College basketball game in Indiana is EVACUATED as fire alarm bizarrely sounds at Assembly Hall… with the venue left completely empty before fans return after all-clear

A college basketball game between Indiana University and the University of Wisconsin was briefly halted when a fire alarm sounded at Assembly Hall in Bloomington, Indiana.

When the game was tied at 54-54 around the ten minute mark, the alarm sounded and fans were asked to evacuate the arena.

After the teams were off the ground for a short period of time and the arena was nearly empty, the Bloomington Fire Department and IU Campus Police were able to clear the facility so people could return.

ā€œThe Bloomington Fire Department has issued an all clear following the activation of a fire alarm at Skojdt Assembly Hall this evening,ā€ IU police said in a tweet. “Fans can enter the building safely.”

With that, the fans entered the building again and play eventually resumed after a short warm-up period.
