Project Highlights:
Basketball reigns supreme in Indiana, having a long-standing tradition that tells the stories of legends such as George McGinnis, Oscar Robertson, Larry Bird and Reggie Miller. With its “throwback” look, Conseco Fieldhouse allows the history of yesteryear to connect with the high-flying action and modern technology of today’s game.
The new 750,000 SF sports and entertainment venue, which seats 18,500, features a retro-style exterior appearance complemented by state-of-the-art amenities. Unlike its predecessor, Market Square Arena, entry is on street level through the Entry Pavilion, an arching 140-foot glass-and-steel dome. An exciting retro-modern design dominates the interior including exposed steel beams supporting a massive roof. Seating is divided into levels ranging including courtside, club, balcony and 2 levels of suites.
Conseco Fieldhouse is the home of the NBA’s Indiana Pacers. Other events held here include World Championship Boxing, Circuses, Concerts, Gymnastics, Hockey, Indoor Soccer, Swimming and other family events.
