Tent City has been abandoned since COVID canceled the Big Blue Madness campout in 2020 and the university kept the gates closed to the fan event last fall. Now two-plus years removed from one of Kentucky Basketball’s best traditions, there are concerns the two-year pause could be an easy way out to end the campout altogether.
Many Kentucky fans, myself included, believe discontinuing the tradition of the Big Blue Madness campout would further separate the current times from the not-so-distant Gold Standard™ past. Good news for that crowd, one very important Tent City advocate stepped forward this week: John Calipari.
