The stated capacity is 52,929, which is stadium scale — the floor and the concourse matter more to an event than the seat count does.

Access and arrival
63 km (39 mi) to Indianapolis International Airport (IND) is far enough to change the shape of the programme: a first morning session will lose the people who flew in that day.
1.7 km (1.1 mi) out from the middle of Bloomington — close enough to book a downtown hotel block, far enough that people will expect transport laid on after dark.
Bloomington has 24 venues mapped in total and a population of 79,986. The Bloomington guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
The kind of event it takes
A room this size is a plenary and nothing else. Keynotes, awards and general sessions work; the breakouts, the exhibition and the catering all have to happen somewhere else, so the venue is really the anchor of a campus rather than the whole event.
- award ceremonies
A stage, a bowl of seats and a control room already in place.
- festivals
An audience of 52,929 is festival scale, not conference scale.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
