The Indy Fuel are in their final season at the Indiana State Fairgrounds Coliseum.  The East Coast Hockey League (ECHL) minor league team is headed to the playoffs April 19, and later moving to the Fishers Events Center for their next season starting later this year.

When Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness proposed a financing plan to build the Events Center, with a seating  capacity of 6,500 for hockey, basketball or volleyball, the funding formula required the Fishers City Council to pass a food & beverage tax, which the council approved by a vote of 8-1 in October of 2022.

Fishers has already lined up 3 sports teams to call the center home – the Indy Fuel, the Fishers Freight Indoor Football League team (first season in the spring/summer of 2025) and the Indy Ignite women’s volleyball squad.

Since the Fuel play their home games in Fishers starting in November this year, it may be a good idea to see a Fuel game now.  The first playoff game will be at the Coliseum Friday, April 19, and the second contest is slated for Saturday, April 20. Tickets are available at this link.
