Back in the day the gyms were packed on Friday and Saturday nights.

Oh yeah...Seymour used to pack them in too. I think they still use that as a regional or semi-state location some years.

Before class basketball took over...I grew up in Indy and our sectional was at Hinkle Fieldhouse at Butler University. That also was the site of the regional and I believe, semi state as well. The sectional was incredible because almost all of the big city schools played there so you would see a lot of talented players in one venue on multiple nights.

I'm glad to see that big crowd at New Castle because I know attendance at sectionals has been dwindling over the years.
