In just under 100 days, the Fishers Event Center, a new state-of-the-art arena, will open its doors for its first show, Turnpike Troubadours, on Friday, Nov. 22.

In recent weeks, installations have included approximately 30 percent of the venue’s seats, the main entrance LED marquee board structure, and the LED scoreboard structure, in addition to all HVAC systems and the exterior glazing for the Indy Fuel team shop “The Garage.” Work on the west and east ribbon board continues this week, in addition to flooring and tile work in the restrooms, installation of arena lighting, framework for premium suites and loge areas, plumbing work and office carpeting.

The 7,500-seat capacity ultra-modern Fishers Event Center is situated on a sprawling 53-acre plot expanding upon the popular 18-acre lifestyle development Fishers District, and will host everything from concerts, entertainment acts to basketball games while serving as a community-focused venue for local athletes to compete, as well as for graduation ceremonies and more.
