Episode 13: NCAA Mask Madness Special!

The Indianapolis region will host the entire 2021 NCAA D1 Men’s Basketball tournament! 67 games in total, six different venues, limited capacity (maximum 25%), more than 150 buses, and a much-needed boost to hotels, restaurants, and to the State of Indiana. I’m joined by two great friends of mine, Indiana Sports Corp CEO Ryan Vaughn, and Visit Indy CEO Leonard Hoops, who discuss how Indy won this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Ryan and Leonard discuss why Indianapolis is the ideal city to safely host a self-contained NCAA tournament, and talk about Indianapolis 35 year history of hosting national and international sporting events. They also give us some behind-the-scenes at what it takes to pull off an event of this magnitude, and why “sport is bigger than sport” in Indianapolis.
