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!

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.

There is nothing like going to a sporting event with all the energy and excitement! Indy 11 fans did not disappoint! They love their team! Played music and cheered them on the whole game! Smoke bombs when team scored! I'm an animal lover so getting to meet their mascot in person was a plus! They walk around greeting fans and love the attention they get! They are well behaved so that makes them even more lovable! If you don't grab a bite to eat before the game, there are plenty of food trucks to choose from. I recommend seeing an Indy 11 game whether you like Soccer or not. It's a great way to spend the evening with friends and/or family.

The family enjoyed the crowd so much, made the game even more fun! It was nice to have some areas where you can stand and move around. All the food trucks were nice too, I enjoyed Ben's pretzels.

He does not remember the first time we took them, but I was blown away by the caliber of this outdoor space (and museum, of course). The sports park is divided into sections dedicated to basketball, football, baseball, hockey, soccer, racing, and had a quarter mile track that looped around the perimeter. Everything is super interactive and educational. Not to mention, the enormous treehouse! The weather was beautiful and we clocked three hours outdoors! Highly recommended for kids of all ages... including adults.

Several coolers of beer and non-alcoholic drinks lined the VIP area and we also had access to a full bar. Food was standard ballpark food plus sides - huge hot dogs and brats, mashed potatoes, green beans, rolls, mac & cheese, and more. Bags of peanuts and cracker jacks were laid on the tables and a freezer held dippin' dots. Later we received coupons for soft serve ice cream. A section of seats was available to our group to watch the game; however, we could see from our VIP section. Overall the staff were friendly. They oversaw the coolers and bars, and we were regularly ID'ed.

We ended up at Victory Field last night in the most unexpected way! We were actually on our way to…read morethe Garth Brooks concert when we ran into a man who had two extra tickets to the game. His grandfather was being honored for his connection to the Negro Leagues, and he told us that his grandfather had even thrown out the first pitch at Victory Field a few years ago--while in a wheelchair. We couldn't pass up the opportunity to be there for such a special moment. We only had a short time before we needed to head to the concert, so we went in specifically to see the tribute and experience a little bit of the stadium. Even though we weren't there for an entire game, I'm really glad we got the chance to visit. Congrats Bill Owen's and family! One thing I loved was how much Victory Field embraces and honors the history of the team and the people who helped shape baseball. There was so much excitement and genuine support throughout the stadium, and it was really special to see the crowd come together to honor someone's family history. The location was also incredibly convenient for us. The stadium was directly across from our hotel, so it couldn't have been easier to get to. What started as a random encounter on our way to another event turned into a really meaningful experience. We were honored to be able to support this man and his grandfather, Bill Owen's, and witness a small but incredibly special piece of Victory Field's history. Sometimes the unexpected parts of a trip end up being the memories you remember the most.

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!

Whether you want to do something active with people you know or you're new in town and looking to…read moremake friends (or you're single and you'd like to meet someone good looking....wink, wink), CCA is a blast. They have about 20 different sports leagues from dodgeball to kickball to bowling that run throughout the year. After the game, they have a sponsor bar where you can meet with your team and take advantage of drink specials. One of the kickball umps is an arrogant show-off who plays favorites in order to recruit players for his own kickball team....Other than him, CCA rules though. The owner is a great guy who has done a wonderful job starting the league from scratch and making it the predominant recreational league in town. I highly recommend CCA.

My review is for the CCA soccer leagues, specifically played at the Orchard School fields. The…read moreleague is $65 a person with 6 weeks of regular season games and 1-2 weeks of playoffs. Let me lay out some numbers for you before I explain what happened. There is a requirement of 12 players per team, which is at least $780 per team. I know our team had 4 additional players and so did others. There were 10 teams. That is a minimum of $7,800 for the required 12 per team, so lets stay there were about 10 additional players. This brings the total to $8,450 in fees to CCA. Two hours of games on two fields for 8 weeks which is only 16 hours of field use and 64 hours of ref time (if your game actually has the two required refs). Starting to wonder "why so expensive" yet? Now listen to my experience. The fields weren't mowed/lined until the 3rd week of play. Most of our games only had one referee when they are suppose to provide two. They don't provide game balls and every game we played with a flat or lopsided ball. There was a CCA rep at the first game to take our picture and then never again. The t-shirts have sponsors on them, so are virtually free of cost. The fields don't have lights on them so if you have the later game, you can't see the last 10 mins of the game. They extended the league two weeks due to too many teams/bye weeks, but didn't tell anyone, so hopefully your whole team is available those two weeks when the league was suppose to be over already but they wanted to make extra money. Have you figured out what i'm paying $65 for? Because I can't figure it out. There are so many better leagues out there. Find them and don't look back. I know that's what I'm doing. CCA is unorganized 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.

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.

It has a basketball court - hey it's Indiana of course they would, a swimming block lane lines, fencing, and so many other sports items and facts located throughout. Since the Final Four is here in Indy this year things are definitely ramping up! I just saw the NCAA blimp flying by the JW Marriott looking at the brackets on the side of the building. Overall, it's a great place to visit and Go Purdue I hope you win it all!!
