On Friday and Saturday of last week, I attending the Women of Faith Conference in Indianapolis, Indiana. It was fun and inspiring. It was held at the Conseco Fieldhouse, downtown, Indianapolis. I was curious about the history of the building and was surprised to learn that it is only 10 years old! It is fashioned after the old Hinkle Fieldhouse of Butler University, Indianapolis, Indiana. If you have watched the movie, Hoosiers, you have seen the gym at Hinkle Fieldhouse. Many of us Hoosiers still gather on Friday and Saturday nights to watch Indiana’s favorite sport: basketball. Basketball is part of the heritage of Indiana.
We all have noticed that large sports centers are often named for businesses who are willing to pay for their name to be associated with said structure. Those naming rights gave this old looking new building its name. Conseco is a financial services organization based in Carmel, Indiana, less than 20 minutes from downtown Indianapolis.
Conseco is the home of the Indiana Pacers and the Indiana Fever. The Indiana Ice also use Conseco Fieldhouse as their home arena for a few games a year.
