Has there been an announcement about whether or not there is going to be a specific section that most of the ISU fans will be in? I was looking to buy tickets and wanted to check to see first.
Dec. 17 against Illinois State at Gainbridge Fieldhouse as part of the Indy Classic. The new downtown Indianapolis event will replace the Crossroads Classic, which featured games between Butler, Indiana, Notre Dame and Purdue for more than a decade. Now, it’s Ball State’s turn to get in on the fun. Illinois State embarrassed Ball State last season, leading by as many as 30 points in an eventual 85-64 defeat. Outside of a trip to the Bahamas, the rest of Ball State’s nonconference schedule includes games against the likes of Earlham, IU-South Bend, Duquesne and Chicago State. I’ll take a Missouri Valley team inside an NBA arena. It should be a good measuring stick game for Ball State. — Robby General
Don't forget parking in downtown Indy ain't cheap!!!Those ticket prices are insane.
If I remember correctly, the last time Illinois State played at Illinois my ticket was $35 for a nosebleed seat. That was almost 20I've often wondered what the reaction would be when the fantasy of joining an elite conference intersected with the reality of having to pay elite conference price$$$. The early returns are starting to come in.
Ahh, Illinois! Well, let me tell you. The lower bowl on the side for Wisconsin goes for a paltry $395. Sounds cheaper than $400, doesn't it? So if you're a cheapskate you may want to sit under the basket for a mere $195. If you have good eyeballs and don't get nosebleeds you can go upstairs and have the privilege of paying only $70 to $75. Nice they take care of the little guy.

years ago. Can’t imagine how much that nosebleed seat would cost this year. Or how much a lower bowl seat would cost.
So what you’re saying is “$74 to watch Illinois State play a game, followed by Big Ten Purdue play a game in an NBA arena is not insane”?Ahh, Illinois! Well, let me tell you.

Yes. And if the forecast is decent I'll meet up with my daughter down there. Love Indy/Broad Ripple!So what you’re saying is “$74 to watch Illinois State play a game, followed by Big Ten Purdue play a game in an NBA arena is not insane”?
Do the Aztecs still play at Jack Murphy Stadium? I moved from San Diego in 1988 so hopefully this isn’t to dumb of a question.Those seats are cheap all things considered. I now live in San Diego and this is a screen shot of a San Diego State home game this week vs BYU "From $173" that I'm considering going to.
And this is the Mountain West Conference! If you want to buy season tickets, it's a minimum $10,000 donation to then be able to buy up to 2 ticket and then you pay full retail for each game on top of that. Again, this is Mountain West Conference, not a Power 5 conference.
Although I'm hearing that San Diego State may very well be joining the Pac 12 after USC and UCLA go to the Big 10 (which is bad for college sports in my opinion).
Jack Murphy Stadium has been demolished.Do the Aztecs still play at Jack Murphy Stadium? I moved from San Diego in 1988 so hopefully this isn’t to dumb of a question.
So....yes?Jack Murphy Stadium has been demolished.

Purdue might be the best team in the country, so that’s turned into a pretty good deal.BOGO tickets for the Indy game until 11/28. From a Gainbridge Fieldhouse email:
Buy One Get One Free, on all Indy Classic tickets $74 and below, with the code CYBER. Bring a friend or take the family to witness this men's college basketball doubleheader as the Ball State Cardinals face the Illinois State Red Birds, followed by the Purdue Boilermakers taking on the Davidson Wildcats at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Saturday, December 17.
This offer lasts through Cyber Monday, November 28. Buy now to be a part of Indy’s next basketball tradition!
Apples and oranges. Nobody should gave to pay over $10 to watch a 280RPI Illinois State play a very unsexy opponent, but you try and use that avoid moving the program forward. It doesn’t matter anyway, the current administration only cares about women’s sports.I've often wondered what the reaction would be when the fantasy of joining an elite conference intersected with the reality of having to pay elite conference price$$$.
