Construction of a new 18,000-seat Conseco Fieldhouse began in July 1997 and it opened in 1999. The Indiana Pacers opened their new $183 million retro-style fieldhouse to an enthusiastic crowd. The Venue replaced Market Square Arena and offers fans better sight lines, better concession facilities and a host of other improvements. Its design is intended to reflect a high school fieldhouse.
The Venue features 71 luxury suites, including two party suites and 2,500 club seats. The Venue has a 400-seat Varsity Club for the club seat holders.
Other amenities include larger and more locker rooms and improved press facilities.
The team agreed to a new 20-year lease and must pay off $150 million in bonds on Market Square Arena. The team also gets all revenue and must pay $500 million in damages if it leaves before its lease expires.
Courtside single game tickets range from $120 to $395.
In 2006, the club added a new club called Legends. Legends and the $5,750 annual membership will include tickets to all NBA Pacer and WNBA Fever games. Seats are personalized with name plates and members will have access to private parking.
The Legends membership also offers access to a private bar, conference and dining rooms and in-seat wait service. The restaurant, which is run by Levy Restaurants, will seat 120 people. Levy currently operates the Varsity Club, which is exclusive to the suite and club seat members. (Basketball. Facilities, Financial, Professional Sports, Venue, Women)
