Entry & Logistics
Fastest gates, bag policy, and when to arrive.
- The main entrance is on Pennsylvania Street (south side). Gate 1 (Pennsylvania Street) is the primary entrance; Gate 4 on Market Street (north side) is faster for sections 201–212 and draws less pre-game congestion.
- Bag policy: clear bags maximum 12"×6"×12"; small non-clear clutch purses up to 4.5"×6.5" permitted. The 2022 renovation updated all turnstiles and entry tech - digital ticketing is now the exclusive format.
- Arrive 35–40 minutes early; Indianapolis's downtown grid is easy to navigate and parking garages are well-distributed, making Gainbridge Fieldhouse one of the most stress-free arenas in the NBA to arrive at.

Parking & Transit
Where to park, transit options, and postgame exit tips.
- The Pan Am Plaza garage (201 S. Capitol Ave, connected via skywalk) is the most convenient attached option at $20–$25; the Circle Centre Mall garages on Georgia Street are $10–$15 and a 5-minute walk.
- Gainbridge Fieldhouse is in the center of Indianapolis's walkable downtown - nearly every downtown hotel is within 10–15 minutes on foot, making it one of the easiest NBA arenas to arrive without a car.
- IndyGo Blue Line rapid transit stops nearby on Washington Street; for most attendees, the best option is staying downtown and walking - Indianapolis has heavily invested in safe, lit pedestrian infrastructure around the arena.
