INDIANAPOLIS — Right now, Lucas Oil Stadium is full. Like, overflowing. Even the folks sitting in the corners of the upper deck, hundreds of feet from the court, are crammed into their seats. At least the NCAA was gentlemanly enough to put a seat cushion on every chair.
But none of those fans—not even the one with the worst seat in Lucas Oil Stadium—are sitting above the press box, which is in a very normal spot for football games but is insanely high up to cover basketball. Check out photographer Ian Soileau's photo below, taken about 30 minutes before Butler-Michigan State got underway, which shows just how cavernous this arena is.
Don't feel too bad for Ian, though. He'll be photographing Duke-West Virginia from significantly closer than that.
