We went for a fuel game and were treated to a suite view, which was lovely for a first time visit. It wasn't well marked so we had quite a bit of trouble finding the suite, but after asking several security and staff we were directed to the right place. It might be beneficial to have more maps or signs for those searching for spots. The overall feel was good and the space seems great on the inside. We did have the same parking issues as others, so in future would choose to browse at IKEA and then walk over. It saves hassle and frustration plus you get some exercise as well! It might be great after continued improvements. My only real concern was the food waste. Our suite had some left over cookies and snacks and we were encouraged to take those or they would be thrown away. Sure, the brownies especially were good. As we were leaving we were told the security guards would not let us leave with food. Huh? Why not? No explanation. So if I understand, if you buy food inside you best eat it promptly or you can't take it with you? This not only encourages food waste but also seems rather unfair. Why then would I choose to buy food here if I can't take it with me? I appreciate not being able to bring food inside but this policy should be reviewed and updated. I'm fine if they want to give the food away, have a local shelter take it for animals but I am not ok with mass quantities of food waste. Especially just because. I'd love to see this center create a way to handle this in a responsible way, or if nothing else let people take the food they have purchased from the building. It was a lovely spot but there are still some areas to update and review. read more

You can catch many a sports game or concert here, so be sure to keep the Fishers Event Center for your next weekend plans. They host Indy Ignite (women's VB), Indy Fuel (hockey), and Fishers Freight (indoor football). Tickets are around $20-40 depending on the game and your seats. Concerts are usually more, but that's expected. There's truly not a bad seat in the stadium though. They're also pretty well padded. They also have decent food options here. At my recent visit, I got an ice cream sandwich with chocolate chip cookies, dippin dots, and a burger and fries. All inhaled too quickly to snap a pic. All very nice looking and tasty food. Price wise, it's about when you'd expect for stadium food. What's cool about attending an Indy Fuel game is that they sometimes have free skate after games! The skates are free and available based on shoe size, but it looks like they have a decent size selection ranging from youth sizes up through adult sizes (my partner had a men's 11). It's kind of crowded so it's not great if you're not as confident on the ice. The Fuel players also skate around a bit out there too so it's a really cool way to meet them! read more

Fishers Event Center - Snoopy on Peanuts night with an ice cream cookie sandwich! - Performing Arts Near Me - Fishers, Indiana

Fisher's Event Center is a really nice venue. I've had the chance to visit multiple times, both for Indy Ignite pro volleyball games and for a John Legend concert, and each experience has been great. Before becoming a season ticket holder for this year's Indy Ignite volleyball season, I spent last season buying tickets in different sections just to see what the views were like around the arena. Honestly, there really isn't a bad seat in the place. No matter where you sit, you still feel close to the action. The same held true for the John Legend concert, the layout makes it feel intimate even during larger events. The seating can also feel a little snug when it's a packed house, but that's fairly common in arenas and doesn't take away much from the overall experience. The food is a bit on the pricier side (which is pretty typical for event venues), but I do appreciate the variety. There are plenty of options including hot dogs, pizza, chicken sandwiches, pulled pork sandwiches, pretzels, Ben's Pretzels (which are definitely their own thing!), alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, and even ice cream. Parking is also pretty easy to navigate. You can purchase a pass in advance, or simply park and scan the QR code to pay. There's no assigned parking, but you do need to enter your license plate number to avoid getting ticketed. The only downside is that getting out of the parking lot after events can take a bit of time when it's really busy, though I'm not sure how much more could realistically be done to improve that. Overall, it's a well-designed venue with great sightlines, solid food options, and convenient parking. I'm looking forward to spending many more nights here cheering on the Indy Ignite. read more

To hell with Fishers Event Center. Food and drinks are wildly overpriced when going to see second-rate sport teams. Parking is confusing and the signage about paying for parking is nearly nonexistant and incredibly easy to miss when you are worried about getting to the event on time and not getting run over by other guests in their massive trucks. Then several weeks after the event they send you a $31 parking violation fee. This is utter nonsense, parking needs to be more clear. I will not return to this facility due to this sub par experience. read more

Fantastic venue! I attended John Legend concert and prior to that had attended Indy Fuel Hockey game. During the Fuel game, not a bad seat in the house. As a concert venue, most seating is pretty good. Had floor seats for Legend which can have less favorable views as you're seated back further (not surprisingly) They serve really great quality foods, a step about your normal venue fare. My BF had a smash-burger w fries which was absolutely delicious! If it's your thing, they have a liquor bar w specialty drinks and beers. I found concessions to move very quickly, even during the Legend concert which was notably more people-packed and action-packed compared to the Fuel game. Parking can be a problem- I see that is one of the most complained about issues. I can't comment fairly on parking- I can walk to this venue therefore did not need to mess with this situation however it is easy to see how quickly things can back up. That being said highly recommend building in more time to arrive and park so that you don't miss the show. read more

Very cool venue. We were here for an Indy ignite, major league volleyball game, they also are the home of the Indy fuel hockey team. Smallish Arena, with lots of vendors on top for food and drinks. A really great location for a group event. I was also here for a traveling show last fall where they had chairs on the floor and it was a really nice up. Close venue. Nice bowl shape seats are comfortable, and seems like good side lines from anywhere in the arena. read more

Indy Fuel games are one of my favorite things to do in Indiana during the winter! I can go with my boyfriend, family, or friends! It's great for everyone, and it's such a fun environment. There's really not a bad seat in the house. I love the new Event Center, and it's closer to us than where they used to play! Parking is much easier, and it's continent to be able to pay ahead of time. Food and drinks are expensive, so we like to go on the 317 Wednesday games to get a little bit more bang for your buck. We also buy our tickets closer to game time if we can to get better deals on resale tickets! read more

I've been to this new venue 5 times. Highlights of the good and bad: - Wide array of food and beverage options (though, very expensive) - Bathrooms weren't always clean or stocked with the necessities (even toward to the beginning of an event). This seems to have improved over time. - The parking situation is a nightmare. While improvements have been made (thankfully, it no longer takes us well over an hour to get out of the venue area), it's just an awful situation for everyone. For a brand new event center, I'm confused why it was structured this way when it's not that large of a lot. - Paying to park in this nightmare lot feels a bit unhinged? It's not cheap parking and half the time, the pay ahead link doesn't work (even though it's cheaper to pay ahead). - The security process for entering has become more efficient over time, which is a plus! - Small seats. As an average sized person, I find the space really uncomfortable. I typically can't wait to get out of there. While I want to support the teams that are housed there (go Ignite, Fuel, and Freight!), every time I've been to the event center has left me wondering why I return. Got a great sunset pic though! read more

Went to the professional Bull riding championship and what a nice facility. It was a well attended event. I'd have to say things are pretty well organized with parking and the bip parking pass is worth it for easy entry and exiting is faster, the food line is pretty quick and it's good although on the pricier side, and they have a wide variety like frozen flavored lemonades, 2 gourmet and plain popcorn, bottled water, ice cream sandwiches and drumsticks, pizza, chicken fingers hot gos and smash burgers with condiments. The restrooms are easily accessible and clean plus some are large for a family to use. Seating in the stadium is comfortable padded sest flip up chairs. There's plenty of room in your seat and railing along aisles for those that need extra support and aisles are good. Attenders filed out to exit pretty well and we didn't have to wait to exit. Nice venue. All of the workers were great too! Also reservations for parking and tickets are super easy to get ahead of time! Everything is well marked for sections and rows. We could see well and they have a huge Jumbotron with viewing from all angles. Great place! read more

We were recently at my daughter's high school graduation at this venue. My 90+ year old parents were with us. There is only one elevator in the entire center and no escalators. The line of folks with walkers, wheelchairs and general reasons for not being capable of climbing stairs wrapped around the hallway. It took no less than 30-40 minutes for us to get on the elevator and we were more towards the front of the line. One poor elderly woman could no longer stand up and her daughter asked if she could sit in one of the wheelchairs sitting under the stairs. She was told no. This is absolutely unacceptable. Why build a huge, brand new event center with such poor accommodations for disabled people. read more

Overall, my first visit to the Fishers Event Center to see John Legend was a good experience. The staff we encountered were polite and professional. Getting through security and to our seats was a breeze. There were plenty of concession options, with prices comparable to other event centers. The center is small enough to feel intimate, yet large enough to offer plenty of seating and great views. My only real complaint was getting to the center from the interstate and dealing with parking. It seemed like there was only one main way in, which led to long wait times and made parking a headache. read more

First and foremost, I had NO clue that there was a local hockey team. The facility looks fairly new and was well kept. The bathroom was clean. We were greeted when we walked in. Parking was $10 by scanning the QR code in the parking lot. The food was of course overpriced. I got a pretzel and it actually made me sick to my stomach. This was my first hockey game. It was really fun. We had decent seats. I hate that ticket master charges so many fees. I didnt see the family pack until after I already checked out. That was WAY cheaper. I'd definitely go back again. read more

We attended this location for a field trip for a student centered event. The location was well taken care of clean and the bathrooms looked good. I think this is a great location for other events, but I'm not sure the set up they had for this event was very good because it was all too tightly packed for the amount of attendees. I would definitely go here for another event to try it out. read more

My husband and I stopped in here last month to see Crime Junkie on tour. He surprised me with tickets as part of a fun weekend he planned for our anniversary. Absolutely loved the show! The visuals from the screens were great, the sound quality from the mics was great, and the seats were comfortable. The bathrooms were spacious and clean. They had plenty of concessions for people to get drinks and basic snacks from, as well as other vendors geared more toward actual food (we saw one right when we walked in that had Philly cheesesteaks and they smelled good). I also loved that the popcorn box didn't not spill smaller pieces all over the floor like the ones at Butler events do. We didn't have anyone seated next to us in our row, which ended up being really nice. We were in the front row that had the ledge in front of it that separated the seats from the floor, so we were able to use it to set our drinks on and didn't have to hold them the whole time. We also were able to angle ourselves more towards the stage without bumping into anyone, but I do think it would have been a bit tight if we had gone to a sold out event or just had other people seated right next to us. Our other major qualm was the parking.... It took a little bit to get into the parking lot, but once we did it was fine and we had no trouble getting inside. Attendants were everywhere to help guide cars in and people inside the building to have tickets scanned. Leaving was a completely different story. It took us 40 minutes to get out of the parking lot. We had planned to eat dinner at Chatham Tap in Fishers (nearby), but we ended up arriving 7 minutes after their kitchen had already closed because it took so long to get out of the parking lot. Because of that, I am not in any rush to return here for an event. read more

First time coming to this new event center. Very nice venue! If you know where IKEA is then you can make it there easy. It's across the street. Check for the QR codes to pay for parking. I don't know why it's $10 to park on a surface lot right next to the building. Be sure you stay and have your license plate number. It was easy to navigate, but I had to walk back a little bit to put my plate number in. It says you can get a parking citation if you don't. It's really nice inside and has a lots of food options. I saw popcorn, nachos, smash burgers, hotdogs as the main food choices. Restrooms were easy to find and it was pretty simple to find your seat. They have a gift shop that was busy and hard to move around in. We wanted to look around more but it was really busy. Nice view of the court from our seats and Pepper the Indy Ignite mascot was all over. Although some of us wanted to get our picture with her and she bypassed us and a few others and never came back. :-( We were right next to her too. Lol The Orlando Valkyries mascot came up and we got our picture with her. Nice venue and can't wait to come back to see the Indy Fuel and Fishers Fright play. read more

This is a brand new facility which just opened a few months ago- and I finally had an opportunity to watch the Indy Ignite game here. The Good: it's near the highway and easy access. If you an IKEA fan, score! The facility is clean, decent size. All the staff working there were nice and friendly. The not-so-good: as others are saying, $10 for parking. This is really the only option for this venue, unless you are willing to walk some. This is partially lack of my preparation too, but upon entering, I couldn't find any map of the place so I had to ask 3 people total before I got to my seat (which was a love seat upstairs). Lastly, I visited multiple concession stands but soft drinks options could be better. Just sugary soda, diet soda and Dasani water. If they can add stuff like seltzer water and unsweetened tea, it would cater to a bigger group of people. Getting out of the parking lot was not as painful as I imagined. However they should mark aisles of parking lots with numbers or alphabets as I saw some people having hard time locating their vehicle. read more

Whoever did the planning for this needs to be mentally evaluated. It's wedged between IKEA and the hub of restaurants, which seems like a good idea until you try to get there. There are 2 entrances right next to eachother and it's the only way to get in and out. It's an headache to park and an absolute nightmare to leave. And also you have to pay $10 to park in the lot that literally connected to the stadium and really your only viable option for parking. The inside is really nice with great seating and good options for food and drinks. I went to an Indy Ignite game, which was so much fun!! Great energy and a great game but the parking situation makes me never want to go to another one. Which should not be the case. An absolute failure of urban planning read more

Fishers Event Center - Fuel!! - Performing Arts Near Me - Fishers, Indiana

I recently attended an Indy Fuel game at the new Fishers Event Center and it was a great opportunity to check out the venue. They also host Indy Ignite professional volleyball games and other upcoming events from well known musical artists and comedians. It's a nice option to have another major indoor location for sports, music, and entertainment. The venue itself is really nice and modern. For the game, I sat in the normal seats but I saw they have other unique seating options like standing counters and couches. I would have liked to see better concessions options personally, the snacks and drinks seemed below average to me. As other reviews have mentioned, parking at $10 feels steep for their attached surface lot but now that I know I'll just keep that in mind next time with my budget for any ticket purchase. read more

The venue itself I give a 10 out of 10. We went to see the ladies volleyball team the ignite. They're literally isn't a bad seat in the house. We were fortunate enough to be right up front though they have a food court that has all the food prepared and sitting out under heat lamps I got a hot dog and I think I might've chipped my tooth on the bun it was so hard. Then you take your order up and set it under a scanner where it scanned and you put your credit card in and then they graciously offer you the opportunity to put a tip on. read more

Fishers Event Center - Our first Ignite game. - Performing Arts Near Me - Fishers, Indiana

The facility itself is great - still brand new(ish), with all the amenities you'd expect. The problem, as many other Yelpers have noted, is the traffic situation. Getting in and out of this location can be a soul-crushing experience. Everyone knows that Fishers, Noblesville, Carmel, and Westfield are now extremely overpopulated, and this is a venue where you'll definitely feel that. I'm no city planner or street engineer, but I can't help but think there would be a way to eliminate all these traffic choke-points. It spoils what would otherwise be a great experience. read more

I must admit I'm somewhat shocked by the negative reviews. I visited the event center for the Inaugural Ignite volleyball game. It was very busy, but we found a parking spot easily (now we had to walk, but it was still easy). At the time of entrance, I hadn't seen anything about paying to park (will visit at end of review). The center is very colorful on the outside, very modern on the inside. Food and drink options were good and reasonable. The double smashburger seemed to be a popular item and it was worth the price. The set up for volleyball seemed perfect. There are adequate restroom options. As I left, someone was handing out QR codes for parking. Again, didn't see anything by where I parked so I thought maybe we were in a free area. I found a QR code when I got home and paid at that time. Hopefully I don't experience what others did and get a bill much higher than what it should actually be. I'll know for next time though. Despite the busy lot, we got out easily. read more

I was very lucky to be able to go to what was close to one of the first music shows at the brand new state of the art event center in Fishers. It has great but expensive parking across the street. Note park farther away in the lot as there is only one way out. Leaving took me 45 minutes after the show. It is very nice inside and home now to the Indy Ice. There are numerous concessions around the first floor. I got a brat on a pretzle bun and a beer. Prices for food was much more reasonable that Lucas and food was a lot better too. The floor seating is extremely cramped don't buy it unless you like a stranger right up against you for 90 minutes. No leg room either and uncomfortable. View of stage was good and acoustics were excellent. I overall give it high marks and while expensive though the overall experience blows other places out if the water easily for going to shows. read more

I went to see the fuel play at the new stadium. It was a lot of fun and very well done! The food options were good - I had sliders, chicken and a veggie tray. They have a lot of drinks to choose from - great options! The chairs are comfortable, all the seats have a good view from what I could tell. The only complaint have experienced and heard from many others is leaving. There seems to be one way in and one way out. It takes a lot of patience and time to leave. Next time I'll leave early to get out. read more

This place is shady as hell. No clear signage about parking fees. They will send you a huge bill when all you did was try to pick up someone at the end of a concert. Terrible location. Would not ever recommend. Typical Fishers money grab!! read more

My friends and I came to the new Fishers Event Center to see a Indy Fuel hockey game and it was a wonderful experience. The Fishers Event Center is practically brand new since it opened up within the past year. The venue is not that big from the outside,but once you go inside, it is a wonderful stadium that holds about 60,000+ people and offers a variety of concessions for patrons to partake while watching the hockey game. Fishers Event Center also holds concerts and other events besides Indy Fuel hockey games. The acoustics in the event center are perfect and you can definitely hear the sounds of the hockey game. It has been a while since I have been to a hockey game, so I was very impressed with the venue and the sound effects of the stadium while watching the game. Fishers Event Center is a great addition to Fishers and should bring more business to local merchants in the area. The parking is $10 for each car at Fishers Event Center, so the recommendation is to park at Sun King Fishers or the Fishers Crossing shopping center down the street from the venue and walk over to the venue from there if you do not want to pay for parking. The majority of people I know go to hangout at Sun King Fishers before going to an event at the Fishers Event Center because it is so convenient and you can walk over to the venue. This is a great stadium with a great location in Fishers and it will be around for a long time as long as concerts and hockey games are taking place at the venue. It is #1! read more

I attended a concert tonight at Fishers Event Center. I am very disappointed with how poorly the parking is designed. There is more or less only one way in and out. The parking lot is not marked at all with letters or numbers to help you find your car after you are ready to go home. We are sitting in our car and no vehicles are moving. It's gridlock, much worse than leaving Ruoff Music Center. I have one more concert I've bought tickets for at this location and it will be my last. Very poor engineering and design. There needs to be more women engineers!!! read more

This is a no cash venue. Parking is ridiculous. There is basically no way to pay for parking, and then they will ding you for "non-compliance" and charge you $31 to park in their parking lot. I asked how to pay and workers couldn't help. A month after the event, I get a letter in the mail saying I was in non-compliance and threatening me with collections. When I tried to call to come up with a solution, their response was simply that they were completely in the right and wouldn't listen to anything I had to say. I will not attend an event here again, nor any other place that requires me to use this parking service. The venue itself should not charge anyone attending an event there to pay to park in a surface lot attached to the venue. read more

If you never have to drive to this place, you might enjoy the show. Traffic both coming in and getting out is the worst of any venue I have ever, EVER been to! Goat rope does not begin to explain this. Secondly once in the venue, I guess they felt the need to add that One More Seat to the rows, the floor seats are not only expensive (as I fully expect) but they literally are on top of each other with ZERO, ZERO, space between. Sat on front row for LeAnn Morgan and your butts and shoulders will absolutely be touching your neighbor. Just a poor, poor set up, extremely way too tight. It will take you an hour to get parked, and one to two hours to get out! Would never go back for a show at this venue. If you go do not buy floor seats, you will be better off and far more comfortable sitting anyplace other than the floor! read more

I bought my son very expensive tickets to a show for his birthday ($700 each) When they arrived to the show, Fishers had added extra seats and the person on with side of my kid could not fit in the seats because they were so close. My boys of course did what they could to make the others feel more comfortable, but because of that, they were incredibly uncomfortable and ended up leaving half way through. It was a very disappointing experience. read more

All the seats had good views right close to the action. And the food at the concessions was great! Very seamless process just grab and go with self pay stations. The burger came with a bunch of fries. Pretty good deal for the price if you ask me! Clean facility with plenty of food options, drinks and bathrooms read more

The Fishers Event Center has room for improvement. The good thing is that the stadium design has great sight lines for hockey and arena football. I really enjoyed my first experience watching arena football. The athletes put on a show. The game did drag a bit, probably would be a better product with 10 minute quarters. The emcee was also pretty annoying and old. He should be replaced with a more youthful voice. Parking is not an issue but the actual traffic flow management by Fishers PD is abysmal. Someone should train them how to empty a parking lot and direct traffic. Food, drink, and parking prices are out of control. $10 to park should pay for a quicker exit. $14 beers, $5 water, &15 nachos, it makes me not want to come back to many games. Haven't checked out the Ignite bc their ticket prices are stupid high. read more

What a mess. We went to our first Indy Fuel game at the new facility. Traffic in was horrible, with a back up all the way to the freeway. Made a mental note of never going to IKEA when there is any event. Once we parked, we tried to pay for parking, but the app had issues, as it would not accept the date (January 3rd). We asked the staff inside, and they said to find the posted QR code in the lot. We returned to our car, and looked everywhere, but there were no posted signs or QR codes. I went to the website again the next day, and emailed the parking company. We were told you could not pay after an event. They said we must have parked in an employee lot, but we arrived late with others and parked in the farthest north lot, as directed by the traffic police. Contacted the fuel, who directed me to the parking company, which were zero help. Shame, as we had planned on taking in future games and events, but will skip until they sort this out. read more
