Indianapolis, IN 46202

Set in downtown Indianapolis, the arena is conveniently located on the IU Indianapolis campus, close to major city attractions and dining districts.

• Parking: On-campus parking is available in nearby garages and lots; event parking is typically available within walking distance.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive about 60 minutes before game time to allow for campus parking and a smooth entry. The venue’s compact layout makes getting to your seat quick, but the added time helps you avoid pre-game lines and catch warmups.

Because it’s an indoor arena, weather rarely impacts your event experience — great news during colder months in Indianapolis. If you’re parking in a campus garage or surface lot, expect a short, easy walk to the entrance.

Public transit via IndyGo is a convenient option if you’re staying nearby. If you’re using rideshare, coordinate pickup after the game a block or two away to avoid congestion — you’ll benefit from the quick campus street grid around downtown.

Venue Navigation

The Jungle - IUPUI is easy to navigate thanks to its single-level bowl and intimate footprint. Once you’re in, concourses lead directly to reserved bleacher sections around the court, and you won’t have to contend with long stair climbs or distant upper decks.

Pre-Event Planning

Make the most of your visit by exploring downtown before or after the game. The arena’s central Indianapolis location puts you close to districts like Mass Ave and Fountain Square, along with local favorites throughout the core of the city.

If you’re interested in a quick pre-game stroll, downtown highlights such as White River State Park, the Central Canal, and Monument Circle are nearby. These spots are perfect for photos and an easy walk before heading to your seats.
