I agree with Rick Fuson, it’s going to be fantastic!!!
What’s the latest on the proposed bar that Sardar Biglari wanted to open next to this space?
Good question. I hope that he falls on his face since he’s driven Steak N Shake into the ground..
what, you don’t want to visit the Sarbar and order drinks from a touchscreen kiosk and be nickel and dimed, at a rooftop bar that isn’t actually a rooftop bar?
It might last shorter than the Nate Bjorkgren, if that’s even possible.
As season tickets holders we are very excited about this development. My only suggestion would be to tell Cunningham group not to scrimp on the menu/food quality. We love your restaurants but your changes at Bru downtown (food and managers) after the pandemic has removed us from their “regulars list”. Looking forward to trying all the businesses at this new development.
I’m disappointed. This sounds like a very nice development but for a development directly next to the Pacer’s Stadium, I was hopping for something more commoner friendly not so much pandering to those with deep pockets. What makes Wringlyville and Deer District awesome is that business there are for everyone and from that become essential parts of the community specially the common sports fan.
I live within 5 mins of walking from gainbridge field house and I probably go to about 10 to 15 games a year. From how Commission Row is being described, I don’t see myself going more than once or twice a year. If I going to a game or a concert, I want something quick and causal. Not a high scale steak and seafood restaurant, there’s plenty of those around. I want a place that I can meet up with friends before or after and have a quick beer.
I also realize that there serval places near by that also meet that description such as Kilroy’s or district tap. But with the project being located directly next to the stadium, I thought they could have made it there own and offer up something more unique. such as a place to have watch parties or an extension off the plaza that could offer outside dinning along with a balcony bar that Indy needs more of.
This along with the other improvement the Pacers have made to stadium (suits, courtside lounges, and premier side clubs) just feels like its all for those with deep pockets. I wish there was more for common folks.
There are dozens of “fast casual” dining establishments within your 5 minute walk to Gainbridge. To have devoted this prime space to “just another” restaurant/bar would have been short-sighted. Yes, attending professional sporting events has become a costly proposition. But for many, attending one or two games a year is a special, big deal. So too would be experiencing Commission Row when it opens. You only live once, might as well make the most of it.
There is going to be a more causal establishment down stairs that sounds more inline with what you are wanting.
Cool,what’s next?! Continue.
With the deteriorating downtown area that included 23 restaurants closing permanently leaving no place for the average nor deep pocketed individual to catch a meal prior to a professional sports teams event and/or concert, etc. Commission Row will hopefully reverse the deterioration of the downtown area and “start” to fill the gap created by the exit of so many restaurants from the downtown area and start the journey to bring the downtown area back to par with other major cities to enable Indianapolis to attract major events.
No place to catch a meal before a game? I count at least 50 restaurants within a four block radius of the fieldhouse, haha.
No matter your position on the development, it’s good to even see developers taking a chance on downtown Indy. The Simon’s have dedicated a lot of money into downtown indy over the years. Places like Louisville would love to have such a jewel to help develop their city. Indy cells itself the amateur capital of the world, well developments like this and more are needed to live up to the claim. Great Job Simons and I’m hearing they have plans to develop a hotel and apartment building just up the street as well.
Kevin P.
From what I’ve heard and read, Simmons are deveopimg an apartment building
and a hotel.
I would like to see Simmons combine the two and build one major building
that would probably wind up being around 450 feet tall.
I would like to see the city assist in that if possible.
It would be the first major building of over 400 feet high to be built in almost
35 years. Longer than any of our peer cities.
A building around 450 feet tall would be a great addition to our skyline
and serve as a major focal point & signature building for Simmons.
A true win/win for the city and Simmons.
Skylines ( new towers being built ) show confidence, pride, vitality,
and progress.
Keith B I like your idea. I wonder do city leaders and developers ever take a peek at the comments we leave on these topics?
Kevin P.
Thanks
I think city leaders should read the comment sections regarding economic development especially.
We some very knowledgeable people in our community, especially on this
IBJ website.
Many smart well informed people with sensible ideas that could help
the city grow and prosper.
It’s very difficult to contact our city leaders and get feedback let alone an
acknowledgment of an idea. The bureaucracy is unbelievable at the
Indianapolis Development of Metropolitan Development. They won’t return
an email let alone acknowledge it.
Other local chamber of commerce agencies same thing. Bureaucracies.
I think we have some very talented individuals running some of these
organizations. The problem is a lack of coordination with other agencies
and local developers.
Too bureaucratic
Like the rest of the upgrades to the Fieldhouse, is this development subsidized with taxpayer dollars? If so, I feel bad for the other restaurants in the area that don’t have that advantage.
As I understand it, Commission Row as well the proposed hotel and apartment building are being fully funded by the Simons (so you can relax that grip on your wallet).
