What Is There To Do Pre Game?

[dn4192]

I will be going to my first game at Lucas in the coming weeks. What activities usually occur pre game outside of the stadium and what is there to see and do once inside? Also what kind of prices are there at the concession stands and are there any stands that offer great choices food wise?

[GoDeep]

Drinking.

Nothing.

Expensive

No.

[dn4192]

Don't drink

what do you consider expensive? I pay like $5.50 for a coke at the Reds games in Cincy and like $4-6 dollars for a hot dog...

[IndyD4U]

Grab some beers and head to the Blue Crew lot. It's always a blast. If you don't go there any lot will do, actually. You'll always find a good group that will take you in as their own and they'll even let you play cornhole.

As far as at LOS, you'll pay dearly for anything you want.

I am usually the same, but when you can get tix for as low as $20 per seat I am willing to go for it this year...

Hey fans have every right to boo if they chose, I never really understood the reason "why" but as long as you act appropriatly it's your right as a fan.

Also if Joe Colt fan can't grasp that the Peyton era is over, then that is there loss.

Well I have heard beer in the Luc ain't cheap. I know in Cincy a beer is like 7-8 dollars a cup.

I don't drink either, so I don't do much before games.

$ sounds about right.

[kayakaster]

[deedub75]

Go get as drunk as you can even if you don't drink because the game is gonna be brutal.

[JoKeR]

Blue Crew has cheap beer...gonna need it.

I have sat through numerous losing seasons watching my Reds and Pacers so this season with the Colts is no big deal.

Fans have the right to express their frustration,just because your okay with it doesn't mean others have to be.

[Andy]

enjoy yourself, have whatever you want. Never been to a Colts game, but the Colts fans are generally great ones, so you can chill with them pre-game.

[dn4192]

yes they do as long as they do it in a respectful manner I am okay with it, act like a fool and well I hope your are okay with being removed by security in cuffs.

i did not imply at the game,just that your okay with losing.I have always felt the fan's have the right to boo if the team is not playing hard.But then again i am from new york,they booed my idol Don Mattingly{ironically a indiana boy}.

[Coltssouth]

I think what we always enjoy the most is walking around the stadium, chatting with other fans, and watching the players practice. I'm sure whatever you decide on (and of course the Pro-shop is a must visit) you will have a great time.

The atmosphere is well worth the visit!

It's not that I am okay with losing, but I understand that teams are not always going to win. As for NY fans' booing, OMG I went to a Met game this summer and they booed the ceremonial first pitch...;-)

Are there any unique or good places to get a bite in the stadium that isn't normal stadium fair?

It can be crazy,they booed some immortals micky mantle,reggie.I guess the day will come when jeter get's booed.

[Coltssouth]

Not that I know of. I recommend eating outside of the stadium.

Indy has some outstanding restaurants. Many are mentioned in the Misc. section of the forum.

Perhaps someone else can recommend a place they like to eat in LOS but I have not had much luck there.

Edit:

Of course I should add that I am a picky eater.

Tailgating with the Blue Crew is always your best option for food, fun and drinks.. This week features a Cornhole tournament and silent auction. Proceeds to benefit troops in Afghanistan. I have a few pictures of past tailgates on Colts Direct.

What is a cornhole tournament?sorry if that is a stupid question.

[wercolts]

a game where you throw bean bags through a hole on a board.

[doogansquest]

Also if Joe Colt fan can't grasp that the Peyton era is over, then that is there loss.

Really? No one bit on this gem? All right, I'll play.

The Peyton era isn't over. He's missed a season. It wasn't even due to a sudden, gruesome injury; it was a nagging one that many have claimed has been repaired by a "career-saving" procedure. He's already been working out on an elliptical, 3 weeks ahead of schedule.

Why is it their "loss" anyway? Wouldn't it be your loss to get excited for an unproven player who, not only won't be taking any snaps for the Colts next year, but may not end up on the Colts at all?

I'd say if you can't grasp that that is the most likely scenario...

I loved that video! Is that you with the mic?

I really like watching warmups too. Especially when they run O vs. D.

[farmer2]

What time do they start letting people into LOS? I'll be making my first trip this week to LOS and would like to check out the stadium b/4 watching warm-ups.

[wercolts]

2 hrs prior to kickoff I believe
