1st NFL Colt Game at Indy!

[JColts72]

What an Experience! Drove from NY (12 Hours) as attended 1st NFL game ever as Colt fan since the early 70's. Nice to see the Colts crush Titans on 9/28.The fans were GREAT! and welcoming as mentioned from NY and 1st game. Touchdown Town was cool as meet Jeff Herrod/Cheerleaders. Lucas Oil Stadium is AWESOME as was in Sec 117 Row 11. Nice talking to Colt fans and spend, spend, spend at Colts Pro Shop. Now to plan another game.

[JColts72]

From New York (Queens)-Route NYC, NJ, PA (thought that state would never end), West VA, Ohio, overnight at Richmond. Of course with stops and split the drive with a Titan fan.

Funny, long time rivalry among us since Baltimore/Oiler days. Have to find more Colts fan in NY to split the driving next time.  Eli face looks better lately since he's winning.

Glad to hear you had a great experience there! Lucas Oil is a beautiful stadium and colts fans are the best.

[JColts72]

I was talking away with a fan (season ticket holder) the whole game. A lot of McAfee  jerseys; popular in Indy I was told. I got a photo with Super Fan who carries (We Believe) in the lower level as always see him on TV. He has Colts Andrew Luck 12 on shoulders looks like pucks. I joined Colts fan club.

You lucky SOB! Im a Seattle Colts fan and have been craving to see a game in Indy....great to see you liked it though

I showed some fans photo of me and Mathis when he was in NY during Super Bowl week events. What a nice guy as he signed a mini-helmet, football and 07 Super Bowl cover yearbook. They asked if I was from NY, as must have been that accent.

The game live is so FAST, as TV does not do it justice even with HD. Eye sight was split with watching the field and other times the Jumbo screens. Nice to get Programs free. I can't get those Arby Colt glasses in NY. I proudly wore 1st game pin. Pep does love to run that 1st down run 99.9%

Glad you enjoyed you visit to Indy. Your welcome to come again that's for sure. Lucas Stadium is an awesome place with so much to do before and after the games. Downtown Indy is pretty visitor friendly too.

Glad to hear you had a good time here in Indy. You couldn't have picked a better day weatherwise for it & to top it all off we got a big win. As others have said come back to take in the city along with the surrounding areas which are pretty awesome during the fall. The leaves will be changing soon.

[JColts72]

Should try a day before/after game day to take it all in.

[NewEra]

Awesome! That's some serious dedication to drive 12 hours for a game. I'm two hours away and always ho hum, lol. I try to make a few games a year at least.

Well, I've attended many Colt home games, but never in Indy. I'm about to enter the Twilight Zone !

If you are flying in avoid the window seat or what happened to Shatner could happen to you.

[Manning->Luck]

That's awesome to read. I've been a fan since '84 when they came to town, saw many a game at the Hoosier Dome, but still haven't seen a game at Lucas since I moved away... Can't wait 'till I do!

I live not far from LOS & have yet to go because some of those games in the early 90's were rough. The best seat is still the one in my house.

That is funny and a great Twilight Zone episode. I think that little Gremlin may be Itzy. Actually I will be driving in as I have business in Carmel, and hopefully I won't be diverted to the highway up ahead, The Twilight Zone.

[JColts72]

Old Crow u must have seen the Colts at Memeorial Stadium? Unitas, Jones?? That Willam Shatner expression was when I returned to NY from the niceness of Indy.

Yes, I saw all those guys at Memorial Stadium . The Shatner look will also be my expression when I see the Unitas jersey in the Indy Colts gift shop ! Lol. Anyway I'm looking forward to it, it should be a surreal experience.

[JColts72]

I saw a few Unitas t-shirts, jeresys at the game, not the original retro though- I have a Reebok Unitas.The one you have name made to Colts Jersey. What blew me away was an Art Schlichter #10 jersey sighting.

The guy with the Art Schlchter jersey must have been a gambler !

If the guy was begging for quarters, it might actually have been Art Schlichter. 

 

He used to hang out down at the zoo gambling with the animals. I heard he stopped because there were too many cheetahs. 

[JColts72]

Good one cheetahs...the one I saw was hanging out with tailgaters.
