Homecourt Hangouts The NCAA® Men’s Final Four® is coming to Indianapolis—and the whole community is invited to celebrate.

Indianapolis is hosting one of the biggest weekends in college basketball, and you don’t need game tickets to be part of the fun.

Homecourt Hangouts is a community-wide initiative inviting families, friends, neighborhoods, and community spaces across central Indiana to show their pride, decorate their spaces, and help create a city filled with Final Four energy.

Whether it’s your front porch, office breakroom, classroom, neighborhood clubhouse, or community center, a Homecourt Hangout helps build the atmosphere to get everyone excited for this epic celebration of college basketball. The goal is simple: celebrate together and encourage everyone to head downtown to enjoy the festivities, fan experiences, and events happening all weekend long. 

Decorate your space, rep your school colors, and help turn Indianapolis into the ultimate college basketball host city.

Kit submissions are full. Stay tuned if you received a kit and where to pick it up.
