Pacers declare Game 3 a gold out ahead of first home playoff game in five years
Fans at Gainbridge Fieldhouse will receive a gold t-shirt a Friday's game as the Indiana Pacers host the Milwaukee Bucks for Game 3 of their first-round series.
Gold outs are back for the Indiana Pacers.
The team announced on Monday that Friday’s home game will be gold out, so every fan in attendance will receive a gold t-shirt. Moreover, the Pacers will be wearing their gold Statement Edition Nike uniforms.
The Bucks had green rally towels at Game 1 and will distribute t-shirts for Game 2 on Tuesday at Fiserv Forum.
Friday’s game — note the start time, 5:30 p.m. ET — is significant because it is the first home Pacers playoff game 1) in five years, since April 21, 2019 against the Celtics, and 2) since Gainbridge became the naming rights sponsor to the fieldhouse (in 2021).
Here’s a photo from their last gold out:
The Pacers recorded 17 sellouts during the 41-game regular season, up from seven during the 2022-23 season. They were 26-15 in those games.
Game 4 will then be played on Sunday at 7 pm ET. Both games will air on national TV (ESPN, then TNT), along with Bally Sports Indiana.
