Indiana Fever Ask Fans to Help Pick New Practice Facility Mural
The Indiana Fever are asking the public to help choose a mural artist for the team’s new Sports Performance Center.
INDIANAPOLIS | The Indiana Fever are turning a new practice facility into a public-art moment, asking fans to help choose the artist for a mural at the team’s Sports Performance Center.
Axios Indianapolis reported that the Fever, Pacers Sports & Entertainment and the Indy Arts Council launched a public survey tied to the mural planned for the team’s $78 million facility. Three Indiana-based finalists are under consideration: Siena Baldi of Indianapolis, Koda Witsken of Fishers and Alex Ann Allen of South Bend.
The mural is planned for the north exterior wall of the Sports Performance Center. The project gives fans a small but visible role in shaping how the new building will look and how the Fever present themselves as women’s sports continue to grow in national attention and local investment.
The facility itself has already become a statement. The Fever previously released renderings for the $78 million, 108,000-square-foot Sports Performance Center, describing it as a major year-round training and performance home for the team. Adding public art connects the building to Indianapolis’ broader arts community.
Public sports facilities and team headquarters often become landmarks, especially when they are tied to a rising franchise. A mural can turn a training site into a photo stop, neighborhood marker and community symbol. It also gives Indiana artists a chance to connect with the momentum around the Fever and the WNBA.
The survey is open through June 14, according to Axios Indianapolis. For fans, the choice is partly aesthetic and partly civic: what should the Fever’s new home say about the team, the city and the future of women’s basketball in Indiana?

What this means
The mural vote matters because it connects sports growth with local art. The Fever’s new facility is not just a training center; it is becoming part of the city’s visual identity.
