Yep.

You heard that right.

March Madness, which will be hosted across Indiana at various venues, will allow 25% capacity at the venues.

That means, in the first time in over a year this March, Mackey Arena will have fans.

While COVID is still a major problem in the United States - the NCAA believes with the continued acceleration of vaccinations, continued herd immunity occurring and the ability to spread fans out, 25% is doable.
