March Madness has come to Indianapolis, and it’s not just the Final Four. Today we find out how tournament organizers are holding all 67 games of the tournament in one city, and whether it's possible to host a large-scale sporting event safely during a global pandemic.

We also talk to an epidemiologist about the public safety concerns some people have, and find out how other sports organizations have handled hosting large events.
