Indiana Fever Breaks Ground on State-of-the-Art Sports Performance Center
The Indiana Fever, coming off an historic season led by rookie sensation Caitlin Clark, will soon have a brand new $78 million sports performance center dedicated exclusively to the team in downtown Indianapolis. This state-of-the-art facility, set to open before the 2027 WNBA season, will feature two regulation size practice courts, a strength and conditioning center, a full-service kitchen, and a spa center with massage, sauna, heat studio, and hydrotherapy pools. The three-story, 108,000 square foot building will also include a team store and offerings for Fever fans.
Pacer Sports & Entertainment CEO, Mel Raines, expressed excitement about the facility becoming the “preeminent place for players to train, recover, and push their boundaries,” as part of the goal to make Indianapolis the epicenter of women’s sports. The Fever joins other WNBA franchises that have built or announced plans for similar dedicated training facilities.
The Fever, an expansion franchise in 2000, achieved their first and only WNBA title in 2012 led by Tamika Catchings. After a period of rebuilding, the team has seen success with the recent additions of top draft picks Aliyah Boston and Caitlin Clark. Their success has led to increased attendance, jersey sales, and a return to the playoffs.
The introduction of the new sports performance center signifies a significant investment in women’s basketball in Indianapolis, reinforcing the city’s status as a major league sports destination. Ticket sales for the upcoming season have not yet been released.
