The home of the football Hoosiers has a new name.
IU fans, meet Merchants Bank Field at Memorial Stadium.
The naming rights deal is worth $50 million over 20 years. It also includes financial literacy courses for Hoosier athletes so they can manage their NIL income.
ALERT: #GasPrices appear to be rising to $3.39/gal in #Indiana today. This is a non-warranted price cycle after yesterday's large plunge in oil and wholesale gasoline prices.
Whether the Pacers win or lose Game 7, this is a season fans will talk about for the rest of their lives, but the In-Season Tournament run last season may have been the true beginning of this journey to the NBA Finals.

“Put yourself over everything.”
-this building for some reason
Downtown Indy construction update: the old CSX building across from Gainbridge Fieldhouse is now rubble.
The 13-story Shinola Hotel and a 4,000 seat concert hall managed by Live Nation will rise on the site.
Info on what’s coming: www.wrtv.com/news/local-n...
The speedway calls and I must go.
This has to be the wildest week in Indiana sports history.
-Pacers pull off a comeback for the ages against their hated rival
-Jim Irsay dies
-Indy 500, complete with Penske cheating allegations
-Fever and Caitlin Clark start their season in the spotlight
Go Pacers.
Indiana weather. Sun on one side, doom on the other.
Good Lord, Pacers.
Game 3. Watching from the nosebleeds. Let’s go, Pacers.
Indianapolis progress: the quickly-rising Signia Hotel is starting to make its presence known in the downtown skyline.
23 of the 38 floors are done and it will rise more than 400 feet in the sky when it is topped out this fall.
Before these high school seniors walk the stage, they walked through the past and reminisced on their younger days.
YES, ‘CERS.
Indiana Lt. Gov. Micah Beckwith recently called the Three-Fifths Compromise, the law which defined Black people as three-fifths of a human during slavery, “a great move.”
These Hoosiers want him to apologize immediately.

The end is here for (part of) Circle Centre Mall.
The southern half of the mall is now closed for good as it prepares for redevelopment.
A sad day in Fishers. Hamilton Southeastern football star Mason Alexander is being laid to rest after he was killed in a car crash this month.
He was a freshman at the University of Pittsburgh. His teammates made the trip to the service to pay their respects.
I did not, but it was wild living in North Carolina to hear the near-universal experience of people watching March Madness in class growing up.
I do some outrageous things to get Indiana’s attention sometimes…like pretending to be Lionel Messi for 15 seconds.
He also broke up Curt Schiling’s no-hitter attempt against the A’s.
In case you're wondering, Carmel/Hamilton County does have *some* kind of public transportation: Hamilton County Express, which is not actually operated by the county.
Ridership has increased, but it recorded as many rides in one year as IndyGo's Red Line has in a month.
If Carmel’s large school buses can get through roundabouts (and they do), it’s probably not as big of an issue as you might think.
If you live in Carmel and want to take the city's transportation and mobility survey, all the info to do so is right here.
The phrases "Carmel, Indiana" and "public transportation" don't normally go together, but the city is now asking its residents if it should consider adding mass transit options.
WAIT
WHERE IN INDIANA IS THIS
Spoke with @wrtv.bsky.social’s Adam Schumes this afternoon about the hit-and-run this morning that killed a woman who was in town for work.
Far too many pedestrians and bicyclists in Indianapolis are being struck and killed by cowardly drivers who leave the scene.

People in Indy know Indiana Avenue was the center of Black history and culture...but they also know how it was mostly hollowed out and demolished through urban renewal.
I dug through the archives and found this piece from 1986. It's jarring to hear how Indiana Avenue was described then vs. now.
