 2009. But, Indy probably has everything down pat by now.

I remember ford field in 08 being a center court regional final. But they had 30,000 less people there than the next year's final four.

Scalpers in Indy hit the damn jackpot.

Meanwhile the scalpers here in Memphis are going to be broke

fricking Kansas and Syracuse blew it

Tennessee is the furthest team away at a 5 hour drive from Knoxville.

Kentucky and Michigan State played on Ford Field in 2003 and set some attendance record.

78,000+ for a regular season CBB is pretty damn impressive.

One thing that I still can't get used to with the 50 yard line setup is the elevated court. I always sit there and think it's an accident waiting to happen. I didn't get to see Kevin Ware's injury live last year but when someone told me about it I thought, "Please don't let it be him jumping off the platform wrong!"

Vandy has had an elevated court for like ever and I can't recall an injury because of it.

The issue with playing in big football stadiums is sometimes the sight lines for shooting can be a pain to get used to.

I knew they played on a platform but it's pretty far away from the ground floor compared to the football stadiums.
