bankers life fieldhouse

I have been to several basketball games at Bankers Life, pro, colleg and high school. We have also been to two concerts. I consider this a great basketball arena. Very open concourses, aisles are marked clearly, plenty of concession stands. The seats are comfortable and a good amount of space so the person next to you doesn't have their arm on you. The bathrooms are clean and roomy. The acoustics for the concerts seemed good. I am not an expert in that field but I was satisfied.The is plenty of parking. There is a parking garage basically attached to it. There are several lots to the south that is a short walk. It is easy to get on the interstate from those lots.I highly recommend going to an event here.

My husband & I are season ticket holders for the Indiana Pacers. We are here a lot & absolutely love this place. They have incorporated that Hinkle Fieldhouse feel (Home to Butler Bulldogs) with upgrades. They have a unique gift shop which in the center of it is the Pacer Mascot Boomer revolving on a platform. They have plenty of places to eat including a gluten free concession. All in all I think this is a great experience not to be missed. They also host concerts & high school & college basketball tournaments as well.

It is super nice from the outside and once you walk in, it is so open and spacious! My only recommendation would be to streamline the screening and ticketing process, as we waited in line for 10 minutes.

This is a very nice new stadium. There are not a lot of restaurants, but there are enough. The lighting and seating was very comfy for an NBA game. Overall I really like the stadium but unfortunately we had a bad experience and it put a dark cloud on our total experience.

Women of Faith retreat was hosted here. Plenty of bathrooms for all these women, and not a bad seat in the house.

The place is awesome. VERY clean and new with great seats everywhere. Right in the heart of Indy. Close to everything (well...except the Motor Speedway / 20 minute drive) No wonder the Big 10 championships, the NCAA Final Four, major concerts and more are regularly held there. Yes...it was voted he best sports venue in the country.

Bankers Life is a SUPERB place to watch basketball games. I usually go to Fever games(which are quite inexpensive) and I have never had a bad seat or view. You feel like you are in the middle of the action. The big screens are sensational to watch replays and close ups. Just walking into Bankers Life is an experience in itself, the layout is incredible and exciting. Definitely a place for family fun. The only downsides to me are the incredibly overpriced concessions and parking can get expensive although usually I have not noticed spiked parking rates at the nearby Circle Centre Mall during Fever and most Pacer games. A bus stop is practically at the front door and many buses routes are there so that is a great option if riding the bus is convenient for you. Go to Bankers Life for a GREAT sports experience!

This review is slightly misleading as the venue itself was great. More than enough food/drink choices, great clean bathrooms, and huge comfortable seats. But do not park in the arenas parking garage. We waited 45 minutes with the entire garage after a concert because the workers would not do their job and block traffic to let us out. They blamed it on their manager. Who knows what the real cause was but there were a LOT of angry people!

Was here for a concert. Nice, clean place. Staff extremely courteous and helpful. Very patron friendly...wide concourses, lots of food/drink offerings, great sightlines. Floor folding chair seats are very narrow as is the legroom. If you are above average in weight or height you are going to be crammed into your seat. Good luck trying to get up to get a drink or go to the bathroom. In these sections, if there is any type of emergency/fire it would be total chaos. Sightlines are good. The pitch of the permanent seats is very steep(lots of steps) which makes for better sightlines and puts you on top of the action. In fact, the floor is about 60 steps down from the concourse to the floor.I was told ahead of time that the acoustics for a concert were poor. I would agree. This looks like a tremendous facility for a basketball game.

I have been here three times (one Pacer game, and two concerts). Lots of signage to find your seating section. I think it is a nice venue to take in a Pacer's game, we were sitting way up towards the top and had a fairly good seat. For both concerts, we sat in the stands on the second level, the other we were on the floor. The sound was good at both concerts.The seats themselves are rather thin width-wise, so if you are a bigger person, you are not going to have a lot of room. Padding was adequate. The food and beverage here is way overpriced. Sneak in your own bottled water and some snacks. Some of the bathrooms are really small, like half a dozen urinals in one with one stall. The lines with these bathrooms can be extra long given their poor design. Paper towels run out quick too.

This is a great place to watch a Pacer's game, concert, hockey game, or many other events. I have been there many times and it is a great venue. It is very conveniently located in Downtown Indianapolis with lots of nearby parking, restaurants, and hotels within easy walking distance. Check out the buffet in the Varsity Club - located on Club Level - for a great meal during the game. Be sure to make reservations well in advance.

I liked this venue because it gives you the opportunity to see shows for certain price for seating. What I disliked about the place is the food courts are too expensive.

The arena is very modern and up to date and every seat offers a great view of the game. Every seat is a seat and not a bench even in the upper decks which is very nice.

Fantastic venue, many view it as one of the best places to watch a basketball game in the country! The newer screen is huge and great as well for those that sit a bit high.

I have been here for multiple things: concerts, Women of Faith, Joyce Meyer, Pacer games, etc. Not a bad seat in the house and a great new jumbotron screen for the higher seats!
