I feel like I'm at Gainbridge for some kind of cool event just about every other month now, because…read morethey have tons of cool stuff going on. Between the basketball games (Yes Cers! Fever Rising!) and other shows, there's always something going on and I have a great time with it. There's a lot of options for food and I've always had my food come out quickly. The Fieldhouse Favorites will cover your bases on the classics. Ben's Pretzels offers carbs galore. A recent fave of mine is The Shake Bar, a Steak 'n Shake brand that specializes in luscious, over-the-top milkshakes. I love to get the Oreo shake as a treat for my game or showtime experience. Some other tidbits - you're allowed to bring in a clear water bottle that's either factory sealed, or an empty reusable to fill up at a fountain. Another alternative is the DD program, where you can get a free soda with a voucher from guest services. You can't purchase any alcohol after that point because you get a wristband that would indicate as such. But if you're looking to stay sober for the evening, this is a great perk!

Absolutely unacceptable experience tonight at the Heat vs Pacers game. My sister and I were simply…read moretrying to move down a row to get Bam's autograph--something fans do all the time--and instead of handling it calmly or professionally, an usher immediately escalated the situation and put her hands on my sister. There was zero need for physical contact. No warning, no attempt to de-escalate, just straight to being aggressive. It completely ruined what was supposed to be a fun night. We paid good money to be there and ended up feeling disrespected and honestly shocked. And to make it worse, it already kind of sucks being Pacers fans all season during a rough year--then when the team we're actually excited to see comes to town, we get treated like trash by arena staff. That's not how you treat paying fans. Security and staff are supposed to ensure safety--not create uncomfortable or hostile situations. This was handled in the worst possible way, and it reflects terribly on the arena and its staff. Do better.

I had forgotten how awesome of a stadium Lucas Oil is. I love all of the racecars, giant…read moreconcourses, and great seats throughout the stadium. We went to the Colts vs Jaguars game on December 28, 2025. The Colts lost, but the whole atmosphere was super fun. Blue has to be the best mascot in the NFL. Tons of restrooms, giant concourses to walk around. Some cool high school memorabilia and helmets. I like all of the history that was incorporated.

A piece of crap stadium with not enough bathrooms. For the…read moreNCAA tournament there was literally 100 person deep lines at EVERY men's bathroom. While ever women's bathroom was vacant. And the most idiotic thing- there's more women bathrooms than men's. Top it off with overpriced concessions and horrible concourses that are hard to navigate. Indy is pitiful

I have attended two high school graduation ceremonies at this venue and both were really nice…read more There is ample parking and seating available, and we were able to invite as many members of our families as we wanted. I wish that they would make some kind of rule that people cannot reserve entire rows of seating for guests that have not yet arrived, but I suppose that is a personal preference. Their concessions were open, and they had a stand out front where you could buy flowers and mementos for the graduates, which I thought was nice. If you happened to be "up in the rafters" they also had huge screens where you could view the ceremony from the perspective of cameras that were strategically placed around the stage. Parking was $10, but I feel that it was well worth it to be able to have so many family members and friends with us on such a joyous day!

Throughout the years I have seen lots of shows -sports- 4H and other events etc in this venue…read more Tonight it's for a Fuel Hockey game. Always a good time! It's probably the last venue with tickets that do not cost an arm and a leg, so it's good for families with children. The seats all have good views. The rest rooms are clean and well stocked. The staff are kind and welcoming. Check it out

Victory Field is one of the best (if not the best) ranked minor league stadium in the country, and…read morefor good measure! I always enjoy watching the games and getting all the ballpark classic eats. The stadium is always very clean when I'm there and crowd control is managed well. They have many concession stands throughout. I personally prefer the regular stands since I prefer to get my classic hot dogs and churros. However, the soft serve ice cream sundaes are absolutely delicious and worth getting. Food is also reasonably priced here, where one hot dog is $5 on regular days but only a dollar on Tuesdays! I think Victory Field hosts the Indy Indians for the most part, so they are synonymous in service. The Indians games are always fun, and they host some good giveaways for themed nights. Make sure to arrive early!

A fun spot for a night out! We had tickets with our cousin so got to enjoy great seats. The flow to…read moreget in was fast and we appreciated all the signage. We hadn't been to a game for some time so had forgotten all the 'rules' about food etc. We appreciated that you could bring a cooler and food if you stay on the lawn! The food and beverage options are standard fare for a baseball stadium so not something we can enjoy, but loved that others could get the hot dogs and slushies. It was clean and seemed to be maintained well. We would go back!

If you're going to live in Indiana, you're eventually going to get hooked on basketball. I attended…read moremy first Fever game last week! The Fieldhouse was packed with fans and the excitement was contagious. I was thrilled to see women's sports at the same level as men's. The team has come a long way. The Fever has gained national fame with the addition of Caitlin Clark. While Caitlin didn't play during the game that I attended due to injury, she was engaging the crowd like a champ from the bench. We got to our seats early and Caitlin was signing autographs and talking to kids. It was fun to watch. The team played together incredibly well, hitting many three point shots. These athletes are great role models for young people. The team had even drawn in Hollywood celebrity fans and nationally renowned authors. I felt like I was part of history being made. So the tickets and parking are expensive. We had pretty good seats and it was worth seeing the players up close. The communications from the ticket office were excellent. I received notices regarding gate procedures and even what colors to wear! I highly recommend attending a game (or several) and supporting the Fever.

Even though we lost and Caitlin did not play, I had a good time watching my favorite player Lexi Hull. We sat in Section 1, Row 1, which were great seats very near the Fever bench. Even though we sat off to one side of behind the goal post it was not a hinderance. We were really close to the action and could view the action from a really unique viewpoint. I would buy season tickets there if they were available. We all liked the games played during the TV timeouts. I felt that the announcer person could have explained more about the coach's challenges instead of just announcing the outcome. The restrooms are easy to get to and located throughout the facility. Concession offerings are alcohol as well as bottled water and soft drinks. They do remove the plastic tops from all bottles after purchase so if purchasing several you may want help carrying them back to your seats to prevent any spills. Guest services staff were friendly and helpful. If you have someone drop you off and pick you up, that can be tricky. The police tend to block one street off temporarily and then open it and block off another. So if you can walk and meet your pickup several blocks away, that would be your best bet.

Somehow only just now have made it to a game at Hinkle Fieldhouse, and I have no complaints…read more There doesn't seem to be a bad seat in the house. Even the seats on the side are angled into the center of the court, so you're just a bit more comfortable. The glass on the front row of the upper level gives more of a viewing opportunity. The natural light is a great tough, getting to see just a little bit of the Indiana sunset as you take in the game. Even the concession stands are thought out enough to be inside the playing area, which makes for some difficult line navigation but cool nonetheless that you don't miss any action while waiting. In true Indiana style--and I mean this in a great way--this feels like an expanded Indiana high school gymnasium built for basketball rather than a big arena for multi-use at a university. This place was MADE for basketball. Highly recommend a game here.

What a fun experience to take our children to their first Butler game! My husband is an alumni so…read moreour house is decorated in Bulldog decor and are huge fans. We snagged excellent seats but they were occupied by a bunch of students, who begrudgingly eventually did move. We went to the VIP section where they celebrated with Fat Tuesday cakes, cookies, another beverage stand, veggies, etc, met the Merchants frog, and had a fun Night together. The bathrooms were clean, admission into the facility was quick and easy, security check points moved fast and overall, both kids had a pretty smooth introduction to sports in the safest environment possible!

Although it was super cold, we still had a great time at the NCAA Final Four Dribble event! With…read morethe event came free parking, which makes it super convenient as the lot was right across. Normally, you have to pay to park here or have a permit. They opened at 11, and the lines got long pretty quickly, but they moved fast, so it wasn't too bad. Once inside, there were plenty of activity booths and even free fruit like apples, oranges, and bananas. They had a setup with multiple tents and tables for registration, and due to the amount of people, it was hard to tell where the lines were as people just crowded around. Once registered, we received a bag, headband, T-shirt, and wristband to get a basketball. The registration process could have been a little smoother with better organization. There were activities on the field to keep everyone entertained while waiting for the dribble to begin. My favorite booth was the Geico one. they printed your picture onto a player card, which was such a fun keepsake! It was definitely a busy event with lots of participants, so waiting in line was to be expected. When it was time to start, everyone moved to the track where staff handed out basketballs. The dribble route went past Victory Field and ended at the convention center, where we got free access to Fan Fest with the event, such a great perk! I also liked that we passed through Victory Field and could use the restrooms there. It was a fun event, but I feel like it could have been a little more organized. Another downside was the weather because it was so cold and windy, but we still tried to make the most of it!

I know that there are soccer games held here along with a bunch of other events. I came here for…read morethe NCAA Final Four dribble event. It was during Final Four weekend and they had the facility looking nice for the event. Everything was spread out due to how much opening space there was. The volunteers were friendly. Parking is not bad at all which I know typically you have to pay for parking but during this event we didn't have to pay.

They should have never moved from the coliseum. The arena atmosphere is dry. The team is meh. The…read moreparking is chaotic and overpriced. They got rid of the goal horn and replaced it with a fake audio recording of the Chicago Blackhawks that sounds horrible. They got rid of both inflatable nitros. They have a new entrance board that you can only see from a quarter of the arena. It just doesn't feel the same as it did at the coliseum. Just go watch some clips of fuel games at the coliseum and you'll be jealous it's gone. The best part is when you get to leave. I live in fishers too and I would rather drive the extra 25 minutes to the fairgrounds. Good job hallets. A stunning job per usual.

The fuel games are a blast but my rating is to help you with the food…read more 1. You should eat before if you can! 2. Do not get the nachos at the little cantina they are horrible and $14. They were cold and I couldn't even eat them. My husband has a stomach of steel so he ate them. 3. The pretzels should only be eaten at the beginning of the game. If they've been in there too long they are hard and stale. The cheese for them taste funny to me so I just use mustard. 4. The corndogs/hotdogs were really good! I was surprised they were so hot I had to let mine cool off. Hope this helps. If you go 317 night there are great specials. I highly recommend that. It's $3 beer, $1 popcorn and $7 craft beer/shirts. These games are a great time!

I have been involved with both open wheel oval track racing and stock car oval track racing for 60…read moreyears. I've built, tuned, crewed on, and driven everything from street stock jalopies to late model stock cars, to supermodifieds and sprint cars. I've watched or driven close to 500,000 laps at various venues around the country, from 1/4 mile ovals to super speedways. IMS is perhaps the poorest place I've ever been to try to watch a race. I attended both the Indy 500 and the Brickyard 400 there last year. Whoever decided to build a 3 story grandstand on the INSIDE of the front straightaway and a museum in the infield was an idiot. There is not a seat in the house that can see more than about 1/4th of the track. What I mean is, at 220 mph a lap takes about 40 seconds. So every 40 seconds you get to see the cars go by for about 7-10 seconds at speeds so fast that you can't even read the numbers on them. If you are a race fan you'll be disappointed. If you're there primarily for the party, and the hip hop DJ blasting away in the infield you might have fun. I didn't. I would rather have paid to watch paint dry in a sauna. I live 4 miles from IMS. It took 4 hours to get home after the Indy 500. I paid for preferred parking and ended up a mile from the track. For the 500, the concession stands ran out of food at about 2 pm, or about halfway through the race. I'm not spending money to go to this venue in the foreseeable future.

They have several sections that have plastic seats that are more comfortable than bleachers.

While it certainly does not have the full slate of amenities that newer facilities possess, it is still a fun place to catch a game. The visitor stands are pretty short and close to the field, which makes it a bit hard to see the entirety of the action, but there's always room on the home side. The concessions are pretty limited, but most of the standard stadium fare is included. They do have a Chick-fil-A tent that comes out to most events, so you can get a chicken sandwich in addition to other offerings. Pepsi products are served here. Bonus points for having the spirit shop, concessions, and restrooms inside of Hinkle Fieldhouse. If you have not been in Hinkle, you should take the opportunity. By far the best venue in college basketball. Butler sports are always an affordable and great option in Indianapolis. While the football team is not in the best, most competitive conference, it is still a fun thing to do on a Saturday afternoon.
