ST. LOUIS – The Missouri Valley Conference will conduct its 31st St. Louis-based postseason men's basketball tournament when the State Farm MVC Tournament takes the hardwood at Enterprise Center, on Thursday-Sunday, March 4-7, 2021.
In compliance with St. Louis Board of Health Department guidelines, this year's event will feature reduced seating capacity at Enterprise Center with only 1,400 socially distanced seats available in the lower bowl. A limited number of tickets will be available via the Illinois State Athletics Ticket office beginning at 10 a.m. CT on Friday, February 12. Illinois State season ticket holders will have until Wednesday, February 17, to put in their requests for tickets by calling the ticket office at (309) 438-8000.
The State Farm MVC Tournament, also known uniquely as "Arch Madness" to Valley fans, will be played at Enterprise Center for the 27th time. The Enterprise Center will be cleared of fans as soon as possible upon each contest's conclusion, with the exception of the championship game on March 7, so that disinfecting and sanitization can occur prior to doors opening for the next contest. All tickets will be digital and available on guests' mobile devices to allow for no-touch scanning of tickets at entry.
Important changes to the game day experience at Enterprise Center also include: face coverings which must be worn at all times, bags no longer permitted and the facility is a now cash-free environment. The complete list of new guidelines and procedures can be found at //enterprisecenter.com/safety.
