The Indiana Pacers have been playing their home games at the Conseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana since 1999. Before that they used to play at the Market Square Arena. Fieldhouse is a state-of-the-art facility which can sit around 18,350 people for a basketball game. The Pacers wear navy blue, gold, silver, and white as their colors. Boomer and Bowser are the teams mascots.

Brief History

Indiana Pacers joined the NBA in 1976. Initial years were full of struggle. However, after a decade of poor show, the Pacers finally became a very competitive basketball team in the Eastern Conference of the Central Division. The period between 1994 and 2000 were especially good for the Pacers and Indiana Pacers basketball tickets. During this period the Pacers made it to five Conference Finals, won two Central Division titles and even made it to the NBA Finals in the year 2000.

Reggie Miller And Larry Bird

One player who constantly delivered for the Pacers during this period was Reggie Miller. He is one of the NBAs all time greats. He is also one of the best three-point shooters in all of basketball history. Miller was good news for the Indiana Pacers basketball tickets. However, we cannot ignore the contributions of Larry Bird also. Bird became the head coach for the Pacers in the year 1997. During his very first season with the Pacers he guided the team to 58 wins against 24 losses. For his efforts he was awarded the Coach of the Year Award that same year. In his third year as coach, the Pacers made it to the NBA Finals.

Presently Larry Bird is the teams President. Bird is known as the greatest player to come out of Indiana. In 2003, Bird hired Rick Carlisle to coach the Pacers. Carlisle was responsible for retaining Jermaine ONeal and Ron Artest in the Pacers. The Pacers finished the 2003-2004 season with 61-21 score. Furthermore, both ONeal and Artest made the All-Star team. Artest also got the NBAs Defensive Player of the Year Award that season.

Players like, ONeal and Artest had a positive effect on the sale of the Indiana Pacers basketball tickets. Jim OBrien will be coaching the team in 2007-2008 season. They would be up against some stiff competition with Sacramento Kings, Philadelphia 76ers, Chicago Bulls, and Miami Heat.
