Well when the game starts it will be in the low 50's and when it's over in the 40's so it will get quite cool in there. If it was an afternoon game I could see it being sunny and all but not as cool as it has been getting in Indiana at night. JMO :)

Colts' Facebook says it's open for the game. Roof and window. That's dumb. You lose so much noise that way.

IDK who ultimately makes that decision, but that's terrible.

Like I said in another thread;

 

It will still be loud enough to disrupt Manning, very much so.

 

Manning ALWAYS lobbied to have the roof closed. It will be windy tonight, 15-25 MPH winds .

Was thinking the same thing. Make him fight the wind. While the wind won't effect us pounding them with the run game. My guess at least.

you really think Jim just made a random tweet saying the roof will be open today? :thmsup:  O.o

they will not have it open for the game, just for the events leading up to it.  The parade, the ceremonial first pitch, the parachutist fly-in, the fireworks from the Bank One tower just before kickoff, the tribute, and Jim Neighbors and Florence Henderson doing a duet of Rocky-Top.  Then they will close the roof and window.

That's against the rules. Has to be either closed or open 90 minutes before kick and stay that way. 

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucas_Oil_Stadium#Mechanized_retractable_roof

 

 

"The home team determines if roof is to be opened or closed 90 minutes before kickoff. The roof remains open unless precipitation or lightning is within the vicinity of the stadium, the temperature drops below 40 °F (4 °C), or wind gusts are greater than 40 miles per hour (64 km/h), in which case the roof operators will close the roof. Once the roof is closed, it may not be reopened.[3]"

Isn't there a waiver that says if the greatest player to ever play in the stadium comes in to play for another team that the above is null and void?

Hey if it's open it will be cold maybe Peyton will have a little trouble lol

im sure it gets much colder in denver where he plays out doors then it does in indy. and he didn't do to bad in the cold weather last year. roof being closed helps with the noise which would have been far much better considering Manning hates noise when he is on the field as he was spoiled by us in keeping quiet.

Peyton will be descending from the roof on a platform with backup dancers.  He will be dressed in red, white, and blue with a top hat of the same colors. 

 

James Brown (actually, an impersonator) will be singing "Living in America" while Peyton dances and points at all the Colts and shouts "I want you!"

ummm no one has " pounded " them with the run game at all this year. they rank 1st in rush defense granted they go a way with it when they get down by 2 or 3 TD's but still. only McCoy and MJD have rushed for more then 50 yards on the bronco defense. now all those teams have thrown for 300+ yards. I say Luck has a 400 yard performance tonight. Richardson will get about 75 yards. colts win 37-34 with a AL 2 minute drive to set AV up for a game winning FG.

The roof needs to be closed

..why build a football stadium with a retractable roof and then leave it open when its 50 degrees??

Those who think football should played and watched in the cold still listen to 8-track tapes...

The counter to this is why build a stadium with a retractable roof if you never open it.

That crap don't matter. Remember how our run defense was good because teams always passed on us? Or other way around!

      Does a reporter bear any responsibility about what he includes in his pieces? Sourced or not? Is everything a source tell you printable? Is everything worth printing? BTW I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you, I just wonder if there are any ethical considerations a reporter might have when reporting on this type of touchy subject, especially when some of those anonymous scouts might have vested interest in a player getting drafted higher or lower than currently projected?

      Again….   McGinn didn’t do the damage to Mitchell.  The scouts did.     And there are columnists like McGinn at every major paper.  Their job is to gather info and report it, whether it’s popular or not.    Let me turn this around.  Hypothetically, a few years from now if Mitchell doesn’t pan out and he’s moody and difficult to deal with and he’s a bust, then the scouts will have been proven correct.  And people here will say McGinn’s column was spot on.   Another person who should’ve handled his business better is Mitchell himself.  He’s been living with this since he was roughly 16.   And scouts said he interviewed badly with them.   Even Mitchell admits it.     I don’t think this is as black and white as it seems to you.      To be clear…. I love Mitchell.  Glad we drafted him.  I’ve said several times that Ballard defending him draft night was smart and scored points with the kid.  Now he comes out and says that exact thing.  He appreciates that Ballard defended him so hard and he wants to pay the Colts and Ballard back by being the best player he can be.

      I’d say those teams that lost had worse defenses compared to the winners. That’s not to say that their defenses were bad, they just weren’t as clutch in the big moment.    To me, defense matters a whole lot when you need a stop or a momentum change.    Look at all of the star studded power offense teams of the last decade who were incapable of winning it all.

      Oops that’s my mistake. Yeah I completely missed that. My apologies.   But yeah he’s one I would keep an eye on for us next year. Him and Will Johnson. It’s a little early to be talking about what the Colts would do in the draft, but I would put money on this being the year Ballard takes a DB high. I could also see him go D-Line again. I love college football and watch as much of it as I can, but I’ll be paying attention to a lot of the guys you listed at those positions. Last season I watched a lot of the teams that had the elite receivers (Washington, Texas, LSU, FSU, etc…).   I’m also getting ready to fire my draft podcasts I listen to back up and look at summer scouting. I’ll come back for some discussions as I get info as I always enjoy talking prospects with you.

      The issue some may have is the kind of journalism where Bob McGinn created an article that affected a young man's career based solely upon anonymous sources.   I'm confident you will reply back referring to your experience as a journalist with some version of 'without anonymous sources, there would be no journalism'. I value reading your insight about how sports are covered and I don't disagree that anonymous sources can be important. Its fair for anonymous sources to give background about things they are not comfortable saying out loud.   However, I'll add that perhaps its also fair for Bob McGinn to use his anonymous sources to help him find the story and craft the story, but if nobody will put their name on it then Bob McGinn needs to dig deeper before he launches infotainment into the world. He can't take back the damage he did to AD Mitchell.
