Here you'll find everything about Indios de Mayagüez: their championship history, the best places to eat and enjoy yourself near the arena, and information on their 2025 season performance.
Throughout its history, the Sultana del Oeste has been a sports town. The Indios de Mayagüez of the Baloncesto Superior Nacional (BSN) took their name in 1956 from the original Indios de Mayagüez baseball team, which was named after the well-known Cervecería India (now Cervecera de Puerto Rico).
The Indios had a solid 2024 BSN season. They finished with a record of 17 wins and 18 losses, placing eighth in the league.
This page will soon have information on the Indios' 2025 season performance, along with things to do before or after their games in Mayagüez.
How many championships have they won?
The Indios de Mayagüez's one championship came in 2012, when a roster that included players such as Andrés "Corky" Ortiz, Donta Smith and Patrick O'Bryant closed out the finals series against the Capitanes de Arecibo in five games.
That title, which had seemed unlikely after a slow start to the season and forgettable performances over the previous two seasons, was also made possible by the coaching of Eddie Casiano, a former national team player and current head coach of the Atléticos de San Germán.
Aside from 2012, the Indios have reached the postseason on a handful of occasions but have historically stayed out of the finals.
Where do they play, and how can you get to Mayagüez?
The Indios de Mayagüez, then known as the Taínos, first took the court at the Palacio de Recreación y Deportes in 1981. The distinctive octagonal arena sits at the corner of Avenida Pedro Albizu Campos (PR-65) and Calle Martínez Nadal (PR-108), across from the Parque de los Próceres, and can hold an audience of 5,500.
Parking on the Palacio grounds is limited and regularly backs up during well-attended games, making it hard to leave. We recommend carpooling or using alternate transportation if you can.
Bars and restaurants near the arena after the game
Mayagüez's lively historic downtown includes a wide variety of restaurants and bars for fans who enjoy good food and drink.
Among them, we recommend options such as the sandwiches at Panadería Ricomini, the sliders and wings at Off The Wall, and the margaritas at Cinco de Maya, not to mention coastal food staples like Gonzalez Seafood.
Who is on the team?
The Indios' new head coach is Iván "Pipo" Vélez, who led the team in the 2021 season. Under Christian Dalmau's coaching for a third consecutive season through 2024, standout players included American Nick Perkins, averaging 18.5 points per game, Jorge "Georgie" Pacheco (16.1) and Milton Doyle (13.5).
How did the Indios de Mayagüez do in the 2024 season?
