Women’s basketball is surging in popularity right now, with more teams, media coverage, fan attendance and star power. The Chicago Sky WNBA team is a force to be reckoned with. Another incredible team to take the family to see is the Indiana Fever in Indianapolis, led by WNBA 2024 Rookie of the Year, Caitlin Clark.
Get goosebumps watching these powerful women dominate the court and swoosh 3-pointers as the packed stadium goes wild. The energy at an Indiana Fever game is on-point and inspiring for girls, boys, men and women alike.
The Indiana Fever play at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in downtown Indianapolis, in an arena built for basketball, where the Indiana Pacers also play. Over 17,000 fans can be seated in this retro, yet modern stadium that was designed to make fans feel close to the game. The atmosphere is electric and most seats have an unobstructed view, even the higher up ones.
Families can soak up a memorable experience watching the fast-paced, strategic game. High-energy music plays, fans cheer and the furry mascot, Freddy Fever, dances, skates and tosses T-shirts into the crowd. Chow down on a tenderloin sandwich, cookie dough or nachos piled high with toppings. Family night tickets start at $28 and include a Fever hat, hot dog, Cheez-Its and drink. Children under age two do not require a ticket.

- Arrive early to watch player warmups and grab any giveaways

- Enjoy live entertainment like dance squads and t-shirt tosses
- Be ready for your spotlight on the kiss cam or dance cam
