Indiana Fever

The WNBA’s Indiana Fever were founded in the league’s inaugural season in 2000. The Fever’s legacy took shape in 2001 with the draft of Basketball Hall of Fame legend Tamika Catchings. The team quickly became playoff mainstays culminating in a WNBA championship in 2012 under coach Lin Dunn and a team featuring Catchings, Katie Douglas, and Tully Bevilaqua. Today, the Fever are building a new generation of talent under coach Carlos Knox.

The Fieldhouse of the Future

Gainbridge Fieldhouse is currently undergoing major renovations. While most of the work inside the arena is complete, the spectacular new Bicentennial Unity Plaza is being constructed on the north side of the arena. Slated to be completed in 2023, the plaza will be an outdoor gathering space that features a basketball court during the summer and an ice-skating rink during the winter. Public art and community programming will make this space an iconic addition to this already spectacular facility. Please pardon dust during construction.
