There are several exits to take off I-70, we took 79B to Madison Ave., but 79B also has a turn onto S. Illinois. DAR photographer Paul Davis, who is from Indianapolis, likes to take exit 79A onto West Street, making a left at Missouri Street, then a right at South Street which runs into Delaware, which is a one-way street. The parking garage is on the right side of Delaware across from the Fieldhouse and costs $12 ($6 for rooftop parking).

The drive is all four-lane highway from Bluff to Indy and it takes 6 hours, but Indiana is an hour ahead. When I went to the game Friday to cover Hansbrough's debut, my wife, Jennifer, drove and we took Jack along. I spent the entire game shooting photos, which you can view here.
