Pacers fans flock to Gainbridge Fieldhouse for NBA Finals watch party
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Game 2 of the NBA Finals tips off tonight in Oklahoma City. Back here Indiana, the Pacers are hosting a watch party at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
Official watch party tickets sold out within 30 minutes of being released. But you can still attend the watch party according to Ticketmaster, verified resale tickets are available for resale.
Gates for the watch party open at 7 p.m., with the game tipping off at 8 p.m.
Concessions are open and the jumbotron is lowered. Inside the arena, fans will also be able to check out the massive Larry O’Brien trophy.
This evening will also feature in game giveaways, the Pacers Entertainment Team and Concourse Entertainment.
“I think the Pacers will be ready to go. Rick will have it ready to go. But here, it’s a watch party again. I’m looking forward to it,” play-by-play announcer for the Pacers Chris Denari said. “I’ve helped host two of them. I was in Oklahoma City for Game 1, but I’ll be right here tonight with all the great Pacers fans at the Fieldhouse.”
With Game 2 tipping off this evening, we asked Denari about the keys to the Pacers winning and going up 2-0.
“Well they’ll hopefully get off to a little bit better start than they did in Game 1. We know this team is capable of a comeback — but get off to a better start, take care of the ball,” he said. “… Don’t get behind so early, but if they do, don’t go away. Because you’ll never want to go away from this Pacers team.”
Denari says he can feel the energy from all of Indianapolis and the state.
“It’s something special to go around town seeing people with their Pacers gear on. You go in the neighborhoods, people are flying Pacers flags. This is just a chance to bring people together, right?” Denari said.

Indiana sheriff busted for theft after GPS locator ties him to stolen election campaign signs
VERNON, Ind. (WANE) A grand jury last week indicted the Jennings County Sheriff on multiple charges following a six month investigation by Indiana State Police involving the alleged theft of campaign signs.
In November 2025, Troopers from the Indiana State Police-Versailles Post were contacted by a candidate for Jennings County Sheriff, who reported having campaign signs stolen that had been placed around area roadways. The candidate then placed a GPS locator device on one of his signs. When that sign was stolen, he tracked it to a dumpster located on the property of Jennings County Sheriff William “Kenny” Freeman, Jr.
Troopers went to Freeman’s property and retrieved the sign and the GPS locator from Freeman’s dumpster. They also found other campaign signs in the dumpster including a sign for a Jennings County Judge candidate, who also reported having campaign signs stolen.
Soon after troopers located the stolen signs in Freeman’s possession, Freeman issued tickets to both political candidates related to the placement of their signs.
Because the investigation involved an acting sheriff, a request was made for both a Special Prosecutor and Judge. The Dearborn and Ohio Counties Prosecuting Attorney Lynn Deddens was appointed along with Ripley County Superior Judge Jeffery Sharp. The case was presented to a Jennings County Grand Jury this past Thursday.
The Grand Jury reviewed the case and indicted Freeman on the following charges:
*Theft (2 counts)-Class A Misdemeanor
*Official Misconduct-Level 6 Felony
*Obstruction of Justice-Level 6 Felony
*Perjury-Level 6 Felony
