What To Know About The Indiana Convention Center

The 2024 CSG Indy Challenge is headed to the Hoosier City and the Indiana Convention Center, a venue familiar with competitive cheer and dance and their premier events. 

The Indiana Convention Center has been a destination for major events since the 1970s and continues to attract every kind of show, sporting event, concert, pageant, meeting, expo, and more to downtown Indianapolis, thanks to frequent updates, renovations, and growth that keep it on the cutting edge. 

The property includes dozens of meeting rooms, 11 exhibit halls, multiple ballrooms, and Lucas Oil Stadium, which opened in 2008 and hosted the Super Bowl in 2012. 

There are more than 7,000 hotels rooms in the area, including 4,700 connected to the Indiana Convention Center via skywalk – which means never even having to deal with any extreme Indiana weather. 

The venue is 15 minutes from the airport and surrounded by 200 restaurants and shopping opportunities of all kinds, so there will be more time to enjoy the city and delicious cuisine.
