Lucas Oil Stadium and Convention Center: NAYC 2027 Guide
NAYC 2027 uses more than one event space. The official FAQ lists Lucas Oil Stadium for general sessions and Lucas Oil Stadium plus the Indianapolis Convention Center for split sessions. Knowing that before you arrive helps a group plan meeting points, walking time, accessibility needs, and a calmer session transition.
Understand the two-venue rhythm
General sessions are planned for Lucas Oil Stadium, while split sessions may take place at the stadium and the Indianapolis Convention Center. Check the official event schedule when it is released for the exact session locations, times, entrances, and any age or group guidance.
Do not assume your whole group will attend every split session together. Agree in advance on how students choose sessions, who is responsible for each subset of the group, and where everyone reunites afterward.
Use exact meeting points and time buffers
Large venues make vague directions risky. Identify one recognizable pre-session and post-session meeting point, tell students exactly when to be there, and give them the contact process if they are delayed.
Plan for walking, crowds, restrooms, water, security, and group headcounts. A few minutes of margin turns a stressful transition into an ordinary part of the day.
- ✓Review the official schedule for current session locations before each day.
- ✓Choose clear group meetup points near every venue you plan to use.
- ✓Assign adults to session groups before students separate.
- ✓Build time for walking, headcounts, and unexpected changes.
Make accessibility and supervision visible in the plan
Ask participants and parents early about mobility, sensory, medical, or other needs that affect a large-venue day. Plan responsibly and use official venue guidance when a particular accommodation is needed.
Keep the plan simple enough that a young attendee can repeat it: where to go, who to stay with, when to meet, and what to do if help is needed.
