Naptown Weekend: Pacers Host the Mavs, Conan Gray Takes Over & 90s Legends Rock the 317
Luka comes to Gainbridge, Conan Gray launches his arena tour, and Blues Traveler & Gin Blossoms bring the nostalgia to Fishers.
Circle City is stacked this weekend. The Pacers welcome Luka and the Mavs to Gainbridge on Sunday, Conan Gray kicks off his Wishbone World Tour at Fishers Event Center, and there’s 90s rock, mariachi magic, and stand-up comedy across the 317. Here’s how to run it.
🏀 Indiana Pacers vs. Dallas Mavericks
Sunday, Feb 22 | 5:00 PM at Gainbridge Fieldhouse
The Indiana Pacers host the Dallas Mavericks at Gainbridge Fieldhouse for a Sunday evening showdown. Cooper Flagg and the rebuilding Mavs roll into town, and you already know the Fieldhouse is going to be loud. This is an early-evening tip, so you can make a whole day out of it—brunch, hot chicken, and then hoop. Tickets are available on Ticketmaster.
The Move: Hotboys Indy in Fountain Square is the pregame play. Load up on Nashville hot chicken before you head to the Fieldhouse—Virginia Ave to Pennsylvania St is a quick ride.
