Scott Dalton, ANC Field Operations Manager, and Technical Support
Pictured here behind-the-scenes with supporting ANC Technicians during the 2025 NBA Finals, ANC's Scott Dalton has been on-site at Gainbridge Fieldhouse for every live event since 2013, nearly the entire length of the Indiana Pacers x ANC partnership beginning in 2010.
In addition to major events like the 2025 WNBA and 2024 NBA All-Star Weekends, ANC Technicians such as Scott perform walk-throughs throughout the building, providing control display network maintenance and venue control software updates to ensure the technologies stay in peak condition 365 days year-round.
As the ongoing venue solutions partner to Pacers Sports & Entertainment since 2010, ANC designed through a collaborative process with the PS&E, the venue's massive digital makeover as part of the large multi-phase renovation at Gainbridge Fieldhouse (formerly Bankers Life Fieldhouse) in preparation for hosting the 2024 NBA All-Star Game.
The transformed venue experiences delivers fans an impressive 4mm Center Hung Scoreboard with 4mm Underbelly, display technology activations such as concourse and atrium digital media, the 1.5mm Fine Pitch LED "Selfie Wall", new Club and Hospitality display systems, as well as driving unique content experiences to the new Bicentennial Unity Plaza exterior LED sphere.
Recently, the Indiana Pacers continued to add digital signage improvements, including six massive endzone wall displays measuring 11.02' x 44.09’ (three behind each basket), a main ribbon board measuring 2.13’ x 1,000.53’, and three closed-caption ribbon boards, each 2.36’ x 18.9’.
As part of the long-term partnership which began more than a decade ago, ANC integrates with the venue’s production staff to create content and operate the display system for every event at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Central to the all-new digital experience is ANC’s LiveSync operating platform, which synchronizes all the existing and new digital displays, including the 600 square feet of fine pitch technology, through pre-programmed and live event operation of the system.
As the turnkey full venue solutions partner, ANC collaborates with the team on the designs of new technologies, oversees the execution and integrations, and provides ongoing service support including team graphics by ANC Studios content creation designers.
“Since 1999, [Gainbridge] Fieldhouse has been part of the terrific resurgence of Indianapolis’ downtown as an iconic venue where millions of guests each year have enjoyed a world-class experience in an increasingly global city,” says Rick Fuson, Pacers Sports & Entertainment President and CEO. “We have now completed the first step in modernizing the Fieldhouse, preserving what has always made it unique while creating experiences for the fans of today and tomorrow.”
