Public grand opening of the city’s new stadium with a ribbon cutting and tour opportunities. Included on the tour is the chance to walk on the field and see non-public areas such as a suite and locker room, as well as an opportunity to purchase refreshments at concession stands.

The event will begin with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on the Stadium’s northside exterior at 9 a.m. This historic occasion will be officiated by Governor Mitch Daniels, Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard and other dignitaries and participants involved with the project. Following the ribbon cutting, the public is invited by the ISCBA and the Capital Improvement Board (CIB, the entity that will operate the building) to take a self-guided tour of the Stadium during three sessions: at 10 a.m., 12 and 2 p.m. The event will conclude at 4 p.m.

Admission for the tours is free, but tickets are required and will be available through Ticketmaster beginning July 14th.

StubHub is now a part of eBay. Even before the purchase of StubHub by eBay, I bought many tickets from them and never had a single issue. You will not be unhappy with the service you receive.

Celebrating 51 years of tradition, the IPL 500 Festival Parade will return to the streets of downtown Indianapolis on Saturday, May 24, 2008.
More than 300,000 spectators will kick-off race weekend while enjoying time with family and friends by watching the pageantry and larger-than-life floats light up the city.

Children will be amazed by the sight of some of their favorite costumed characters, Last year’s event featured Angelica and Chuckie from the Rugrats, Fred Flinstone and Barney Rubble.
The tradition continues with the 33 starting drivers of the Indianapolis 500 serving as honorary grand marshals the day before the race, riding in the traditional rows of three, with the winner of the pole position bringing up the rear.
The 2007 Parade was one of the most spectacular as the 500 Festival celebrated its 50th Anniversary and the 50th Parade.  The 2007 Grand Marshal was Indianapolis Colts Quarterback and Super Bowl XLI Most Valuable Player Peyton Manning.  Nationally-known celebrities, costumed characters, marching bands, patriotic units, specialty units, spectacular floats and giant helium balloons filled the streets to celebrate the world’s largest single-day sporting event, the Indianapolis 500.
