COLTS



So0o0o0oo0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o00o0o the FIRST home game in LUCAS OIL STADIUM was this Sunday evening! s0o0o0o0oo (naturally) Mark and I had to go!!! It was AMAZING to be there! The stands were packed and the stadium was freakin incredible!!! Let's start at the beginning.. We tailgated with some friends in the parking lot before the game... that was a lot of fun because the news team was right beside us. At one point, some people got interviewed, they taped some people playing cornhole, and watched all of us booze.
When we got into the stadium, it was PACKED!!!! We were handed programs and certificates that announced we were at the first game EVER at LUCAS OIL STADIUM! It just set the mood! So did the seven dollar beer! haha*
There was a place where you could act like you were in the press box after the game.. which we of course took advantage of...
Then we finally got into the action.. The roof wasn't open and that made us cranky. Then there was an announcement that they were going to open it up. We all FREAKED OUT!!! It was s0o0o0 exciting to watch it open! It only took a minute and it got us all very excited for the season to begin!
Our friends have season tickets and most of the people at the game were only at the stadium to see it.. So we sat with them, instead of our assigned seats... The game was a preseason game and there weren't too many people watching, compared ot the number of people walking around. We watched the game. The Colts essentially got stomped, but we stayed all four quarters and cheered on our team!
Overall, it was a great way to start the season! I'm sure this isn't the only game Mark and I will be attending... :)
