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 96th 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.
