===Market Square Arena (1974–1999)===
[[Market Square Arena]] was home of the Indiana Pacers from 1974 to 1999. The first Pacers basketball game ever held in the arena was a preseason game against the [[Milwaukee Bucks]]; attendance was 16,929. The first regular-season ABA game in the arena was held on October&nbsp;18, 1974, against the [[San&nbsp;Antonio Spurs]]; the Pacers lost in double overtime, 129–121 in front of 7,473 fans. The 1974–75 season ended for the Pacers with the ABA Finals played in Market Square Arena and [[Freedom Hall]] against their archrivals, the [[Kentucky Colonels]]. The Colonels defeated the Pacers in that championship series, winning the ABA title in five games. The 1975–76 Pacers won their final home ABA game in Market Square Arena with a 109–95 victory against the Colonels. (Kentucky won the next game by one point to win the series and advance, ending the Pacers' ABA tenure.) The Pacers continued to play in Market Square Arena after they joined the NBA, with their first game at the arena as an NBA team being a 129–122 overtime loss to the [[Boston Celtics]] on October&nbsp;21, 1976. [[Michael Jordan]]'s return to the [[Chicago Bulls]] after his first retirement took place at Market Square Arena in a loss to the Pacers on March&nbsp;19, 1995.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.jumpman23.ch/joc_10_mj_02.jpg |format=JPG |title=Basketball photograph |publisher=Jumpman23.ch |access-date=May 9, 2015 |archive-date=February 12, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150212190850/http://www.jumpman23.ch/joc_10_mj_02.jpg |url-status=dead }}</ref> The final Pacers game to be played in Market Square Arena was a pre-season exhibition game against the [[Utah Jazz]] on October&nbsp;23, 1999.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.upi.com/Archives/2001/07/08/Market-Square-Arena-torn-down/8905994564800/|title=Market Square Arena torn down|work=United Press International|date=July 8, 2001|access-date=December 12, 2022|location=Indianapolis}}</ref>
