Haunted Hall of Hoops - November 1st

[mamasa 15,191]

I know I'm jumping the gun, since Hoosier Hysteria hasn't been announced.  But, has anyone heard anything about the Haunted Hall of Hoops?  This event was the absolute turning point for my youngest daughter's undying fandom for IU!

Haven't heard of it.  Where and what happens?

It's usually a few days before Halloween. Kids dress up and watch IU players practice and have some fun. It has always drawn a good crowd. I believe last year it was October 27th so I would bet it's the same time frame this year. 3-4 days before Halloween

Practice is open to public.  Kids get to do a "parade" on the court, and get group pictures with the team.  Then, they go to 4 corners of Assembly Hall- all the players are there signing cards to give to the kids.  It's a really cool event- players get to really see what how the kids admire them.  Last year, Stan was just awesome!  Crean was really gracious with the kids.  It's just an awesome opportunity to attend a practice, and let the kids get even more indoctrinated :)

Depends on how much you like money and free time

It's a practice and a scrimmage. Adults get the same IU FIX benefits as they do at Hoosier Hysteria, except you can sit on floor level up close and personal.

My guess October 17th for Hoosier Hysteria and October 25th for Haunted Hall of Hoops

We want to take our 4 and 7 yr old up this year. Last year my oldest bought my youngest a small teddy bear with an IU shirt on it from his Santa Shop at school. So my youngest named him Yogi Ferrell. Gotta bring that with us.
I would love to know the exact date as well since October is a busy month and we are about an hour and a half away.

Where is this empire of which you speak?

Somewhat on topic. It's looking like Hysteria will be Saturday, October 4th according to multiple people on twitter, including the Crimson Guard account. We play North Texas at home the same day.

That is n probably accurate. It looks like the NCAA moved the 'allowance' date up 2 weeks, last summer

The Haunted Hall of Hoops will be Saturday November 1st at Noon with an open practice and scrimmage!  More BBall for us all!

Another great chance to see our Hoosiers up close and personal.

 

I like this event because it is less crowded and easier to get GREAT seats!

[IU Hoosier41 14,465]

I'll be present with the little girl. Gotta get her in Assembly before we move to Virginia!

If my family and I don't get there till 12:45, will we miss too much?
