ERMCO, Inc.
ERMCO is very proud to have been a part of the construction of Conseco Fieldhouse, home of the Indiana Pacers NBA franchise. The "retro-styled" Fieldhouse is the first of its kind in the NBA and has received world wide recognition as one of the best sports facilities.
Conseco Fieldhouse replaced the aging Market Square Arena with many needed improvements including larger seats widths, concourses that are nearly twice as wide and in some case even more, a separate practice court viewable from the street level, more vending space, and a larger gift shop among many other things. The building houses 18,345 seats for basketbal including 69 suites and 2,400 club seats. In addition to basketball, Conseco Fieldhouse is used for concerts, convention events, hockey games, as well as multiple other events.
Work completed by ERMCO on the project includes all the Electrical work, Sport Lighting, Temperature Control, Security, Sound, Private Suites, and Bride Power.

The Owner Managed Insurance Program for construction of Conseco Fieldhouse began in July of 1997. At that time, most insurance agencies familiar with the implementation of OMIPs were not convinced that this project was of a size to warrant such a program. This included most, if not all of the insurance brokerage firms. In their opinion, a project with an estimated total cost of construction of $150 Million was too small, given the rate structure in the state of Indiana, to provide any savings to the Owner (Capitol Improvement Board of Managers of Marion County, Indiana, and others). However, because of the commitment to safety from the Owner, Safety Management Group, the Construction managers, and the contractors themselves, the program was a tremendous success.
The results of the two year program produce OMIP Credits from Contractors at $1.89 Million, Insurance Program Premiums/Fees $1.72 Million, Investment Gains $128 Thousand and a Program Savings to the Owner $303 Thousand.
