With the Indiana Pacers season now underway, parking downtown in the evenings is more of an adventure. But even close spaces can be found for reasonable prices. Here are a few tips:
- For the plan-ahead crowd, you can reserve a spot in advance and remove the hassle of hunting for parking. A handful of garages and lot owners allow you to make a parking reservation (book now) before you head downtown.
- The most convenience place to park is the Virginia Avenue Parking Garage, a 2,200-space garage that connects to the stadium via a walkway over Delaware Street. Prices vary but the standard rate for all day is $12, and some spaces are reserved. If you want a deal, ask for the roof rate.
- Your most frugal bet is to find an empty meter space a few blocks from Conseco Fieldhouse, and walk a few blocks. Most meters cost $1 per hour until 9 p.m. on Saturdays.
- Privately owned lots and garages near the stadium generally charge between $10 and $15 for special events.
