Get ready for the biggest Phantom Regiment Pre-Finals Party we’ve ever had.
Join alumni, members, families, friends, and Phans at The Dugout Bar to reconnect, swap stories, and celebrate everything that makes Phantom Regiment special. Four Finger Distillery will be open, Flags for Good will be hosting a special event across the street, and there will be plenty of other activities happening throughout the block.
Beat the Finals traffic by grabbing a parking spot near Lucas Oil Stadium early, then enjoy the short walk, or hop on a scooter, along the Indianapolis Cultural Trail to join the celebration before heading into the stadium.
Whether you marched in 1960 or 2026, or you’ve simply cheered from the stands, this is where the Phantom phamily comes together before Finals.
Visit The Phan Shop
Located across from the concession stand at the Northwest corner of Lucas Oil Stadium, you won’t be able to miss The Phan Shop!
Grab your stickers, t-shirts, and more. You might need extra room in your bags to take home a brand-new wardrobe. 😉
Or shop online and get free shipping now through the end of the weekend!
Due to limited space and site regulations, all rehearsals this week are closed to visitors. We know how much our friends, fans, and families love getting a sneak peek, but during this final push, we need to keep our focus tight and our spaces clear.
We can’t wait for you to see the finished product. So be sure to grab your seat in Lucas Oil Stadium and cheer loudly!
