Last night, we drove from St. Louis to Indianapolis for the Garth Brooks concert at Gainbridge…read moreFieldhouse, and overall, I really enjoyed the arena and the experience. One of the biggest bonuses was the location. It was an easy walk from our hotel, and if the weather is warm, you can actually walk through the convention center, which is air-conditioned. That was a huge plus! There were also plenty of bars and restaurants along the way, so you have lots of options if you want to grab dinner or drinks before the event. As soon as we arrived, there were Fever signs and decorations everywhere. My girls are huge Indiana Fever fans, so of course I had to take approximately a million pictures for them! Even though Gainbridge is home to the Fever, I really appreciated that they didn't make the arena feel like it was only about the home team. There were plenty of photo opportunities and decorations specifically for the Garth Brooks concert, along with promotions for upcoming events featuring other artists and teams. It made the arena feel very welcoming to everyone, regardless of what brought you there. Every staff member we encountered, from the people outside to those inside the arena, was incredibly friendly and helpful. And they have a Chick-fil-A inside, which is always a win in my book! Our seats were up in the 200 level, which is definitely getting into nosebleed territory. The stairs were extremely steep, there wasn't a ton of legroom, and as a larger person, the seats felt a little tight. Once we got up there, though, we basically decided we weren't leaving until the concert was over because getting back up and down those stairs was an adventure! Thankfully, the concert itself was fantastic, so we didn't mind staying put. One of my favorite little details was the staff name tags. Under their name, they had the word "Drafted" along with the year they started working at the arena. I thought that was such a fun and unique connection to the team and a really clever way to make the staff feel like part of the organization. Overall, I really liked Gainbridge Fieldhouse. The location was convenient, the staff was fantastic, there were plenty of places to eat nearby, and I loved how they incorporated both the Fever and the Garth Brooks event throughout the arena. My only real complaint was the seating in the 200 level--especially the steep stairs, limited legroom, and tight seats. But the concert was amazing, the atmosphere was great, and we had an awesome night. I'd definitely come back to Gainbridge Fieldhouse; next time, though, I might try to get seats a little closer to the action!

The stadium is in its 4th season and is clean, accessible, and has a lot to offer! The food is any stadium quality food and they have tried to upgrade the options with some speciality burger offers. There is a large area perfect for letting kids play in the outfield. There is always a stand set up if you need to buy some new IU gear too. Pack a cooler and come early if you're interested in tailgating before the game! Make sure to pack the sun screen!

Somehow only just now have made it to a game at Hinkle Fieldhouse, and I have no complaints…read more There doesn't seem to be a bad seat in the house. Even the seats on the side are angled into the center of the court, so you're just a bit more comfortable. The glass on the front row of the upper level gives more of a viewing opportunity. The natural light is a great tough, getting to see just a little bit of the Indiana sunset as you take in the game. Even the concession stands are thought out enough to be inside the playing area, which makes for some difficult line navigation but cool nonetheless that you don't miss any action while waiting. In true Indiana style--and I mean this in a great way--this feels like an expanded Indiana high school gymnasium built for basketball rather than a big arena for multi-use at a university. This place was MADE for basketball. Highly recommend a game here.

What a fun experience to take our children to their first Butler game! My husband is an alumni so…read moreour house is decorated in Bulldog decor and are huge fans. We snagged excellent seats but they were occupied by a bunch of students, who begrudgingly eventually did move. We went to the VIP section where they celebrated with Fat Tuesday cakes, cookies, another beverage stand, veggies, etc, met the Merchants frog, and had a fun Night together. The bathrooms were clean, admission into the facility was quick and easy, security check points moved fast and overall, both kids had a pretty smooth introduction to sports in the safest environment possible!

There are so many options throughout the venue, the technology is impressive, and the sound system is amazing. My only wish is that they opened even earlier than 90 minutes before games because I always want more time to explore everything. It feels like there is so much to see and enjoy, and I never have enough time to take it all in. I truly cannot praise Gainbridge enough. It is such an incredible place to experience a game.

If you're going to live in Indiana, you're eventually going to get hooked on basketball. I attended…read moremy first Fever game last week! The Fieldhouse was packed with fans and the excitement was contagious. I was thrilled to see women's sports at the same level as men's. The team has come a long way. The Fever has gained national fame with the addition of Caitlin Clark. While Caitlin didn't play during the game that I attended due to injury, she was engaging the crowd like a champ from the bench. We got to our seats early and Caitlin was signing autographs and talking to kids. It was fun to watch. The team played together incredibly well, hitting many three point shots. These athletes are great role models for young people. The team had even drawn in Hollywood celebrity fans and nationally renowned authors. I felt like I was part of history being made. So the tickets and parking are expensive. We had pretty good seats and it was worth seeing the players up close. The communications from the ticket office were excellent. I received notices regarding gate procedures and even what colors to wear! I highly recommend attending a game (or several) and supporting the Fever.

Very easily accessible lots of entrances and really hasn't felt crowded yet. Lots of concession stands all over the place as well as little smaller kiosks with people selling various things. In addition, game day is here from ESPN, so it is absolutely crazy out in the tailgate area. Lots and lots of tailgate spaces lots of sponsored areas lots of giveaways tons of fun stuff to do on a football game Saturday morning. Tickets were not overly expensive though, since Indiana is good this year they are selling out some of their games. they also gave towels at each of the seats for the game. Lots of music playing lots of energy in the stadium great day.

So, I graduated from IU in 1989. During my time there, I lived walkable distance to IU Memorial…read moreStadium. I was in the stadium during a graduation ceremony (not mine - it was bad weather and we had to have it elsewhere). But, I never went to a football game. So, this year, we decided to correct that. My wife and I went to see the Northwestern / IU game on and took our two kids with us. It was cold in November, but we dressed appropriately. I stewed over which seats to reserve and when we got there, I realized we had great seats but also, there really is not a bad seat in the house. It was a great time (helped that IU won!). The stadium has a great college atmosphere to it, it is easy getting in and out (we parked at the stadium - easy peasy). We had some football game food that was not gourmet, but better than average for a football game. We just sat on the bench. I saw other people come in with seat pads or seat chairs. I read how someone was not allowed to do so - but I saw others doing it so I don't know what the deal was there. I also had no issues getting the seats that were sold to us. We had a great time and I look forward to going back. My suggestion is go make a day of it and experience some IU with a game if you are going.

I have attended two high school graduation ceremonies at this venue and both were really nice…read more There is ample parking and seating available, and we were able to invite as many members of our families as we wanted. I wish that they would make some kind of rule that people cannot reserve entire rows of seating for guests that have not yet arrived, but I suppose that is a personal preference. Their concessions were open, and they had a stand out front where you could buy flowers and mementos for the graduates, which I thought was nice. If you happened to be "up in the rafters" they also had huge screens where you could view the ceremony from the perspective of cameras that were strategically placed around the stage. Parking was $10, but I feel that it was well worth it to be able to have so many family members and friends with us on such a joyous day!

I got this experience for my husband for his birthday. We've been waiting months for the day to…read morecome around. I first saw this as an ad on Facebook for The Xtreme Xperience, I was very skeptical, it was a lot of money. I don't trust Facebook ads since I've been screwed by a couple companies. I did a lot of on line research and found out this was a legit company, i was still apprehensive. They have you sign waver after waver, on line in person and online again. We went to Putnam Park Road Course. Please use you GPS, Google Maps or Waze. The address we had took us to a side gravel road. Being able to see it on the map I was able to go to the next cross road and turn right a coupe times and we were there. At the gate we signed a paper waver. Already did one waver on line. After the gate we parked and had to scan a QR Code to sign another waver and get wrist bands and lanyards and a USB thumb drive ( more on that ). Husband went to a safety training class for about 20 to 30 minutes. After that it was time to line up for his ride along. He did the ride along around the course i think twice. He totally enjoyed that. Then on to another line for his car. He is a big guy so I reserved him one of the few vehicles that would accommodate his size and height plus the helmet. If you don't fit in the car you don't get a refund. Read all the rules there are very few and exact reasons you might ( might ) get a refund but it is unlikely. Even bad weather doesn't count. He was in a Ford Mustang Shelby GT500. He had a blast driving. He was actually a bit more apprehensive then I thought he'd be. I am always telling him to slowdown when he drives. i had no desire to do this it was all for him. He said the program was very good. Everyone was helpful and courteous. No issues. When you are done you go to a tent and they plug in your USB Thumb drive so you can see the video. I thought the Video was included, it was not it was another 65$ but you pretty much gotta have it. I also got him a T-shirt it was 30$ while he was in the class. Worth it because he was so happy.
