★ From the Vault ★
An Indiana Almanac
Four eras kept under climate control. Each room of the Vault has its own door — the door is open.
The Eras
Climate-Controlled
2000 — 2004
Building the Fieldhouse
Expansion. A new building. A draft pick named Tamika Catchings. The team learned to build itself around a player who hadn't taken the floor yet.

Defense Wins It
Lin Dunn, Tamika in her prime, and a 2012 championship over the Lynx. Five-time DPOY. One Finals MVP. The franchise's only ring.

The Long Goodbye
One Finals run, then a fifteen-year rebuild that took longer than anyone wanted. Seven head coaches. A lot of lottery balls.

2023 — Present
Sold Out
Boston first. Clark next. The Fieldhouse full again, every night. A generational guard and a city that learned to love the W.
