Conseco Fieldhouse

Indianapolis, Indiana, USA

Conseco Fieldhouse is unquestionably the gem among NBA arenas opened at the beginning of the millennium. Our design team focused on delivering an environment that evokes the sights, sounds and “feel” of established sports cathedrals such as Notre Dame Stadium and Lambeau Field. Exposed girders, arched windows and wooden signs pay homage to Indiana’s basketball heritage. Fans know they’re in basketball heaven from the moment they walk inside.

It’s an example of what can be achieved when people set aside their differences and agendas and direct their energies and resources toward a common goal.
