10 Arenas & Stadiums in Indiana That You Shouldn't Miss

June 3, 2021 Natalie Tallman

With beaches, boating, and salmon fishing in Michigan City and Gary bordering Lake Michigan, there is more to Indiana than might appear at first glance. The agricultural heartland even has cross country skiing and snowmobiling to go with the Cornball Express. Southwest Indiana near Evansville is renowned for the well-preserved Native American Angel Mounds State Historic Site. The largest city and state capital is famous worldwide for its Indianapolis 500 race. Even locals living in the suburbs often overlook the Indianapolis Museum of Art, Eiteljorg Museum, NCAA Hall of Champions, the old Union Station museum cluster, and downtown Canal Walk, to name but a few landmarks. South Bend is synonymous with the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame.

Forested Nashville’s art colony fame dates to the early 1900s when Impressionist Theodore Clement Steele overwintered in The House of the Singing Winds. It is now the T.C. Steele State Historic Site. View paintings and sculpture at the I.M. Pei-designed Indiana University Museum of Art. Attend an IU sports event or an opera, ballet, concert, or theater performance. Treat the family to The Little Nashville Opry or The Bill Monroe Bluegrass Park. For healing mineral springs, head south to Orange County, Indiana’s spa resort center.

Enjoy golf, fishing, boating, cross country skiing, snowmobiling, and ice skating in the nation’s agricultural heartland. Monticello and Rensselaer are west of Logansport and north of Lafayette. Take the family on the Cornball Express and Hoosier Hurricane at the Indiana Beach Amusement Resort in Monticello. Play boardwalk carnival games, or let the kids loose on the go-carts. Pile the family into their vehicles for an old-fashioned movie experience at Monticello’s Lake Shore Drive-In. Indulge in a weekend dinner boat cruise to hot band sounds as the Madam Carroll plies Lake Freeman.

One of the top sporting venues in the U.S., this vast sports arena for the athletically celebrated University of Notre Dame was originally built in 1930 and remodeled in the late '90s, increasing seating capacity to over 80,000.

My husband who's been a fan for over 40 years got to go to his first ever Notre Dame game !! We took in all the Football Friday festivities as well !! Very well organized with much to see and do . Trumpets under the Dome , The Marching Band , the players walk out, Stadium Tours , great reasonable food all over the campus grounds , and even shuttle golf carts that help to get you around if needed. Just flag them down ....and they are more than happy to help. Friendly volunteers everywhere !! Game day we parked at the Saint Mary's College which was close by , $25 and helps the students , we walked from there to the game and took a free shuttle back because it was getting dark by then. Oh I almost forgot , the band Chicago played at halftime and there were also Fighter jets that flew overhead . On this particular day , the Irish won , 52-0 against Bowling Green .Tons of photo ops all over .... just make sure to read what you can bring and what you cannot and you'll be all set . Enjoy and Go Irish !!

Four Winds Field at Coveleski Stadium

Reviewed By 8kimms

Our family thoroughly enjoys our trips to this amazing minor league ballpark! When it was acquired by the Chicago Cubs in 2014, they did an extensive renovation and rebranding that has made this ballpark a great spot for people of all ages! It's quaint enough that we're comfortable with our tweets/teens wandering around to check things out on their own. They have a splash pad, playground, and fun zone with giant inflatables. Their store is top notch and has the old South Bend feel to it! With regularly themed nights, there is always something new and interesting to take part in and they are GREAT at hosting their littlest fans!

Assembly Hall is a great place to see a basketball game. If you can afford it, splurge on lower level seats. The upper level is very steep and if you have trouble with stairs like me....it was scary.. GREAT FANS too. Their student section is CRAZY.

Indiana Memorial Stadium

Reviewed By 364ansleyv - Wooster, United States

The Indiana University Memorial Stadium is a real experience. The recent renovations and additions to the facility make it one of the best college football stadiums I have seen. Also, the digital displays and interactive camera work are a wonderful augmentation to any home football game. Even if you are not that into football, you can still have a wonderful fall experience. Tailgating is a big deal in the lots and fields around the stadium, but be sure to save some room for snacks during the game.
