Boilermaker Fan Headquarters to be set up in downtown Indianapolis during Big Ten Tournaments

February 5, 2010

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - The Purdue Alumni Association, in partnership with the John Purdue Club, will host the Boilermaker Fan Headquarters at Scotty's Brewhouse in downtown Indianapolis during the men's and women's Big Ten Tournaments.

The Big Ten Women's Tournament will take place March 4-7, and the Big Ten Men's Tournament will take place March 11-14, both at Conseco Fieldhouse.

Scotty's Brewhouse is located at 1 Virginia Ave. in Indianapolis. On days when Purdue is playing, there will be a pep rally and party at Scotty's. Purdue Alumni Association staff and Purdue VIPs will be stopping by. The first 300 people to arrive at the headquarters prior to the first Purdue game of the men's and women's tournaments will receive rally towels. There is no cost to attend.

Purdue alumni also will follow both teams during NCAA tournament play. The Purdue Alumni Association Web site, at https://www.purduealum.org/basketball, will have information on sites where the association will be hosting fans during the tournament. The site also will offer helpful tips regarding parking, hotels and where to get fan gear.

If you can't attend but still want to be a part of the action, you can stay up-to-date with the teams by following their official Twitter feeds. Follow the men's team at https://twitter.com/PurdueMensHoops and the women's team at https://twitter.com/purduewhoops
