INDIANAPOLIS (February 19, 2025) – The Horizon League announced another major move today ahead of the 2025 Barbasol Horizon League Basketball Championships with the return of the Valeo Fan Zone. Valeo will again serve as the title sponsor of this year’s fan zone after agreeing to a three-year extension of our partnership in 2024.
 
Why this matters: The Valeo Fan Zone enhances the fan experience on-site at the 2025 Barbasol Horizon League Basketball Championships on March 10 and 11. Fans can remain at the Indiana State Fairgrounds and Events Center between men’s and women’s sessions and take part in exciting activations.
 
Dig deeper:
  • The Valeo Fan Zone will be located in Grand Hall, directly across from the Corteva Coliseum.
  • Grand Hall will be open in-between the men’s and women’s sessions each day. On Monday, March 10, fans can visit the Valeo Fan Zone after the women’s semifinals from 4-7 p.m. before heading in to the men’s semifinal games. The Valeo Fan Zone will be open again on Tuesday, March 11 from 2-7 p.m. following the crowning of a new women’s champion and leading into the 7 p.m. men’s championship game.
  • The Valeo Fan Zone is free of charge with engagement and photo opportunities for fans to enjoy along with unique food and beverage options for purchase.
  • Local artist, Xavier Gray, will return to create another Horizon League-themed mural. This mural is in partnership with the Penrod Society.
    • Key features include custom-designed team pennants to complement the logos and six-state footprint, along with positive affirmations spread throughout.
    • The "Greetings from Naptown" stamp also adds a local touch, celebrating Indianapolis as the championship host city.
  • Work from the 300 Cameras for 300 Kids initiative will also be displayed in this year’s Valeo Fan Zone.
