The New York Knicks are in downtown Indianapolis tonight for Game 3 of their [playoff series vs. the Indiana Pacers](https://www.si.com/nba/kenny-smith-perfect-joke-tom-thibodeau-knicks-rough-first-half-pacers) on Sunday night, and let's hope any New York fans who traveled for the contest either opted not to drive or took public transport to Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
In what local reporter Kyla Russell playfully notes to be a purposeful lack of "Midwestern nice," one lot close to Lucas Oil Stadium (about a 15-minute walk to Gainbridge) is purporting to charge Knicks fans five times what they were charging Pacers fans, according to a photo Russell posted on X (formerly Twitter).
Take a look at that below:
Talk about cutthroat. It's most likely a joke, but can't say we're surprised to hear the revived New York-Indiana rivalry may or may not extend to parking lots.
We'll see if the sign is still up come Game 4 on Tuesday ... but perhaps Knicks fans should bring a bit of extra cash _just_ in case.
