1-4% slower indoors... not much but you do have more turns of course.

The Fieldhouse is longer then some indoor tracks so probably closer to 1-2% slower I would guess perhaps?

The elevation conversion I use has a Provo mile at 5.7s slower than sea level.

Yeah thats what the numbers say - I would suggest reality is less than that

Thinking about it, collegiate results would also suggest the conversion isn’t that big,

I think it makes a bigger difference in sprints

Milesplit also has a tool for banked vs unbanked track calculation

Looks like for two miles a 9:07 outdoor converts to a 9:13.7 indoor.
