  1. With the roof being closed you can expect the temperature in the stadium to be in the 60s.  The walk to the stadium will probably be in the 20s, so dress for that.  I usually wear a sweatshirt or some sort of base layer under my jersey in the stadium and am always comfortable.

     

    Parking depends on how much you're willing to pay and how far you're willing to walk.  If you're willing to pay $20 or more you can park pretty close to the stadium.  If you don't mind walking a bit it is cheaper, or even free if you can find some on street spaces in downtown.  There is no charge at the meters on Sunday,

  2. Let's say you make $75,000/yr., now take Cutler's 100 million contract and doing the division it would take you 133 years to equal his pay and  720 years to make his 54 million guarantee. How does that make you feel as you strive to be good at what you do? Yeah, I know.

     

    If you're trying to get to the full $100 million, then you're number of years is off by a factor of 10.  It would actually take 1,333.33 years at $75k per year.

     

     

    If they spend too much on high priced beer then yes. I go to sports arenas and I wont buy any high priced beer. I have the ability to wait till I get home or after the game or somewhere else. All it takes is self control. If you need a beer bad enough to spend $9 bucks for it maybe you have a problem?

     

    Or maybe you just enjoy having a beer at the game and are willing to pay the $9.

  3. Speaking of old Colts memorabilia, check this out.  I'm moving to a new office at work so I'm going through all my stuff and getting rid of stuff that I don't need.  At the back of a drawer that I don't go into very often was this:

    The full Indianapolis Star from the morning after the Super Bowl win.  I had to go to Chicago that morning for work and I bought this on the way there.  Needless to say, the people in my company's Chicago office were not happy to see me that morning!

     

    Well, back it goes into a drawer in the new office.  I can rediscover it in a few more years!

     

  4. Any Colts fan from Chicago wanna go watch the game at Mullens on Clark? All my friends are Bears fans (I know.I feel bad for them too) so I got noone to watch ut with. If ur down call or text me at 773 396 9298. Eddie

     

     

    A few years ago I was spending a ton of time in Chicago for work.  If I was there on a Colts game day I always headed to Mullens.  It's just like being in Indy there are so many Colts fans there in their blue and white.

  5. I got to the stadium a little over an hour before the start of the game.  Pat was over near  the sidelines practicing that exact onside kick play.  I think they had intended to use that if they got an early score.  It was executed perfectly.

  6. Because I tried

    Antenna could see cbs but it seemed the signal was not strong enough for a picture

    I just tried indoor antennas

     

     

    I understand now.  I guess I'm pretty spoiled being close to downtown.  I'm not really familiar with how far the signals travel.  Sorry for the misunderstanding.

  7. You can pick NBC up with an antenna

     

    CBS you cannot pick up with an antenna but once they move to WISH TV in 2015 I think you'll be able to get them with an antenna

    Not sure why you think that you cannot get channel 8 (WISH-TV, current Indy CBS affiliate) with an antenna?  I only have over the air television and get all of the digital versions channel 8 just fine.  I also get the channel 23 stations which are also part of WISH.

  8. I didn't have time to read the whole thread, so apologies if this has already been posted.

     

    I'll withhold judgement until we see how he plays when he gets back off his suspension.  Presumably he'll be monitored pretty closely after this, so if we see a big drop off in his play that would point towards more than just using the drug for a short time to help in fertility,  If, however, he's still the beast that he was last season, it would indicate that he wasn't using it as a PED.

  9. Reading these posts in response to a story about a man with an addiction tells me most of you Colts fans were born with a brain more suited for an athletic supporter. Apparently few of you even bothered to read about his life before you posted smart aleck wise cracks. Addiction kills. We witness it every day in this drug saturated society. This man needs help and good people give help while punks ridicule. Mr. Irsay, if you are reading these please accept this apology on behalf of the people and Colts fans that give a damn about you and all others that are victims of addictions. Perfection has never been a part of the human make up so we struggle throughout life at different stages and to different degrees. We are pulling hard for you in every way. Get well and we will hold up that trophy together.

     

     

    Great post.

     

    If anyone has a few minutes to spare, this is well worth watching:
