Nearly every professional sports franchise in Indy offers a fan program for kids and you’ll even find some college sports teams offering similar opportunities. Members typically receive free or discounted tickets to home games, complimentary swag, access to members-only events and activities, and other perks. Fan club memberships make great experience gifts for holidays and birthdays, whether your child already has a favorite team or you want to encourage an interest in something new.
New to the Indy sports scene? Athletics are an essential element of Central Indiana’s culture, economy, and general vibe. Even casual fans can get in on the fun. Indianapolis sports teams tend to create an extremely welcoming, engaging environment for families attending games with kids. Stadiums may offer amenities like sensory rooms and nursing spaces, kids’ meal deals, kid-friendly activities, and more.
