Waits are typically under 10 minutes. ## Seating Gainbridge Fieldhouse has two sideline clubs and the difference between them is which side of the benches you sit on: the Ticketmaster Hardwood Club is across from the benches, the Sire Spirits 67 Club is behind them. Its courtside product is gated by row rather than section — the CareSource Courtside Club covers rows 1-5 around the court, opens 90 minutes before tip-off and runs open seating with beer, wine and spirits included. Above them the Lexus Loft sits at the south end of the Krieg DeVault Level and the East and West Verandas on the KeyBank Suite Level. | Section | Price range | View | Pros | Cons | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Courtside / Floor Seats | $400 - $1,500+ | | Rows 1-5 carry CareSource Courtside Club access; The closest seats in the arena | Floor level flattens the spacing that decides a possession | | CareSource Courtside Club (Rows 1-5) | $550 - $1,800+ | The club serving rows 1 to 5 around the court during Pacers games. | All-inclusive food and beverages INCLUDING beer, wine AND spirits; A full-service 360 bar with standing and seated tables; Opens 90 minutes before tip-off, with open seating inside | Rows 1-5 only — row 6 does not qualify at any price; Pacers games only | | Ticketmaster Hardwood Club | $250 - $700+ | Sideline seating ACROSS FROM the benches, with a private club behind. | Across from the benches, so you watch the coaching rather than sit behind it; A full-service bar and a 318 square foot LED screen in the club; An upscale sports bar feel rather than a formal room | The opposite side to the Sire Spirits 67 Club — pick deliberately | | Sire Spirits 67 Club | $250 - $700+ | Sideline seating BEHIND the benches, with a private club attached. | Directly behind the benches, so the huddles happen in front of you; A full-service bar and dining space in a modern industrial setting | Behind the benches means players and staff stand in your sightline; The mirror of the Hardwood Club, so choose by which side you want | | Lexus Loft (Krieg DeVault Level, South End) | $200 - $600+ | The south end of the Krieg DeVault Level, in four-seat Loge and Theater Boxes. | A mix of 4-seat Loge and Theater Boxes rather than one format; Access to an all-inclusive club and hospitality space for Pacers and Fever games | South end rather than sideline; Sold in four-seat units | | East & West Verandas (KeyBank Suite Level) | $220 - $650+ | The KeyBank Suite Level, each Veranda holding eight four-seat Loge Boxes, with an unobstructed view in the round. | Unobstructed views in the round; Eight four-seat boxes per Veranda, so a group can take a run of them; All-inclusive hospitality space | Suite level height; Sold in four-seat boxes | | Club Level (100-Level Rear) | $70 - $220 | The rear of the lower bowl, raised enough to take in the whole court. | Club amenities without floor-level pricing; High enough to read the spacing of a possession | Behind the sideline rows that carry the two sideline clubs; No CareSource Courtside Club access | | Lower Bowl Sideline (100-Level) | $110 - $300 | | The best ordinary sightline in the arena; Close to the benches and the noise | Only the club-designated sideline seats carry lounge access; The front rows lose the near baseline | | Upper Sideline (200-Level) | $30 - $110 | | The clearest view of how a possession is organised | A long way above the floor | | Upper Balcony (200-Level) | $12 - $50 | The top of the arena, behind the baskets and in the corners. | Only two rings here, so it is not a distant third deck | The furthest seats from the court | Official seat map: https://www.gainbridgefieldhouse.com/events/premium-tickets-preview ## Getting There Gainbridge Fieldhouse is in the middle of downtown Indianapolis and its directions page assumes you will find it yourself — it gives a GPS address to type in and moves straight on to parking. The one piece of arrival detail worth having is that the closest covered garage connects to the building by a sky bridge on its third floor. **Driving.** The arena publishes no route in, only the address to type into a map: 125 S. Pennsylvania St. Several downtown parking options are within walking distance, and the closest covered one is the Virginia Avenue Parking Garage, connected to the fieldhouse by a third-floor sky bridge. **Public transit.** The arena's directions page names no IndyGo route and publishes no stop — public transit is not covered on it at all. Plan that leg from IndyGo's own map. **Rideshare.** Uber/Lyft drop-off is on Delaware Street near the main entrance. Post-game pickup is quick, Indianapolis has light rideshare congestion compared to larger markets. ### Transit options | Option | Price | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | | IndyGo Red Line (BRT) | $2.75 | Bus rapid transit runs along Meridian Street/Capitol with stops near the arena | | IndyGo Local Bus Routes | $2.75 | Multiple routes serve the downtown area near the arena | | Rideshare (from Broad Ripple) | $15 | Uber/Lyft, ~15 min from the Broad Ripple nightlife district | ## Tailgating Gainbridge Fieldhouse sits at 125 South Pennsylvania Street in downtown Indianapolis and publishes no tailgating policy — it has no lot to hold one in. Its bag rule is among the tightest anywhere: 6 by 9 by 1.5 inches, a small clutch, for every event. Backpacks are refused apart from single-compartment drawstring bags meeting the NBA size, hard-sided bags are out at any size, and purses or diaper bags that look like backpacks are handled case by case. Door times vary by event rather than following a standard rule, so they need checking per game. The closest covered parking is the Virginia Avenue Garage at 155 Delaware Street, entered off Maryland Street and joined to the building by a sky bridge on the third floor. ### Rules - The maximum bag size is 6" x 9" x 1.5", a small clutch-size purse, and this is the policy for all events. - Backpacks are not allowed, except single-compartment drawstring bags meeting the NBA bag-size requirements, and media backpacks screened at the media entrance. - Hard-sided bags, and any bag larger than 6" x 9" x 1.5", are not allowed. - Purses and diaper bags that resemble backpacks but are sized and purposed differently are allowed case by case, subject to management approval. - Door opening times vary by event and should be checked against the specific event. - The Fieldhouse is at 125 South Pennsylvania Street. Guests may enter via the Virginia Ave. Parking Garage bridge, or the Plaza doors from Pennsylvania and Delaware Streets. - The Virginia Avenue Parking Garage at 155 Delaware St, on the northeast corner, is the closest covered parking, entered off Maryland Street and connected by a covered sky bridge on the third floor. - The ADA drop-off zone is on Pennsylvania Street, and the Julia Carson Transit Center is two blocks away. - Denison Parking can be contacted on (317) 916-1760 for parking or bus parking near the Fieldhouse. - The arena publishes no tailgating policy. ### Best areas | Area | Description | | --- | --- | | Virginia Avenue Parking Garage, 155 Delaware Street | On the northeast corner of the building and the closest covered parking, entered off Maryland Street and connected to the Fieldhouse by a covered sky bridge on the third floor — so you never step outside. | | The Plaza doors, Pennsylvania and Delaware Streets | The street-level way in for anyone not coming through the garage bridge. The ADA drop-off zone is on Pennsylvania Street. | | Julia Carson Transit Center | Two blocks from the Fieldhouse, which makes the bus a genuine option rather than a fallback. | | Downtown Indianapolis parking | Garages and street parking throughout downtown within walking distance. Denison Parking handles parking and bus parking enquiries on (317) 916-1760. | ## Food & Drink Gainbridge Fieldhouse has a solid food program that highlights Indiana specialties. The breaded pork tenderloin sandwich, Indiana's signature dish, is the star. Sugar cream pie (the state's official pie) is available for dessert. Local craft beers from Sun King Brewing and other Indianapolis breweries are well-represented. Pricing is very affordable, Indianapolis has some of the cheapest arena food in the NBA. ### Fieldhouse Value Menu (published by the venue) Available at every home game. | Item | Price | | --- | --- | | Popcorn | $3 | | Hot Dog | $4 | | PBR / Coors Banquet Can | $8 | These are the venue's own figures.
