Conseco Fieldhouse

Pros: Basketball heaven, great overall experience
Cons: none at all

This is basketball's Mecca, it is that simple. The greatest pro-basketball field ever built. Not only do you get basketball, but you get the whole experience. It is wonderful, allow me to take you through my experience, from my perspective.

...

Pros: Good location, excellent sightlines, more than just a game.
Cons: Not as loud as MSA

When the Pacers announced that they would be replacing MSA with a newer, more modern arena, I failed to see the need. I had been to MSA many times and knew first-hand of the problems with the facility. However, I still enjoyed attending events at MSA....

Pros: user freindly, sense of history
Cons: lack of noise

As you walk into the new modern building, it quickly throws you back into yester year. New & retro collide to make one of the most outstanding complex's in the NBA.


History is abundant from the rich golden past of hoosier hystery;...

Pros: very nice, new arena with all the amenities
Cons: not good sound up high

The new Conseco Fieldhouse is a very nice structure aesthetically, and the sightlines inside are well laid out. The location of the arena is right downtown within walking distance of all the nightime activities, restaurants and bars. I've been to a...

Pros: Beautiful, full of historical items
Cons: Not a one

The Vatican. Mecca. The Temple of Salt Lake City. The West Wall. All of these places are sacred places for pilgrims of various religions to visit. Now, a new temple has been built: The Conseco Fieldhouse, the sacred shrine of the religion known as...

Pros: What a beautiful venue!
Cons: None, unless you get nervous because of heights.

My family and I live in Indianapolis, and I have worked across the road from the Fieldhouse ever since they were building it, and we never really had the opportunity to go until earlier this week, when Game #2 of the Pacers/Celtics playoffs were not...

Pros: Beautiful new building, architecture was wonderful
Cons: High concessions and tickets on the floor

I made my first ever trip to a Pacers game earlier this year. I had been to several events in the old Market Square Arena and was figuring that this was going to be a lot like that old dump! Imagine my surprise!
This place was beautiful! I walked...

Pros: great atmosphere
Cons: none, but price, and that is everywhere

I like many other people miss Market Square Arena - the old home of the pacers. It held great memories and housed many great events (did you know that it is the site of Elvis' last live performance? or the site of Wayne Gretzky's professional debut?)...

Pros: View, food, parking, price, etc.
Cons: Don't get stuck in the balcony

I've been to the RCA Dome many times. I've been to various college arenas. But nothing could prepare me for what I was about to see when I entered the Conseco Fieldhouse. Imagine yourself as a small child seeing Disney Land for the first time. I know...

Pros: Design, atmosphere and amenities.
Cons: Only a few minor flaws.

Before I review Conseco Fieldhouse, I should make a point of it that I was not there for a Pacers game, or any NBA game at all. I went to Conseco Fieldhouse this March for the Big Ten men's tournament, moved this year from Chicago. This is what I...

Pros: The best arena ever built
Cons: Too much to see

I am a sportswriter, and I have been to literally hundreds of arenas from coast-to-coast. From Major League ballparks to small elementary gymnasiums, I have been there.

My favorite, being from Indiana, is basketball gymnasiums. Indiana is...

Pros: State of the art facility
Cons: Downtown, parking can be expensive

Having seen several events now in the new Conseco Field House, I am still amazed each time enter the building. Walking through the halls you feel like you are in a shopping mall or a museum, depending on where you are in the structure. Having seen...

Pros: Environment
Cons: Price of tickets

Some people feel that this isn't the bast place to see a concert. Since I haven't seen a show there, I wouldn't know. But, for basketball games, this arena is the best. The aesthetics are superior to any other arena. The fieldhouse is designed like...

Pros: Great New Facility
Cons: So much stuff to look at, I didn't watch all of the game.

I went and saw the Indiana Pacers battle the Atlanta Hawks at Conseco Field house and it was a GREAT Experience. However with the amount of Nastalgia there I noticed I spent more time looking around than watching the game. My tickets were in the 20th...

Pros: You enter it and sit down....
Cons: You leave and wonder why you left...

Well lets see where do I begin...Ok I will start here. I hated the idea...of Conseco Fieldhouse. Why you ask, OK I will answer....I loved Market Square Arena (MSA RIP), the old arena for the Indiana Pacers. OK, I was angry at first as many of my fellow...
