Gainbridge Fieldhouse
Indianapolis, IN · Arena
Gainbridge Fieldhouse in downtown Indianapolis does not require a clear bag. Any bag, purse, or clutch up to 6 by 10 by 2 inches gets in, clear or not, so a Pacers game, a Fever game, or a concert is easy to pack for. The limit is on the smaller side, so leave the big tote at home.
Backpacks and hard-sided bags are the ones turned away, along with anything over the size limit. Baby bags, bottles, and formula are allowed, and you can bring one empty refillable bottle 32 ounces or smaller. If you arrive with something oversized, the Hyatt Place across the street stores bags for a fee.
