Personally, I think that marching band and drum corps follows BOA and DCI in being in Indianapolis. But there are so many groups that Lucas Oil Stadium couldn't host every division.
Using the number of groups in each division last year, and assuming that MB and DC follow DCI timing and DL and WG follow WGI timing, you would need a stadium for DIII Drum corps, DIII Marching band, DII/DI Drum corps, DII/DI Marching band, DIII/DII/DI Drumline, and DIII/DII/DI winterguard.
So, with all of that, these are the stadiums I think are used:
DIII/DII/DI Drumline: Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall (Bloomington, IN) cap. 17,257
DIII/DII/DI Winterguard: Bankers Life FIeldhouse (Indianapolis, IN) cap. 18,345
DIII Marching Band: Indiana State Memorial Stadium (Terre Haute, IN) cap. 12,764
DIII Drum Corps: Carroll Stadium (Indianapolis, IN) cap. 12,111
DII/DI Marching Band: Memorial Stadium (Bloomington, IN) cap. 53,500
DII/DI Drum Corps: Lucas Oil Stadium (Indianapolis, IN) cap. 70,000
What do you think?
