Live updates: Night 2 of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour has Indy abuzz with Swiftie spirit
We’re baaaaaaaack!
With Night 1 of Taylor Swift’s record-setting Eras Tour stop at Lucas Oil Stadium in the rearview mirror, we’re ready for Night 2 to begin. Tens of thousands have descended upon Indianapolis for the final three U.S. shows of the tour, and the city is absolutely abuzz with Swiftie spirit.
IndyStar journalists are back out on the streets for Day 2 of Eras Tour weekend, meeting fans, exchanging friendship bracelets and bringing you all the sights and sounds of downtown Indianapolis.
Our takeaways from Taylor Swift’s N1 Indianapolis
While Post Malone did not show, Caitlin Clark did. Taylor Swift enchanted the more than 70,000 beglittered and sequined fans who filled Lucas Oil Stadium despite facing some minor technical difficulties. Here are five takeaways from Taylor’s Friday night concert.

Lucas Oil Stadium bag policy
Generally, fans should expect to be able to enter with clear bags no larger than 12″ x 6″ x 12″. Logos smaller than 3.4″ x 4.5″ are OK as long as they’re on one side of the bag. Non-clear bags cannot be larger than 4.5″ x 6.5″, not including a strap or handle. Fans can also bring one gallon-size clear plastic bag.
Not allowed are backpacks, briefcases, luggage and non-clear and clear bags larger than the previously stated dimensions.
Eras Tour rideshare and pickup locations, downtown Indianapolis road closures
There will be a slew of road closures to manage traffic around Lucas Oil Stadium this weekend, so if you’re trying to get in or out of downtown, take heed. Many surface streets and some interstate exits will be closed, mostly after 11 p.m.
A standalone rideshare pickup zone on South Street between Missouri and West streets will operate from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. Friday through Sunday.
Only Uber, Lyft and other rideshare drivers will be given access to this area. Rideshare drivers will have to drive down South West Street to pick up riders and then can either continue south, going under I-70, or travel westbound on Kentucky Avenue to get out of the zone.

The ninth round of the 2026 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship will take place on Saturday, March 7, as Lucas Oil Stadium hosts the Indianapolis Supercross. This will be the third round of the 250SX East Division championship and will be our second Triple Crown event of the ’26 season.

On Saturday, qualifying can still be seen on Race Day Live beginning at 1 p.m. EDT/10 a.m. PDT on Peacock. The Race Day Live broadcast will end with the two last chance qualifier races to determine the gate picks for the main program/night show Triple Crown races.
The SMX Video pass broadcast—which is available only outside of the United States—will start at the same time. Once again, there are Spanish and French broadcasts as a part of the 2026 SMX Video Pass this year, just as they were last year.
Viewers can also listen to audio from the full night show broadcast each and every weekend of SMX in its entirety on SiriusXM Radio (with Indianapolis also starting at 7 p.m. Eastern/4 p.m. Pacific).
The Progressive Grand National Cross Country (GNCC Racing) Series is back in action this weekend at Talladega Superspeedway in Lincoln, Alabama. The Talladega GNCC will have both Saturday’s pro ATVs (2 p.m. EST/11 a.m. PST) and Sunday’s pro bikes (1 p.m. EST/10 a.m. PST) broadcasted live by the RacerTV crew.
And the FIM Motocross World Championship (MXGP) kicks off this weekend with the MXGP of Argentina on Saturday (qualifying) and Sunday (points-paying motos). You can watch the action live on both days on MXGP-TV.com or catch the delayed broadcast of the second motos on CBS Sports (might want to DVR this with the late night time!).

Chase Sexton out for at least another round, Indianapolis Supercross, with practice injuries
Chase Sexton will miss at least one more round of the SuperMotocross World Championship to heal from injuries suffered in practice prior to the Daytona Supercross, the Kawasaki Racing team announced on social media. He will miss Round 9 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Sexton got off to a disappointing start with his new team, finishing eighth in the season-opener at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California. He rallied to finish fourth the following week in San Diego after coming out of the gates slowly, and then won his first race with the team in the second Anaheim event.
With a forthcoming off-week following the Indianapolis Supercross, Drew Adams could return in time for the East / West Showdown in Birmingham.
Since then, his best finish has been fifth, which he scored in the Houston Triple Crown event and in Seattle.
After missing Daytona, Sexton is fifth in the championship standings, tied with Justin Cooper at 49 points behind the leader, Hunter Lawrence.
An off-week follows the Indianapolis Supercross, giving Sexton additional time to heal.
Dylan Ferrandis hurt his thumb in a Daytona heat race, but an MRI reveals there are no broken bones.

Find your furry friend at Lucky Tails Adoption Event in Indianapolis, all fees waived
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Feeling lonely and in need of a friend?
Check out Lucky Tails Adoption Event on Saturday, March 14, hosted by Indianapolis Animal Care Services. All fees will be waived and every pet available has been microchipped, spayed or neutered, and is up to date on vaccinations.
