Big Ten: Big Ten to Choose Tournament Home



Big Ten to Choose Tournament Home: The Big Ten Tournament will permanently reside in either Chicago or Indianapolis, depending on which site conference officials like best. After the Big Ten initiated a conference tournament in 1998, Chicago hosted it for the first four years. But the two cities have alternated as hosts since 2002. Both cities have their virtues and vices. Chicago is a huge town with a bigger facility, but that size also means that fans must travel within the city to get from one place to another. Indianapolis is a smaller market with a slightly smaller stadium, but the central downtown location allows fans to walk to restaurants, bars and the stadium from hotels. Conference officials will probably issue a decision in the spring.
