Wow, how cool is that . . . winning tickets? Congrats!!!

I also hope you have a great time and that you and your son are able to cheer the Colts to a W.

I have been to LOS twice, but I can't answer many of your questions. The first time I rode a shuttle that dropped us off and picked us up at LOS. The second time, we parked at Circle Center Mall which wasn't a bad walk; however, the weather was great.

In both cases, we didn't have the time to participate in any pre-game activities; but I sure wish we could have.

Taking a camera was one of my questions the first time I went. I had read that no video cameras were allowed and was worried that my digital camera may be confiscated because it was capable of taking short videos. But, I didn't have any problems. So, take that camera and click away. You will want to preserve the memories of you and your son's first game at LOS.

I sat in the section above the Toyota zone last year, and I can tell you, that while you will be fairly high up you should have a great vantage point and you will be able to see everything. Enjoy the game!

When you have a second take your son along the path just above the 100 level seats, from above you will see a path from about the 30 to the 30, do it while play is going on, I bet he will enjoy it.

For me its worth paying the $20 and just park in one of the lots/buildings to the west side of the stadium and south of the tracks.

Question I've been meaning to ask for a while (this seems fair) - how easy is it to get tickets? Can you just buy them online and walk in on the day?

I've never been - I'm in the UK so it's very impractical, but hopefully I'll be going to America in a few years and would need to go to a game at the Luke if and when I do.

I think you can always get tickets on-line. It just depends on whether you are willing to pay the price or not. Depending on how the season is going they can be pretty steep.

Of course this year that is not a problem, although I did notice that seats that cost $17.00 3 weeks ago are $20.00 this week. Maybe something to do with the popularity of the team we are playing against. :dunno:

While wishing the best experience to you and your boy, as a vet of the old RCA Dome, I almost despise going to games at LOS. It's just lame. As a fanbase we totally sold out. The RCA Dome was in fact the "Terror Dome". So loud, even as a fan you walked out not hearing straight.

Ha... I'm a huge football (soccer) fan and I see my team play most home games (23 in a season) for about £20 a pop... $20 for a one off is basically nothing compared to that. What are they like when things are going well?

Yea,Iiked the 2 games I was fortunate enough to attend in the Dome.Never recognized it as anything but the Hoosier Dome,lol.Great place,loud as heck,intimate,great environment.Oh well,lol.MSA was a waste too,heard Conseco acoustics stink.Best memories of MSA were seeing some great bands/shows,camping out overnight,and the general stampede, haha

It's not that bad getting from airport to downtown via car on the interstate,Indy's not that big,lol.Basically jump on 465 and everything comes off there.Taxi might be big $$,rental car and GPS maybe?

That may be cheaper.. i'll have to re learn how to drive a car.. lol.. all i drive are trucks. We would never make it home in a car ;)

got a gps on my phone. Thanks for the info!

If you do the taxi,they can take you straight through town to the hotel.It would be faster and you wouldn't have to worry about parking.I'm not in Indy,about 40 mins out so I'm not sure what the rentals and taxis run.But getting around Indy isn't bad,they have done a good job as far as signage goes.A lot of one way streets,but not bad.

WOW,what a game for my first at Lucas and my sons first Colts game.I have to admit I had some doubts after that ridiculous penalty and fumble recovery on Houstons last drive.I was like,well 2 mins for a drive for 7,Peyton,yes,Orlovsky..eh idk.Great job,great drive,2 in a row! :applause: .

Toyota zone is nice,just 1 row of seats.Have to try to win those again,lol.Lucas is a nice place,huge,all kinds of free stuff,love the Lucas area mostly cause I'm a gearhead/car nut anyway.But I think the Dome was louder,although only went to 2 games there,kinda miss it.

Overall,great trip,great game,great experience.Just wish I could afford to buy tix on a regular basis,lol.

I tried to get down to the lower level after the game,they sometimes come out and sign stuff,took my Colts book to have it signed but we got diverted by the yellow shirts to the exit. :sadno:

Those guys were like Nazi soldiers. Yelling at people and quiet rude. I was hoping to see Reggie at the NFL Network booth, but they yelled at everyone and literally pushed us out. I heard alot of people complaining about it. Sorry you couldnt get down there..

    • ballard made a very bad pick drafting ar, ballard is getting paid to draft talent and he has too many glaring misses, imo the only qb worth taking with a top 5 pick was stroud. the rest were projects not worthy of a top 5 pick, fire ballard he is a poor judge of talent,
    • Regardless of how good the Lions are playing it would be out of the leagues character for a team like them to make it to the Super Bowl. 
    • The same was said about Lamar Jackson.....remember polian said he should try and play another position not QB ???   Just because someone is uber athletic doesn't mean they can't play QB.  Now I'm not saying AR will be or never will be  a quality QB in this league. I don't know.   He certainly has the athletic part going for him. BUT going against him is the lack of reps and experience coming out of college, thrust into the starting role right away, missing games due to injury and last but not least the lack of QB friendly plays  and coaching from Steinchen. If he's not acting like a professional on and off the field then it's on them to teach him on how to... you'd think the #4 overall pick would get the teaching he deserves. Sounds like he's a extremely young player lacking and the colts are failing him.    On Arians, I didn't click link to read the story.  Regarding bringing him back in some capacity, I remember when he was here Colt Fans wanted him replaced because he would call long pass plays that took extra time for the OL to pass block for and it was feared Luck would get killed waiting for the plays to develop. Little did we know back then that snowboarding would also be a major factor in his health.
    • It depends on who is the current QB. If AR is the QB, probably a 3, as I know there is something to play for, and even though the FO is terrible, if AR could potentially improve, that would be the quickest way to be relevant again if we won with him. If Flacco is our QB, it's a 1. I have no interest in watching the team with Flacco as the QB and I didn't even watch the Colts on Sunday Night Football even though I could have. I have gone through the band-aid QB process since Rivers, and he was the only positive to come out of it and we didn't have a highly drafted, possible franchise QB we were trying to develop at the time. It's bad enough when AR is injured and he can't play, now he just isn't starting for a number of reasons, and it's taken any interest out of caring for this team out of me until AR starts again, or until Ballard gets fired at the end of the year.
    • Belichick without Brady? Not good at all.   Gruden? His lighting up like a X-mas tree whenever there's a camera around gets old quick.  Plus his long term record is very poor.
