Posted: 03/05/21 9:55 pm ::: Big Ten Tournament |

Yesterday, the B1G, made an announcement that the men’s and women’s tournaments would allow 2,500 fans at the games in Indianapolis. This is quite a departure for one of the most conservative conferences during the pandemic. (The spring sports and held over fall sports are now playing conference-only seasons.)
The women’s games probably won’t reach the 12.5% capacity of the Bankers Life Fieldhouse.

I don’t know. They are being sold through each school’s ticket office.

Poor Wisconsin was the only team to play all 20 games and ended up the final seed.

Kieger's leading scorer, Kelly Jekot, got hurt, which was a big loss. Her top incoming recruit, Leilani Kapinus, also was hurt and missed the entire season. Those two factors probably slowed down the rebuild a little but they still showed improvement, which is a good sign.

Correction: Sorry. I was linked to Michigan’s ticket office via email, but it linked further to Ticketmaster. Tickets are reserved and only sold in pods of 2 or 4. They seem to be moving OK for day 3 just by comparing to what’s available for day 1.
I really want to go, but the way we enjoy the tournament is seeing multiple games per day, hanging out with our friends, going to our favorite restaurants and stores, and visiting museums or other sites of interest. All of that is too risky for me personally. It’s also my other half’s last week of work after staying healthy through the last year of full-time home improvement retail in the pandemic (at a store that didn’t refuse maskless customers for some time). We’re so close to getting vaccinated but not there yet.
If I lived close by enough to commute and go to my team’s games only, I would go.
