The Fishers Event Center construction is moving into the final stages, with the opening 30 days away.  Mitch List, General Manager of the Fishers Center, along with members of his staff,  provided an update Monday to the Town Hall Building Corporation on the state of construction.

The Fishers Freight Indoor Football League (IFL) team should have its schedule announced by the end of October.  List describes the schedule as “favorable” to the Fishers franchise.  The Indy Ignite women’s volleyball team has a draft schedule, not yet announced, but changes are expected.

The Event Center is staffed 100% with full time employees and 85% staffed for part time openings.  The budget is expected to be $300,000 ahead of schedule, or under budget, at the end of the year.

Several media events are scheduled between now and the opening of the Event Center, and others involving the public are expected before the opening of the new facility.

List told the Corporation board members that sales for all the events scheduled with tickets on sale are going well, with many sold out already.  About 3,000 tickets have been sold for the December 20th Mudsock rivalry basketball game between HSE and Fishers High Schools, with ticket sales expected to pick up as we are closer to the date of the contest.
