The Fishers Event Center stands as a testament to the power of innovative precast construction, combining speed, efficiency, and high-quality design to deliver a premier entertainment destination in Indiana. This state-of-the-art, 8,500-seat arena is more than just a sports venue, it’s a dynamic hub for athletics, concerts, and community events, home to the Indy Fuel, Indy Ignite, and Fishers Freight teams.
The Fishers Event Center redefines versatility, hosting everything from professional hockey and volleyball to concerts and large-scale events. Its design highlights the strength, adaptability, and precision of precast concrete, proving that modern sports architecture can be both functional and visually striking.
By leveraging the advantages of precast construction, this project not only met an aggressive timeline but also delivered a world-class venue that will serve as a cornerstone of Indiana’s entertainment landscape for years to come.
The Fishers Event Center features 429 precast components, including stairs, risers, slabs, and wall panels, totaling 45,868 SF of high-performance concrete. All elements were cast in a structural gray mix with form-finished bottoms and trowel-finished tops for durability and a clean aesthetic. The project’s success highlights precast’s ability to deliver speed, precision, and long-term value for large-scale entertainment venues.
Precast Benefits
The Fishers Event Center showcases precast concrete’s key advantages: rapid construction without sacrificing quality. With 429 prefabricated components manufactured off-site, including stairs, risers, and wall panels, the project achieved fast-tracked assembly and met its tight November 2024 deadline. Precast’s controlled production environment minimized weather delays and ensured precise, consistent installations.
Every element – from structural gray concrete pieces to form-finished surfaces – was engineered for both durability and aesthetic appeal. The system’s precision eliminated field-cast inconsistencies, crucial for an 8,500-seat venue requiring flawless performance during high-energy events.
Built to last, the precast components provide exceptional resistance to heavy use and extreme conditions. The material’s inherent strength, fire resistance, and low maintenance needs make it an ideal long-term solution for this multi-purpose sports and entertainment hub. This project proves precast concrete delivers both immediate construction efficiencies and lasting structural value.
