INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana Pacers fans will have no shortage of food options this season at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
Pacers Sports & Entertainment and Levy unveiled the new offerings on Monday, along with some exciting news to make your trip to the concession stand a shorter one.
Local businesses were featured at Monday's event, including a new pizza provider, HotBox Pizza, and concession stands for women-owned Please & Thank You Cookies and BeatBox Beverages.
New technology will also make picking up your food easier, while missing less of the game.
At the home opener Sunday, Oct. 27, two concessions stands — Boom Baby Burger and Delaware Street Pizzeria on the Krieg DeVault Level — will allow fans to order ahead via QR code and pick up their order without waiting in line.
"I am excited for the new offerings, the way we are maximizing new technologies, and our continued commitment to shining a light on Indy’s amazing local food scene," said PS&E CEO Mel Raines.
Those local options include the return of the Guest Chef program, sponsored again by KeyBank. Nine local chefs will prepare signature dishes for sale at The Kitchen located on the Main Concourse near Section 17.
A portion of the proceeds from the Guest Chef stand will be donated to local nonprofits.
Eight local chefs have already been selected to participate in the program this season:
- Tasha Claytor – T Street Eatz
- Adrian Samano – Samanos Taqueria
- Mycoe Andrews – Spice Grille
- Brady Foster – Foster catering
- Marlon Ricardo Llewellyn and Bryce Anthony Llewellyn – Scotchy Jamaican Grill
- Darryl Howard – T'Days
- Christian Manansala – Pinoy Garden Cafe
- Juszina Kendrick – Classy Diva Caters
