Pacers announce ‘Gold Out’ for Game 1 against Bucks
All fans in attendance will receive a gold T-shirt to unify Gainbridge Fieldhouse as the 2025 NBA Playoffs get underway in Indianapolis.
The Indiana Pacers have homecourt advantage for the first time in 2014 — and they intend to keep it.
The team is calling on fans to help turn Gainbridge Fieldhouse into a sea of gold.
Ahead of Game 1 of their first-round playoff series against the Milwaukee Bucks, the Pacers announced plans for a “Gold Out.” Every fan in attendance — full capacity is 17,274 — will receive a gold Pacers playoff T-shirt to wear during the game, aiming to create a unified atmosphere inside The Fieldhouse.
The team, meanwhile, will wear their white City Edition uniforms for each home game after finishing the regular season 17-4 in these threads. (And the Bucks will be in black.)
“The chance to start the series at home is an honor and a privilege,” said head coach Rick Carlisle. “But with it comes the responsibility that we've got to be really vigilant about our edge and our compete level.
“Our fan base has been amazing for the last several years. But we need we need the Fieldhouse to be as wild and loud and crazy as it's ever been. We've drawn an opponent that's playing at an extremely high level.”
Here’s what the t-shirt for Game 1 looks like:
Game 1 tips off at 1 p.m. ET on Saturday — the first game of the 2025 NBA Playoffs. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver plans to be in attendance.
This is just the latest move by the organization to rally support for a young, exciting squad led by All-Stars Tyrese Haliburton and Pascal Siakam.
The game will air locally, as usual, on FanDuel Sports Network Indiana — and be seen by a national audience on ESPN with two Indiana natives on the broadcast: Michael Grady and Fever head coach Stephanie White.
