If it doesn't get done. Do the Pacers sit this season out or do they play in another arena? (Hinkle Fieldhouse, Lucas Oil, or Assembly Hall) or move to another city temperarily because Herb Simon doesn't want to move the team at all.

Theres always the pepsi center at indy fairgrounds. they won a lot of games there, maybe we can help the current team

Since it is INDIANA they can travel round the state and come and play a game up here in Gary.

Bring the Pacers to the Genesis Convention Center.

Does anyone really think they won't work something out? It's bad for both the city and the team if the Pacers aren't playing at Conseco.
