IMPD prepared for Swiftie takeover INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Taylor Swift and her fans will encounter detours on the roads to and from her upcoming concerts at Lucas Oil Stadium. Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department’s primary suggestions: Plan ahead. Think about taking a bus or using rideshare options to avoid parking congestion. On Friday, IMPD announced an extensive list of road closures plus a drop-off site, a rideshare pickup site, and a “parent pick-up” lot from Nov. 1-4. A news release from IMPD said, “With hundreds of thousands of fans expected in Swift City, these closures are intended to ensure the safety of concertgoers and community members.” IMPD also asked Swifties to “keep in mind that traffic and road closures may change based on real-timeconditions.” In addition, some of the usual parking downtown will be off-limits and put motorists who ignore “no parking” signs at risk of being towed, the police warned. Towed vehicles can be found at Auto Return at 323 S. Post Road, which is a fair piece east of downtown where the concert is happening. To add to the confusion or perhaps to make the driving experience less stressful for Swifties, downtown street signs down have been renamed with Swift-themed monikers. Swift’s sold-out shows, the last three in the United States as part of The Eras Tour, will start at 7 p.m. Nov. 1-3. Let’s get into it, as presented by IMPD.
