Gainbridge Fieldhouse, an iconic indoor arena in downtown Indianapolis, Indiana, opened in November 1999 as the proud home of the NBA's Indiana Pacers and the WNBA's Indiana Fever. Its distinctive brick and glass facade, designed by Ellerbe Becket, evokes classic Indiana field houses, reflecting its primary purpose as a premier basketball venue. The arena underwent several name changes, initially known as Conseco Fieldhouse, then Bankers Life Fieldhouse in December 2011, before adopting its current name, Gainbridge Fieldhouse, through a partnership in September 2021.
Throughout its history, it has hosted significant events, including the 2000 NBA Finals, the 2002 FIBA World Championship, and notably, witnessed the Indiana Fever win the 2012 WNBA Finals on its home court. Beyond professional basketball, it frequently hosts prestigious college tournaments like the Big Ten Conference championships and the 2011 NCAA Women's Final Four. This versatile venue continues to solidify its reputation as a cornerstone for sports and entertainment in the region.
