Quick facts

Booking for a playoff date: how it actually works

Playoff hotel demand in Indianapolis moves in two spikes. The first hits when a home game becomes possible (a series lead, a clinch scenario); the second — much bigger — hits the moment the date is official, usually just days before the game. Rooms near Gainbridge Fieldhouse and in Downtown Indianapolis go first, then demand ripples outward.

The play: book a refundable room during the first spike, before certainty. If your team doesn't get the game, cancel free. If they do, you're holding a room everyone else is fighting over at double the price.
