Conseco Fieldhouse Renamed

CNO Financial Group, Inc. and Pacers Sports & Entertainment today jointly announced that Conseco Fieldhouse will now be Bankers Life Fieldhouse. The company changed its name from Conseco Inc. last year to CNO Financial Group. CNO's subsidiary, Bankers Life, is the retirement insurance arm of the Fortune 500 company based in Carmel, Indiana


In addition to being home to the Indiana Pacers and Indiana Fever, the Fieldhouse is host to more than 500 events annually, including over 200 major events, concerts and many other world-class entertainment events, attracting nearly two million guests a year.

CNO Financial Group, formerly Conseco, is in the 13th year of a 20-year naming rights partnership for the Fieldhouse. Bankers Life and Casualty Company (Bankers Life) is CNO's largest subsidiary, providing health and life insurance products to the pre- and post-retirement market across the U.S.

"We are very excited to announce the renamed Bankers Life Fieldhouse," said Ed Bonach, CEO of CNO Financial Group. "Bankers Life is CNO's most significant consumer-facing brand, a long-established company and national market leader, with more than 5,600 agents and field employees serving over 1.3 million policyholders. It was ultimately the appropriate choice to represent CNO's values, brand promise and commitment to community on the highly-regarded Fieldhouse."

"Since the inception of this building, we have enjoyed an outstanding relationship with our partner, CNO Financial Group," stated Jim Morris, president of Pacers Sports & Entertainment. "We are excited with this change and look forward to continued success for Bankers Life Fieldhouse and Pacers Sports & Entertainment for many, many years."
