ST. LOUIS – The Missouri Valley Conference will conduct its 31st St. Louis-based postseason men's basketball tournament when the State Farm MVC Tournament takes the hardwood at Enterprise Center, on Thursday-Sunday, March 4-7, 2021.  The State Farm MVC Tournament, also known uniquely as "Arch Madness" to Valley fans, will be played at Enterprise Center for the 27th time.

In compliance with St. Louis Board of Health Department guidelines, this year's event will feature reduced seating capacity with only 1,400 socially distanced seats available in the lower bowl at Enterprise Center. 
 
As a result, tickets will only be available via institutional ticket box offices beginning at 10 a.m. (Central) on Friday, February 12.  All tickets will be digital and available on guests' mobile devices.  Mobile ticketing will allow for no-touch scanning of tickets at entry.

Missouri State fans may purchase Arch Madness tickets by phone at (417) 836-7678 or in person at the Old Missouri Bank Box Office at JQH Arena, starting at 10 a.m. Friday.
