Extend your Gaming Experience at IND Airport

The Indianapolis Airport (IND) loves Gen Con so much that they're creating dedicated gaming spaces following Gen Con on August 20 and 21. If you're flying out of Indy post-show, these will be great locations to play games while you wait for your flights! In three dedicated gaming areas, they will provide tables and chairs with nearby signage indicating the specific gaming areas.



The three locations will be at: Civic Plaza (in the pre-security check area, just past the ticketing hall near the restaurants)

Concourse A near 96 th Steakburgers

Concourse B near Shapiro’s Deli Play spaces in the concourses will be smaller in area as compared to Civic Plaza, based on space allocation and airport operations. Help us extend thanks to IND Airport via Twitter using the hashtag #loveindy. Tweet your gaming experience at IND airport with #gencon50, and remember to leave plenty of time to make it to your gate!
