Why the Pacers Moved and Rebranded Their G League Team | Todd Taylor, Pacers Sports & Entertainment

On today's show I hit the hardwood with Todd Taylor, President and Chief Commercial Officer of Pacers Sports & Entertainment, to discuss the journey of moving the Pacers' G League team from Fort Wayne to Noblesville and the rebranding process that led to the name 'Noblesville Boom.' Todd also shares insights on the economic impacts of the Pacers' recent playoff run and the community's reaction to the team's new developments. Our conversation gets into the meticulous steps involved in naming the G League team, the thought process behind the Noblesville Boom's branding, and the efforts to integrate team culture with the local community.
