I knew some sporting event had to fit into my schedule over the four days in November for my trip.<\/p>\n<p>The Colts were out of town, but that didn&#8217;t matter much because I had to leave on a Sunday anyway. Indy doesn&#8217;t have a minor-league hockey team. They do have a junior-level team, but their rink was not downtown near my hotel (I wouldn&#8217;t have a car) so I didn&#8217;t even check to see if they played when I was in town.<\/p>\n<p>My first choice of diversion was the Butler men&#8217;s basketball team. I really wanted to see a game in Hinkle Coliseum, where they filmed final game of &#8220;Hoosiers&#8221; The Bulldogs&#8217; run to the NCAA final last season also made them appealing, but their one home game during my stay did not fit into my schedule.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" style=\"margin: 10px;\" src=\"http:\/\/photos.indystar.com\/photos\/2010\/11\/20\/431209\/immersive.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"306\" height=\"260\" \/>That left the Indiana Pacers. I didn&#8217;t see them as a fall back. I just wondered if I could manage to find a ticket in the price range I wanted without having to sit in the nose bleeds. Luckily, the Pacers played twice during my visit, giving me a really good chance of seeing a game.<\/p>\n<p>As it worked out, I ended up going to both. I&#8217;m not the biggest NBA fan, but found the first experience pretty exciting. Of course, it helped that I scored a ticket in the club level for $30 (my maximum) and spent the entire game watching from the restaurant in that level. They had a row of seats which looked out onto the court above one baseline. I had a fantastic view of Blake Griffin since the Clippers were in town.<\/p>\n<p>The restaurant had a really good buffet (for another $30) and a much better beer selection than you would find in the seats. I never considered going to my section because of the great view and atmosphere in the restaurant.<\/p>\n<p>Two nights later, I scored a $20 seat in the middle level, actually in the section below where I ate and watched the previous game. The Orlando Magic put up a much better fight than the Clippers did, but I still bailed early to go enjoy some other parts of Indianapolis.<\/p>\n<p>I know the NBA has lots of problems, but I can see why it still resonates with many people. I have slowly come to re-discover the league thanks to Bill Simmons&#8217; ESPN podcasts, and these games made me realize how fun the league can be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I found out last year that I had to travel to Indianapolis for business for a few days, I immediately began to make plans.
