Parking Near Gainbridge Fieldhouse
Updated March 11, 2026
Pacers game, Fever game, or concert? Here's where to park near Gainbridge Fieldhouse — with different strategies depending on when you're going.
Location advantage: Gainbridge Fieldhouse sits right in the middle of downtown, 3 minutes from Monument Circle. That means more garage options within walking distance than any other major venue in Indy. You have plenty of choices.

Budget Parking Options
Willing to walk a few extra minutes? These options save you real money.
Best evening deal: Regions Tower Garage — $4 flat after 4 PM and all day weekends. 8-minute walk to the Fieldhouse. For a 7 PM Pacers game, this is the best value in downtown.
Best all-day deal: Market District Garage — $8 max daily. 10-minute walk. Closed Sundays. Perfect for afternoon Fever games or matinee events.
Best short-visit deal: Circle Centre Garage — $2 for up to 3 hours on non-event days. If you're catching a concert and don't need to park all day, this is the move.
Weeknight Game Strategy
Most Pacers and Fever games are weeknight events (7 PM tip-off). Here's how to handle parking on a Tuesday or Wednesday night.
The play: Park at Regions Tower ($4 flat after 4 PM). Arrive by 6 PM. Walk 8 minutes to the Fieldhouse. After the game, you'll be out of the garage before the crowd hits the closer garages.
Why weeknights are easier: Most downtown commuters have left their garages by 6 PM. Weeknight games rarely sell out parking near the Fieldhouse. You have more options and lower prices than weekend events.
Street meter option: Meters stop enforcing at 9 PM. If you arrive after 9 PM (late tip-off or you're catching the second half), street parking near the Fieldhouse on Pennsylvania or Delaware streets is free.
Weekend Concert Strategy
Weekend concerts at the Fieldhouse bring bigger crowds and more competition for parking. Adjust your approach.
Pre-book for major acts: When a big-name artist plays the Fieldhouse on a Saturday, downtown parking gets competitive — especially if there's also a convention in town. Pre-book on SpotHero to guarantee your spot and price.
Arrive early, eat first: Park at Circle Centre 2 hours before the concert. Walk to Mass Ave (10 min) or Georgia Street (8 min) for dinner, then walk back to the Fieldhouse. You'll avoid the last-minute parking crunch entirely.
Saturday advantage: Regions Tower is $4 flat all day on weekends — not just evenings. Park there in the afternoon and explore downtown before the show.
Street Parking
Best streets near the Fieldhouse:
- Pennsylvania Street — Metered spots 2-3 min walk from the north entrance
- Delaware Street — Often has availability in the evening
- South Meridian Street — More spots, 5-minute walk
Meter rules: $2-3/hour, enforced Mon-Sat 7 AM-9 PM. Free on Sundays and after 9 PM. For evening events, arrive after 9 PM and park free. Pay via ParkIndy app or credit card at the meter.
Pre-Booking Tips
When to pre-book: For regular-season Pacers games, booking a day or two ahead is fine. For Fever games (high demand since Caitlin Clark's arrival), book a week ahead for popular matchups. For major concerts, book as soon as you have tickets.
