Seems like a nice card. That is an awesome looking venue.

These teams are very fortunate to play in this. AWESOME facility!!!

If your team is playing in this... go. It's an unreal gym. Never been in anything like it.

 

If you have a little extra time, New Castle is not far from the place they used as Hickory's home gym in Hoosiers.

 

Saw both on a trip up there a couple years ago; had a great time.

Are there presale tickets available to this event?

Largest high school gym in America, I believe.

If you have a little extra time, New Castle is not far from the place they used as Hickory's home gym in Hoosiers.

 

Only about 25 minutes apart, I believe. Would be an awesome experience.
