They should have never moved from the coliseum. The arena atmosphere is dry. The team is meh. The parking 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. read more

The fuel games are a blast but my rating is to help you with the food. 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! read more

Give me fuel Indy this place was awesome. Our first time ever going to a hockey game and it was by far one of the coolest experiences. We had such a great time. The crowd was on fire. The team was fun overall great great experience that we will do again. read more

I went to my first Indy Fuel game this year and what a fun way to spend the evening! The Fuel play at the Indiana Farmers Coliseum and the Indiana State Fairground. They have concession stands and gear shops with fairly reasonable priced merchandise. The tickets are also very affordable. We did have to park pretty far away so it was a long walk back to the car and there was some heavy traffic getting out. The game I went to was Superhero night so the team wore special jerseys and they had people in costume walking around for photo opps. The Fuel ended up winning and I am looking forward to when I can go to another game! read more

You want to be here for the introductions they darken the room and put on a display. Most games have a special. Fuel is feeder team to Chicago Blackhawks so wear your 'Hawks jerseys. read more

Indy Fuel - Fuel Game - Professional Sports Teams Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Great times were had at the Indy Fuel game. I like the ease of getting in and out of the game. The hockey games are fun for everyone in my family. We all like chanting "Go Fuel!", the mascot (Rowdy), and the fun of watching live hockey. Things to note: - parking is $8 - hockey etiquette states that you can leave your seat during game play, but you can't return until there is a break (the whistle blows) - there is a Dunkin Donuts for coffee sales, it does not sell decaf, the cream is all flavored or you can get little packets of half and half - when you enter the coliseum, head upstairs- the seats are all up one level. There is an elevator, but it is slow - if you can handle the stairs, take them - it is fun! read more

It's a shame that we don't have a pro hockey team here in Indy. However, we are very lucky to have the Fuel. The season opener was a wild game. Our team played well but didn't win. The crowd was very nice and the venue was clean and easy to navigate. They had food and lots of drinks to choose from, price was what you could expect at a sporting event. Parking is easy but be sure to leave your bags in the car. Fuel games are family friendly and just a great date night idea all together. read more

Indianapolis' current incarnation of the spirit of Hockey! The Indy Fuel is one of the best parts of winter's approach. The schedule can accommodate anyone - Want something to do after work in the dark dreary winter months and want a deal on dinner? Try their $2 Tuesday games or All-You-Can-Eat Thursdays! Looking for something fun to do with the kids? They've got a wide array of superhero and children's television programming nights to add an extra layer of fun for the family. Prefer a lazy Sunday afternoon game? They've got those too. I'm happy to have hockey back in Indianapolis and hope they stick around for years to come! read more

This was. So. Much. FUN!!! We are not hockey fans, but we heard these games are a good time. It did not disappoint! The crowd was electric and we felt like we fit right in. We bought the cheapest tickets, and our seats were fantastic. Be sure to walk around and evaluate food options - there is a decent amount to choose from! read more

I got to enjoy my first fuel game with my pup thanks to the paws and pucks event. I've been wanting to go to a game for a long time. The tickets were nicely affordable and the venue is really nice! The staff made a the experience extremely accommodating for pups and their parents. They had us all in one section and provided grass patches upstairs for the dogs to use! It was awesome! Check in was quick and easy and all the staff was extremely friendly! I had a great time at the game and can't wait to go back! Also parking is $5 but there are people directing and it's a pretty quick in and out process. read more

A fun friend night! We walked in and they were handing out free flowers for Valentine's Day - super fun. Tickets are reasonably priced, so easy to get a group of friends or your family on board to try out a game for the evening. There were tons of entertainment elements during the game (besides the hockey) including a flying blimp, t-shirt giveaways, sandwich coupon giveaways and more. Parking is $8 and you'll enjoy going to such a relaxed game. Definitely try it out! read more

Had the opportunity to attend the Indianapolis fuel hockey game on their military appreciation night. It was a packed house! It is located on the grounds of the Indiana State fair, and just so happens this weekend was the same weekend as the Indy home show. So traffic was crazy, we waited about 20 minutes to get into the parking lot. I really enjoyed the game, the seating was great and seems like every seat is a good one at the stadium. It was not freezing in the stadium like I expected it to be, so that was nice. Food offered is as you would expect at any type of game, hot dogs, nachos, etc. two hotdogs and a large soda cost us $22. Pricey, but the same cost as stadium food anywhere. The bathrooms were clean and kept up, there were plenty of them around. My only complaint was the parking. It is only $5 to park and they are now accepting debit and credit cards, however the attendants don't have scanners on them so they have to walk into the building and then back to bring customers the receipts to sign. This really held up the lines. read more

Great venue, good entertainment value and a decent quality (two levels below the NHL) hockey game. It's by far the most reasonable professional sporting event in town. The Coliseum is a fantastic venue. We had seats in the top row and had a great view of the game. There truly isn't a bad seat in the house. Save your money on tickets and spend it on concessions. The Fuel fans were passionate and provided a lot of entertainment. The between period entertainment included a shot for a fan to win a car and a game where Fuel interns played hockey with a beachball while wearing zorb bubble balls. We happened to go on an "all-you-can-eat" night game. They had free unlimited hot dogs, burgers, popcorn and nachos, which was an added bonus. They have three all-you-can eat nights a season (dates available on the Fuel's website). All and all, a fun way to spend an evening! read more

The Circle City is know for it's sports scene and since 2014 we have taken it up another notch with the introduction of the semi-pro Indy Fuel! If you haven't been, there are tons of games throughout there season There isn't a bad seat in the house and all tickets are resonably priced. We were able to get tickets for $15 (with fees) a person in the top row behind the goal and could see all the action no problem. The Fuel do a great job keeping folks engaged in the game and making the event family friendly. This is also a great place for groups and family outings. Check in advance to ticket specials and deals as they are always running some sort of a promotion. There is an additional $5 fee to park inside the fair grounds, but you can always park across the street on the other side of 38th St for free and walk. read more

Indy Fuel - If you haven't been to a Fuel game, go! - Professional Sports Teams Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Attended the season opener with my two kids (5 and 7) and had a great night! I don't know all that much about hockey, but we liked it from an entertainment perspective alone. We were able to get on the jumbotron twice - once from dancing and the other time by tagging a photo with #fuelify on Twitter. My kids loved that. They played a lot of fun music, the blimp flew over and dropped things on the crowd (tickets? coupons? We didn't get any, so I'm not sure), and the mascot, Nitro, came over and let us take some selfies with him. It's kind of a late night for young kids, so we bailed out a little early - but we'll definitely be back for another game. read more

ECHL hockey in Indy! 2015-2016 was the second year for the Fuel and I was able to attend fan appreciation night. I played hockey growing up and rooted for the (now defunct) Toledo Goaldiggers and Toledo Storm. But slim pickings for Indiana when I moved here so having the Fuel is very welcome. The hockey isn't particularly fast or crisp. I have watched ECHL for a long time and the best players at this level may sniff a fourth line role player at the NHL level. But it very entertaining and the Fuel put on a good show with the revamped Indiana Coliseum, announcers, cheerleaders, and so on. Being affiliated with a first class operation like the Chicago Blackhawks doesn't hurt either. They announced an attendance increase from last year so that is very positive. Cost wise tickets here are higher than other ECHL teams (specifically Toledo, which has a better stadium IMO) but that is OK. It beats the cost of a Colts ticket! Hopefully they remain for some time and I will certainly be attending future games. read more

Indy Fuel - Final home game 2016 - Professional Sports Teams Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

TIP: Be the first 1000 ticket holder at tonight's game for a special Blackhawk / Fuel ice hockey puck. All this at the pre-game event from 5 - 7 pm at the Grand Hall across from the fair coliseum. Also, at that day's pre-game, there were free games of corn hole and hockey. Food was available for purchase. A few of the Chicago Blackhawk's Ice Crew ladies were signing autographs and taking pictures with the audience. I wanted a signature of Bobby Hull, but there was miscommunication that we needed a voucher at a certain time. The music was too loud. This was my first Indy Fuel game in person. The entertainment at the beginning of the game was exciting. Fiery blowup creature that the players came through! Also, I like the flying blimp. Unfortunately, the Fuel lost 0-2. There is a $5 parking fee at the fairground, but free shuttling. There were a lot of activities that night through the grounds. read more

One Word: Hockey!!!! I'm a life-long hockey fan, and I was THRILLED when I heard we were getting an ECHL team (Don't get me wrong, the Ice of current years were fun to watch, but I prefer hockey played by guys old enough to grow beards [or give a good attempt at a beard...]). I was even MORE excited when I heard our team would be an affiliate of the Chicago Blackhawks, which is my favorite NHL team (Obviously, per profile pic). For the inaugural season, we bought a 1/4 season package, and it's safe to say we will be bumping up to a half or full season package for next year. As with any new team, there are some kinks, both on the ice (passing, seriously guys, work on your passing...or don't pass & just charge to the net...something) and off the ice (sometimes the DJ selection is wonky). The Fuel haven't had the best record this year, but I expect that with a new franchise finding its footing, and it's not for lack of try. Every Fuel staff member we have interacted with has been a class act and incredibly friendly: from our ticket rep (yay, Ben!), to the people staffing "The Garage" gear shop, to the owners Jim & Shawn Hallett...it's a Top Class organization. As an added perk, the renovations to the Fairgrounds Coliseum made this a PERFECT hockey venue. There is not a bad seat in the house. Seriously, grab your friends, grab your kids/family, or set off solo, and come support our newest pro sports team in town! Watch out for the mascot, Nitro, he's a bit of of a mischievous rascal...but is utterly hilarious. Smooth dance moves, Nitro. Fuel Up! Let's go Fuel! read more

If hockey isn't your cup of tea, would recommend a different Indianapolis sporting event. While all the seats have a great view, it just doesn't have the feel of a professional sporting event. It is kind of in a weird spot between college and professional sports. As an avid IU, Butler, and Pacers fan I would recommend spending your $40 ticket money elsewhere. There are good concessions and is plenty of parking. read more

What a wonderful time to spend with family or friends! Even if you aren't normally a hockey fan, the atmosphere will make you one. Well worth the price of admission. Please support the team! read more

I have been to a lot of hockey games in my life and hockey is by far my favorite sport. With no professional Indianapolis team to speak of, I had a big puck shaped hole in my heart for a while. I tried going to and Indiana Ice game, but the atmosphere was lacking and it felt like I was watching a high school game. When the Fuel showed up this year, there was hope for all Hoosier hockey fans, and the Fuel have delivered with spades. The fan base is small, but strong and vocal. The games are energetic enough to be very enjoyable and the minor leaguers aren't above dropping the gloves. The ticket prices are very reasonable and $15 tickets still give you an amazing view of the ice (and pyrotechnics). I highly recommend trying the Fuel out for anyone who loves hockey or anyone who hasn't seen the light. read more

Damn fine fun for the entire family ! I am a Indy Fuel season ticket holder for approximately the same price as a beer at Lucas Oil...watch out Colts ! I might let two of my season tix go bye bye ! Excellent hockey and really fun as a farm team for the Chicago Blackhawks This is a very inexpensive and entertaining option with terrific folks associated with the organization. The staff is incredibly pleasant and accommodating at the very nice and newly renovated Coliseum . This team and business is deserving of the community's support read more

Although the Fuel lost pretty badly to the Cincinnati Cyclones, my experience last Saturday was fantastic! My friend had bought tickets for us in the upper level just above the bar at center ice. The remodeled Colosseum offers a great view from up-high without making you feel like you're going to fall from the ceiling. The venue was clean, comfortable, and there were plenty of staff available to help with whatever was necessary. Once we found our seats, we left our jackets and headed to the bar. Here is where my five-star shifts to four: the drinks were stupid expensive! While it was a strong and delicious cocktail, it felt a little ridiculous to pay $10. I know, I know...it's the nature of the beast. But in order to make this an affordable outing it would be great to have the alcohol prices be more reasonable. The beer I got later was $9 (I opted for craft beer) and it uses the bottom pour system, so at least you get a good full cup. But again, it's just too much. The better part was that the kids meals were very well-priced and is the perfect portion for a snack to soak up all that expensive alcohol! The best part though was their dedication to those who serve. Midway through the game, they asked all veterans to stand and be recognized. It was a very beautiful moment and the crowd clapped for some time. I know that's part of the Hoosier hospitality and our state's dedication to our troops. Overall, they do a great job of keeping the crowd going throughout the game and the players are good. It's a fun atmosphere and very family friendly overall. As a "sports family," I'm thrilled to have another venue to see different sports in Indy. read more

This was an interesting experience as this was my first time here. So, finding the fair itself was not hard. Finding which building the game was in was a little more difficult but not hard (signs wouldn't hurt people) . They do have a shuttle, yay! No signs to help you where you ended up parking, boo. As one helpful guy told me when I asked where had we just parked- a reference point- I got...." Back there like, on that side of the fair". But overall a good experience. Nice concessions and great game. Family fun. read more

What a great hockey team & arena. Did you know 'The Great' Gretzky played here early in his career? Things have changed a bit since then, but only for the better.

Why is the freaking deal with not leaving a water cap on a $4 bottle of water? Soft drinks have lids. They allow aluminum beer/alcoholic drinks to the crowd.

The fuel lost my family as fans when they promised us a customized jersey for my son to be delivered in time for Christmas. They lied to get the sale. 4-6 week delivery time. Almost 8 weeks STILL no jersey. Of course it is also non refundable. They took no responsibility. Unprofessional, and unethical. read more

The hockey is decent and the ticket price is super affordable, but the fan experience is seriously lacking and the crowd might make you question your safety at times. Let's just say it's not your typical hockey crowd. Was required to pay for parking that forced me to walk through gravel and mud to get to the arena and after the match it was dark woth almost no lighting at all in the parking lot. Won't be going back. read more

Recently attended a game with some friends. It was a lot of fun! I wouldn't call myself a hockey fan, but I would go back and am actually looking forward to going back. I thought the ticket prices were reasonable. Although I would tell you to eat before you go. The concessions were super expensive. I would expect that for a professional game, but i think they could attract more people with lower prices. read more

Great time with great seats no matter where you sit. Parking is only $5. A good family friendly atmosphere.
