Indianapolis has been selected to host a regional round of the 2013 NCAA men’s basketball tournament, the NCAA announced today.

The games will be played March 29 and March 31, 2013, at Lucas Oil Stadium.

The 2013 regional winner will go on to play in the Final Four tournament at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta.

The Indianapolis-based NCAA had previously selected Indianapolis to host the Final Four in 2010 and 2015. In addition, the city will host women’s Final Fours in 2011 and 2016.

The NCAA also announced today that the men's Final Four in 2011 will be played at Reliant Stadium in Houston.

The 2012 Final Four will be played at the Superdome in New Orleans.

The NCAA also chose most of the host sites for the early rounds in 2011-2013:

— In 2012, the early sites are Albuquerque, N.M.; Columbus, Ohio; Greensboro, N.C.; Louisville; Nashville, Tenn.; Omaha, Neb.; Pittsburgh and Portland, Ore. The regional sites are Atlanta, Phoenix, Boston and St. Louis.

— In 2013, the early-round sites Dayton, Ohio; Auburn Hills, Mich.; Lexington, Ky.; Salt Lake City; San Jose, Calif.; Austin, Texas; Kansas City, Mo.; and Philadelphia.

  1. First, the Athenaeum is going to have to get past the hurdle with the Lockerbie residents and the agreement that the parcel would be residential. Second, and in my opinion, this prime piece of property should include parking, PLUS, a black box theater(s), some market rate and affordable artist housing and a plan to renovate and reconfigure the second story theater. I would negotiate to add the DeHaan property surface parking lot into the development mix, place a one story surface parking garage on the DeHaan lot on the street level (for the Dehaan tenants use during the daytime) and add a second story to the garage that would become an addition to the current second story theater and then change the direction of the theater by moving the stage across the alley and on top of the DeHaan lot parking. You can add all the stage elements that are currently missing from the Athenaeum stage to make it more attractive for use by Ballet, Opera and traveling productions. Plus, the theater changes would probably help solve some of the soundproofing issues. Alas,it does not seem to be a part of the strategic plan to conduct a study to determine best use of the property. Seems like the current plan is a quick and easy move that ignores the property best use/potential and any strategic property planning for the effect on future generations.

  2. I recall that MSA's pilings are still in the ground and hard to remove. It’s not likely any proposal will include significant underground construction/parking because of this. Start adding 2 floors of retail, 8 floors of parking and 5-10 floors of possible hotel, and/or 10-20 floors of residential, and you are at 30 floors already with possible expansion of all the uses. But then again I could be wrong.

  3. Accoriding to their website there is no deadline to the Do Not Call list. What is this article referring to??

  4. On what planet are they entitled to this largesse from the stockholders? These people make multi-million dollar salaries: Pay for your own personal travel.

  5. It matters because they're already paid enormously fat salaries: Pay for your own personal travel. Being "taxed on it" isn't a valid excuse--so what? They're still being gifted a raft of luxury perks from somebody else's money on top of an enormous, lavish salary.
