The Robert Irsay Pavilion is a 6,000 square foot entertainment
facility located on the estate of Nancy Irsay. Nancy hosts over
20 charity events and civic meetings each year in the pavilion.
The Robert Irsay Pavilion was originally dubbed the "Party
Barn." The Party Barn held it’s first event in
1986 for Christamore House and the Little Sisters of the Poor,
in conjunction with Robert Irsay Charities, Inc. and the Indianapolis
Colts. The facility was dramatically expanded in 1992 with
a full stage, sound booth, floating dance floor, changing
rooms, and a capacity to seat 430 for dinner.
The inaugural event in the remodeled and re-named Robert
Irsay Pavilion was a Cole Porter performance presented by
the American Cabaret Theater.
Over the years, many celebrities have attended events held
in the Robert Irsay Pavilion including
Tony Bennett, Chuck Yeager, John Grisham, Morley Saefer, Laine
Kazan, John Mellencamp, Kelsey Grammer, Ann Quinlain, Edna
Buchanan, Kurt Vonnegut, Fabio, Payton Manning, Jeff Saturday
and many other Colts players.
