4. Fort Wayne Komets
Depending on the season, sports events are always a good venue for teens. With fall approaching, Komet games at the Memorial Coliseum will be held nearly every weekend. The first games are in early October so it’s not too early to purchase tickets for what is sure to be a hot season. While lower arena adult prices are $25.00, teens between ages of 12-18 only pay $20.00.
