The Chainsmokers performed between Final Four games; is that a good idea?
· Yahoo Sports
INDIANAPOLIS -- The NCAA Tournament featured a musical act between the Final Four games at Lucas Oil Stadium and social media was not in favor.
The concert was broadcast and is an effort to appeal to more casual fans.

"It's an event our clients are asking us for now," Dave Aussenberg, a music sponsorship agent at CAA, said of the musical roster with March Madness in Hollywood Reporter. "When the festival was first conceptualized, it was a nice-to-have complement to a weekend of basketball, but it's growing so much. ... People want entertainment, they want to make a weekend out of an event like this."
The reviews of playing the college basketball semifinals and national championship received mixed reviews.

Whoever thought having a Chainsmokers concert in between Final Four games was a good idea needs to be fired. pic.twitter.com/LmpJ8CWBn1

I still like the Final Four in football stadiums because it gets a lot more real fans in the door. Smaller setups mean a greater percentage of celebrities and neutrals who don't really care, pricing out fans. https://t.co/c2iJifZBMA

Maybe a hot take but I kinda like it?

Lucas Oil is packed to the brim and very loud (shoutout Illinois fans). If they can sell it out, I don’t see the issue.
Imagine the tickets prices for tonight if it was in an NBA arena. https://t.co/akJduZamDO
Basketball in a football arena is the worst viewing experience on earth. https://t.co/qnicRzfHtx

Nothing against the people performing, and it’s just my opinion, but….

Dear NCAA,
We don’t need or want a concert between the two semifinal games.
Put the appropriate time on the clock, let the teams warm up and play ball!
Thank you!
