That's 200 more than were in Sioux Falls! (I don't know that - apologies to Mastodon fans who go to the Summit tourney.)

It's only 2 hours down I-69 from Fr. Wayne to Indy. They might get a good group to head down there - good excuse for a little mini-vacation in Indy.
I had a friend from Indiana who called Indy "the oasis in the desert".

I notice that the Horizon League has a link to their tournament on the header of the main web page. They are pushing it pretty hard.
It's either the tourney or maybe the HL has a 12th member waiting in the wings ??

The Horizon League "tournament" is only the semifinals and finals, the rest is on-campus games. I doubt that you're making realignment decisions based on a few hundred tickets--I don't think Mastodon Nation is going to make the trip to watch four other teams play.

(Northern Kentucky was mad about the tournament contract process, because they were told "no home arena bids", they worked with US Bank Arena in Cincinnati, but somehow the contract went to Farmer's Arena, IUPUI's home court.)
