Big Ten Tournament SOLD OUT



I'll wait to go to this (and I do really want to attend once) when they move it back to Indy next year.

Chicago just isn't college-sports friendly.

I went to Indy when we won the whole ****in thing. I think Chicago is a nice change of pace. Much more things to do.

The cool thing about the tournament is that everyone unloads their tickets when or if their team loses.

And how is Indy so much better?

Everything is closer together. (motels, etc)
The United Center is not in the best of areas.
The Iowa FB games @ Soldier Field were poorly run.
Indy is certainly more Midwestern and less intimidating.

I imagine Chicago is well attended since there are obviously a lot of fans in that area who would stay in the area, but perhaps not drive to Indy.

Agree with H8IAST8....you can get tix for cheap as the days progress.
 






I love that it is in Chicago. It's closer to Iowa and there so much to do there. Also there are a ton of Iowa bars. I plan on making the trip out there if they make it past the first round.

So basically we can sum this up to you're scared of black people?
 




He said "Indy is more midwestern and less intimidating" and "The arena isn't in a good area". YOu're really struggling to see how i deducted my conclusion?
 






The United Center area is ever-improving and between the Loop and the UC is now resturants and gentrified condos and upscale homes. Since the Blackhawks won the Cup in 2010, it has really picked up steam as a party area. We walked around the area after a Bulls game recently....not scary.

Not sure what constitutes a ''midwestern'' city....no ethnic groups? Yes, Chicago is a city of immigrants,from Eastern Europe, Ireland,Mexico, ect....all Iowans had to come from somewhere also,unless they are native americans.

I think going back and forth between Indy and Chicago is the sweet spot. Indy is not as centrally located as Chicago,and does not have much outside of the games. Attendance has lagged down in Indy in recent years for a reason....Chicago has the most Big Ten alums by a mile,so attendance will always be strong there.
