Hey guys, my 2 boys and dad are making the trip with me for our first camp! We are from NC and the weather keeps changing on the forecast there. My question, if it rains or storms, do they usually cancel or move indoors? Any input that can help our 9 hour trip be as smooth as possible would be appreciated. Thanks guys and ladies, Go Colts!!!

I've never been there myself personally.

 

I would doubt that they cancel for raining, you have to play in the rain if it rains.  Some coaches might view it as a good thing to have practice in the rain.

 

Storming I think if the winds are high enough and there is lightning then they would probably either cancel, postpone or move indoors.  The practice field looks like it's a pretty open field so I wouldn't want to be out there with lightning and I would assume super high wind gusts would make practice pointless.

 

Good luck and have fun.  I doubt I will make it down there this year.  We had thought about going this weekend but someone at my wife's work quit suddenly and they had to rotate the on-call schedule and so she's now on call this weekend and couldn't travel.  

 

Also our kid has been having problems being in the car seat for more then 20 minutes without having a melt-down.  (He's 1 today)

Wishing him a happy birthday! Traveling with small ones does make it a little tough, I know, lol! Hoping to have a good experience, my boys really want to meet the players, just hoping the weather co operates.

I went a couple times last year. It poured one of their practices. It is a great time no matter what but when you get their there is a practice field and a college game field. If it rains that will stop the practice and move over on to the college game field where you can sit in large bleachers.. I don't think they will cancel a practice unless there are severe storms all day!

Hopefully it will be a good day, Just bring your rain gear just in case, I'm sure it will be fun no matter what!

Thanks guys!! Looking forward to this, always have wanted to come there. I have seen the colts play in Cincinnati, panthers, browns in Baltimore, and Peytons rookie year in Atlanta.

First practice I attended in 2012 got cancelled.  As soon as thunder rumbled they collected everything and ran inside.  No rain just rumbling and looked like it would rain.

DVD player and headphones are your friend, or iPad. Made road trips so much nicer for us, and yeah I know, turns them into zombies blah blah at least they're quiet zombies!!!!

Also if for some reason it gets cancelled one day there are tons of places you could go in the Indy area to entertain the kids....indoor water parks/zoo/children's and regular museums, and of course you have to check out Lucas Oil Stadium!!!

I am heading to Anderson for the first time also with my two kids.  I am looking to get some signatures, hopefully from Andrew Luck or Reggie Wayne.  Robert Mathis is on that list but I believe he won't be able to be there due to the suspension.  I was wondering from those that have gone to training camp before.  What is the best day to acquire signatures?  I had heard to go the first day of practice and I have heard to go to the first night practice with takes place on the 31st.  I also heard to go the last day of training camp.  I was just wondering because we are coming from Fort Wayne and it is a pretty good drive to get there.  I know my children and myself will enjoy it anyways but if we could get signatures also, it will be a memory that will forever last with my kiddos.  Thanks for reading everyone.

If I'm not mistaken Mathis can still practice and play preseason just not first 4 games reg season?
