Indiana Convention Center & Lucas Oil Stadium

A $275 million expansion in 2011 further established the Indiana Convention Center & Lucas Oil Stadium (ICCLOS) a powerhouse destination for the largest events in the country – including the 2012 Super Bowl. With its striking contemporary look and sense of openness, the Indiana Convention Center redefines the character of a trade show and meeting venue. One of the largest convention centers in America, the center is connected by skywalks to more hotel rooms than any other city in the nation. Also linked to the center is a four-story urban shopping mall, surrounded by more than 200 restaurants and clubs, well-known sports venues, and a 10-block state park that features top museums, green space and a convenient canal walk. Opened in 2008, Lucas Oil Stadium is a state-of-the-art retractable roof, multi-purpose facility seating over 67,000 fans while featuring spectacular views of the downtown Indianapolis skyline. The stadium's unique features include its flexibility in design and ability to accommodate a multitude of events beyond NFL football and NCAA basketball, including concerts, national conventions, trade shows, IHSAA tournaments, international and national band competitions, and numerous other national and local amateur sports events. With over $3 billion in convention industry investments, no other city in the nation can match Indianapolis' collection of upgrades and developments.
