MixedEvery bag fits the same small limit
The useful pre-entry check is three-part: bag dimensions, parking pass, and ticketed area. A garage pass, infield camping package, Free Fan Zone visit, and grandstand ticket do not imply the same access.

Its current INDYCAR guidance makes the main planning choices unusually concrete: bags must fit a 9-by-10-by-12-inch limit, outside food is generally prohibited, parking entry is separate from race re-entry, and the Free Fan Zone has different stroller access from the grandstands.

- Bags & entry
- Official bag & entry policy (opens in a new tab)All bags must be 9 by 10 by 12 inches or smaller and are searched. A soft cooler within that limit may contain sealed bottled water and ice; empty reusable bottles and cups are allowed, while hard coolers and ordinary outside food are prohibited.
- Parking
- Official parking & directions (opens in a new tab)Use the current race-weekend parking page and buy the parking pass ahead of time when offered. Keep the race ticket and parking credential separate because a race hand stamp supports pedestrian re-entry, not free vehicle re-entry to a State Fair Park lot.
- Arrive
- Opening times vary by race-day program. Purchase event parking before travel when available and arrive early because accessible spaces are first come, first served even when the parking pass itself was bought in advance.

- Getting there

Parking At A Glance
Parking difficulty
Parking options (opens in a new tab)Paid State Fair Park lots with event entrances, first-come accessible spaces, and no ordinary vehicle re-entry
- What to do
- Use the current race-weekend parking page and buy the parking pass ahead of time when offered. Keep the race ticket and parking credential separate because a race hand stamp supports pedestrian re-entry, not free vehicle re-entry to a State Fair Park lot.
- Best option
- Match the selected lot to the current official parking diagram. Accessible spaces exist in State Fair parking lots on a first-come basis, and advance parking purchase can reduce the transaction at the entrance without reserving a particular accessible space.
- Avoid
- Do not drive out expecting the race-event hand stamp to preserve the parking space or fee. The venue explicitly says re-entry is not allowed in State Fair Park parking lots.

MixedRace re-entry is not parking re-entry
Strollers and wagons are permitted in the Free Fan Zone but not in the race grandstands. The venue provides accessible seating and facilities, while specific accessible parking remains first come.
03
PositiveFan Zone and grandstand rules differ
The paved mile sits within a larger fairgrounds campus. Water filling stations and bubblers are available, and an empty reusable bottle is the simplest hydration plan under the current carry-in policy.

Editorial verdict
FanProof Takeaway
Reviewed 9.14.26
Bring no bag or one within 9 by 10 by 12 inches, use an empty refillable bottle, buy and save the current parking credential, and do not confuse race hand-stamp re-entry with vehicle re-entry to the parking lots.
