Scanner frequencies for NCAA Big Ten Basketball games

Major sporting events such as NCAA Big Ten basketball games draw thousands of fans to campus for each home game. These games provide great scanning opportunities as there is a wide variety of radio usage related to the games including arena operations, parking, police, fire/ems, towing, shuttle buses, media, etc. This page serves to display the local trunked systems and frequencies where these game related operations occur on one single page.

This page is by no means complete and local listeners are encouraged to add or correct any of the information presented here.  
The University of Illinois information is complete but the rest is simply what could be ascertained by viewing the Radioreference.com
forums, the Radioreference.com   database, and other scanning websites.  Some information is just a suggested list of scanner
targets until more accurate radio usage can be determined. 


The Big Ten holds FCC license WPUP497 which lists four itinerant frequencies to be used at temporary locations around the United States. Whether these frequencies are ever used for basketball games is unclear.

For frequency information regarding the Big Ten Network, see the Big Ten Network Radioreference.com wiki page.

[edit] Illinois

Assembly Hall (link):

  • 464.525 (100.0 PL) Assembly Hall main operations
  • 463.350 (DCS506) Assembly Hall security
  • As of Fall 2007, U of I PD now exclusively uses the MDICE TRS TG 22503 "INCIDENT 4" for events at the Assembly Hall. They don't use 453.250 (118.8) at all for Assembly Hall details anymore.
Note: Most of the Assembly Hall details during the 2007-2008 season have been on INCIDENT 4 and a few on INCIDENT 1 with no apparent reason why one was used versus the other.


[edit] Iowa

Police use the Iowa City Motorola TRS. The University of Iowa is licensed for many 453 MHz frequencies so a quick search through them may find some game related activity.

It wouldn't hurt to monitor the Michigan State University 800 MHz Motorola Type II TRS. Special event parking is listed in the Radioreference database as being on 462.600 (162.2), {which interestingly is a GRMS frequency}.
