Indiana Pacers History
The Pacers have a long history that goes back to 1967, when they were a member of the American Basketball Association. They dominated that league, making the ABA Finals five times in seven years and winning three championships.They joined the NBA in 1976, when the two leagues merged.
The Pacers initially struggled in the new league, qualifying for the playoffs just twice in the first 13 NBA seasons. But things began to turn around after they selected Reggie Miller with the No. 11 overall pick in the 1987 draft. Miller led the Pacers to the playoffs in his third season, which became a trend. They made the playoffs in 16 out of the next 17 seasons, nearly spanning Miller's entire Hall of Fame career, all of which he spent in Indiana.
The Pacers were not able to win a championship in that span, though they did advance to the NBA Finals in the 1999–2000 season. They lost in the finals in six games to the Los Angeles Lakers. After a rebuilding period through the late aughts, the team advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals in 2013 and 2014 led by All-Star small forward Paul George, though they fell to Miami’s “Big Three” in back-to-back match-ups.

My family loved the seats in the terrace. It was great!!
I have been to multiple events and event types at this venue and every time without fail the experience is a perfect balance of fun and safety. Thanks for providing a great place to make great memories with friends and family.
The energy was Everything ❤️. Even though the Pacers didn’t win they played hard and I’m proud of the team.
As an opposing team's fan, we had an excellent experience. Fans in our area were cool the entire game, and the staff was great also.
Always a great experience. Win or lose they have plenty of activities and entertainment.
As someone who has been to the 500, Superbowl and final 4 in Indy there is not enough nice things to say as to how the city runs events. The hate and victual in the crowd was abhorrent. I have never seen anger at any sporting event as I witnessed in the stands here. Indy can do much better.
This was my first time going to a Pacers/NBA game all by myself. The ticket price for playoffs was a little too much. But I really want to see this Iconic Playoff Rivalry in person instead of watching it on National TV. I had a good time with a Pacers Win.
We had so much fun cheering on the Pacers. Our seats were great, the environment was awesome. The kids got on the Jumbotron a few times. Lifelong memories!
The game was electric, and the atmosphere was great!
