As a local, I was beyond excited to get an exclusive first look at the brand-new Fishers Event Center during its preview night. This modern, state-of-the-art venue, just 20 minutes northeast of Indianapolis in Fishers, IN, is already making waves as a major destination for events, concerts, sporting events, and more. It is the largest mid-sized event venue in central Indiana, and after attending the preview, I can confidently say that this place is going to be such a game-changer for the area!
From the moment I stepped through the doors, I was impressed by the sleek design and thoughtful layout of the space. The Fishers Event Center isn’t just a venue, it’s a versatile, high-tech hub for entertainment and community activities. Whether you’re attending a concert, cheering on the Indy Fuel hockey team, or enjoying a show, this venue has everything you could ask for and more.

The Venue: A Glimpse Inside the Fishers Event Center
The Fishers Event Center is massive, with a seating capacity of 7,500. It was designed to accommodate a wide variety of events, from sporting events and concerts to family shows. I was lucky enough to tour the venue during a preview night, and let me tell you, this space is truly impressive.
I had the chance to check out the luxury suites and locker rooms, and I was blown away by how modern and spacious everything is. The suites are beautifully designed with a great view of the arena. They’re perfect for hosting groups of guests or enjoying a game in comfort and style. The locker rooms, where the Indy Fuel hockey team will prep, are top-of-the-line, designed to provide the athletes with everything they need to perform at their best.
A Home for Sports Fans
As the new home of the Indy Fuel, the venue is an exciting addition for hockey fans in the area. But it’s not just for hockey—Indy Ignite, a women’s professional volleyball team, also calls the Fishers Event Center home. And if football’s your thing, you’ll love the exciting action from the Fishers Freight, a new Indoor Football League (IFL) team. This venue is set to become a must-visit for sports fans across central Indiana.
During the preview, I could really feel the energy of the venue. It’s designed to keep fans engaged and excited, with comfortable seating, amazing sightlines, and a great atmosphere. Whether you’re a die-hard sports fan or just looking for a fun night out, this place is going to be packed with excitement year-round.
Not Just for Sports: A Versatile Event Space
While the Fishers Event Center was built with sports in mind, it’s also an incredible venue for all kinds of events. From concerts to comedy shows, there’s something for everyone here. During the preview, we were treated to a sneak peek of some of the shows coming up.
In addition to getting a behind-the-scenes tour of the Fishers Event Center, I was fortunate enough to attend one of its first shows: Lindsey Stirling’s Snow Waltz Tour. For those who haven’t heard, Lindsey Stirling is a violinist, dancer, and performer who has garnered a huge following with her unique blend of classical, electronic, and pop music. Seeing one of her holiday shows has been on my Christmas bucket list for awhile, so I was SO excited when I saw she was coming to my hometown.
The Snow Waltz Tour was a magical holiday concert, filled with stunning choreography, breathtaking visuals, and of course, her incredible violin skills. The Fishers Event Center was the perfect setting for this spectacular performance, offering a truly immersive experience. The acoustics were phenomenal, and the intimate atmosphere made it feel like a special occasion from start to finish. Lindsey kept the crowd engaged throughout the entire show and even involved us all in a fun TikTok video that she later posted on her social media pages.
If the Snow Waltz Tour is any indication of the kind of shows the Fishers Event Center will host, we’re in for some unforgettable nights!
