How has Fort Wayne turned into a road game?

[Aaron 4,302]

I distinctly remember when the IU-Fort Wayne game was announced that IU was in charge of ticket distribution and it would be considered a neutral site game. Now all of the sudden it is being referred to as a 'road game' by every fan, media and person talking about it. What happened?

While it helps IU for KenPom and the RPI to consider it a "road game", when it is not even in Fort Wayne's regular gym and will be 3/4 IU fans it should go down as a neutral site win as was talked about when game was announced.

Looks like we got a cushier deal than we thought getting something called a 'road game' that was never suppose to be:).

I could be completely wrong here, but I think it was supposed to be at the Coliseum up in Ft. Wayne, not at IPFW.

It looks like IPFW technically has two home arenas. If you look their schedule, they play 7 home games in the Coliseum.

Yeah, I live here in Fort Wayne.  For years the Coliseum was their home court but they couldn't get the fans to show up so they have went back to playing the majority of their games at their gym on campus.

The Memorial Coliseum will be all IU fans next Tuesday. I'll be one of them!

This is going to feel like a home game. I'll be getting wasted in the parking lot before the game, if anyone wants to come say hello. I'll offer up a friendly BTB members only shot.
