The last time I visited the Fishers Event Center construction site, it was a cold day announcing the Indy Ignite professional women’s volleyball team as a tenant in the building.  Now, the facility is nearing completion and one can get a feel for what it will be like to see the touring events, Indy Fuel Hockey, Fishers Freight Indoor Football League action and the volleyball team.

In remarks before invited guests and media, Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness said 38,000 tickets have already been sold for the touring events, and that does not include the hockey, indoor football or women’s volleyball.  The Mudsock rivalry high school basketball contest between HSE and Fishers High Schools will be held at the Event Center December 20 and about 3,000 tickets have already been sold.

“As we stand here today, I couldn’t be more excited,” said Mayor Fadness. “We have a beautiful building that we are going to deliver on time and – knock on wood – on budget.”

Members of the media and other invited guests were given a short tour of the building, particularly to high-priced area.  The Event Center is taking reservations for VIP boxes and other amenities available.

The Fishers Event Center is one that still requires a hard hat to visit, but that will change soon – 29 days to be exact.
