The Indiana Pacers won three ABA titles while playing at the coliseum at the state fairgrounds. Gordon Hayward’s half-court heave nearly gave Butler a national championship at Lucas Oil Stadium. Kobe Bryant’s first NBA title run went right through Bankers Life Fieldhouse. All six will be venues for this year’s NCAA Tournament.
