New name coming for Bankers Life Fieldhouse in 2019

The Bankers Life name will be coming off the Indiana Pacers' arena after next season.

The Pacers and CNO Financial Group announced Tuesday that the company wouldn't renew its naming-rights contract for the downtown Indianapolis arena after it expires June 30, 2019.

The Carmel-based company formerly known as Conseco Inc. has held the arena's naming rights since it opened as Conseco Fieldhouse in 1999 under a $40 million, 20-year contract.

Bankers Life is among CNO Financial's business units. Its name has been on the arena since late 2011.

The Pacers say they will work to line up a new naming rights contract.
