Hoosier dome

[tcoats84]

Anyone been to a concert at Hoosier Dome on Prospect St. in Indy? Just wondering what security protocols they have when entering.

 

[churchmouse]

Uh......The Hoosier Dome.

Are we back in the 90's? Doc, Marty, you guys around?

 

[Vigilant]

I'm pretty sure I was there when they imploded the Hoosier/RCA dome?

 

[MuttX7]

Pretty sure he is talking about this place:

Never been there.

 

[Frank_N_Stein]

Nope. And based on its location I never will.

 

[bwframe]

That used to be a rough neighborhood. It's not been revamped by the yuppies like some other's?

Based on Frank's reaction, probably not. A handful of blocks west of there, maybe. (fountain square)

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Nope. And based on its location I never will.

Waiters with man buns upset you?

Dude, it's Fountain Square. Not exactly Dodge City.

1627 Prospect is technically Fountain Square, but it is well east of the revitalized part of FS. Not Dodge City, but not the kind of place I hang out for fun.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Fair enough. You would know better. I have only bicycled through . . . during the day.

 

[churchmouse]

OK......I guess I am officially old and not aware of the current club scene.

OP.......at your own risk of course.

Hopefully the scalper that sold the OP the fake concert tickets offers a money back guarantee.

 

[tcoats84]

U guys crack me up. I'm not from indy but I can tell that is not the greatest part of town. If I knew I could carry the whole time, I would be more open to going.

I still call Lucas Oil the Hoosier Dome.

**** 'em, they didn't pay ME naming rights!

 

[BiscuitNaBasket]

Yeah, actually the venue owners are personal friends of mine. Just conceal it and they won't know. No pat downs or butt scopes.

What Frank said. We have had lots of issues with people getting their cars broken into over the years, but be vigilant and don't be a tourist and you'll leave with everything you brought in your vehicle.

Don't sweat it. I thought the OP was either calling Lucas Oil Stadium the wrong name, was drunk posting, or there is a venue called the Hoosier Dome. I used Google to find out.

My sister is a manager at that venue. And lives with my other sister very close by. I am in the area quite a bit as of late, and would suggest that you definitely carry. If my sister is working, I wouldn't imagine you'll have any problems so long as it is concealed. I don't think they have an "official" policy (not really that type of place that has written rules). This is also in my cousin's beat, and he has stopped by to say hey to my sister before while in his IMPD squad car... that freaked some people out

Edit: I also tease my sister about the whole "Hoosier Dome" name, as most of the regulars at the venue don't even remember the real Hoosier Dome.

Along with the folks that have already chimed in, this might answer some questions about the area:

Be sure to pay attention to the map at the end of the story.

On the other hand, live music seems to be non-existent in Indy so it's nice to see a venue catering to lesser known acts. I still miss Bentley's and Backstage.
