BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – IU Athletics invites IU students, alumni, and Hoosier fans to gather at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall on Monday, January 19, for IU’s official watch party as Coach Curt Cignetti’s IU Football team battles the Miami (Fla.) Hurricanes in the College Football Playoff National Championship Game.

All attendees will need a free digital ticket for admission, which can be secured HERE. Doors open at 6 p.m., and the game is scheduled to kickoff at 7:30 p.m. All seating is general admission and is available on a first-come, first-served basis. The game will be broadcast live on each of the four screens on the arena’s center-hung scoreboard, and IU Athletics will distribute 10,000 commemorative rally towels to fans as they enter the arena.

“We’re excited to offer an opportunity for those who aren’t able to make the trip to Miami to share this experience with fellow Hoosier fans,” said IU Vice President and Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Scott Dolson. “As will be the case at Hard Rock Stadium, I know that the atmosphere inside Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall on Monday night will be electric.”
