Free tickets to a Colts game, which do I go with?

[Myles]

10/18 vs. New England @ 8:30 pm

11/8 vs. Denver @ 4:25 pm

I'm about 2 hours north of Indy. So the New England game would make for one hellava late Sunday evening.

Denver, We probably play Denver in 2016 however(Its all but a guarantee.....the NFL wont pass up the ratings the game will get and the storyline) as well given how schedules are created......The last year of Mannings deal is NEXT year

[SilentHill]

I'd say 10/18 vs New England. That is the game I wanted to go to, but it looks like ticket prices are SKY high.

[BPindy]

Manning is probably done after this year, go see him play one more time!

[pgt_rob]

Denver. But that's just me.

The way the schedules are done leaves it up to how the Colts and Denver finish the season.

[Gramz]

Wow. Can't go wrong with either, but it would be a No brainer for me. I'd go see Peyton, but that's me.

Both games ticket prices will be at a premium, and your title here says free... how did you manage that?

Are you from Ft. Wayne area?  That's where I'm from, and it's about 2 hrs North... I'm getting tix next week for the NE game!!

Right, Basically means we play the winner of that division.....Unless we somehow find a way to lose our division which barring an injury to Luck I don't see happening(our division foes just have not shown to have enough fire power)....I also don't see Denver losing that division

[Grigs build the lines plz.]

If you want to see a victory then go see the Denver game, but if you want to see a stressful

nail biter then it's NE for you.

[IndyD4U]

I was torn between these two as well, but ultimately decided to go with the Denver game. Just something about seeing Manning in the house that he built.

Just south of Fort Wayne. In Decatur.

I'm a purchasing guy and one of my suppliers asked me which game I want tickets for. Both didn't work.

[Gramz]

I'd love for someone to give me free tickets.

10/18....LOS is going to be ROCKIN!

I'm in Fort Wayne too! 

 

I'm trying to figure out which kidney to sell in order to acquire tix to that game.

I'd personally do New England because I've never been to a night game at LOS.  All though I am hitting the Jets/Colts game this year!  Thats awesome you got free tickets.  Either game will be fun, you can't go wrong either way!

Breaking News:  Geno Smith is out 6-10 Weeks (which will take us up to the Jets game), due to a brawl and getting sucker punched by a teammate!!

 

As crazy as it sounds, it is true.  As if the Jets weren't good before, they will have an even worse starting QB.  Reminds me of the Texans last year.

We play in Denver next season.

Is Ryan Fitzpatrick really worse than Geno Smith, though?

As for the OP, it's tough, seeing a victory vs NE in person would be so much sweeter than a victory vs DEN. On the other hand, seeing my two favorite players ever face off (and likely Manning's last season and game at LOS) would be unforgettable. Now that I've typed it out, definitely Denver.

Actually Fitz is probably an upgrade over Geno at this point in their careers.

I went with the Denver game.

[Steamboat_Shaun]

Free tickets? New England, no-brainer. It's primetime, and LOS will be electric for that game. I know there's a lot of people who are still sentimental about Peyton, and understandably so, but there's no way I'd pass up going to that New England game. The opportunity to see Luck get over the hump and get a victory against the Pats would outweigh seeing Manning again, for me anyways.

 

Then again, I live in Colorado and the Broncos are on TV here every Sunday, so I might have a skewed perspective.

I saw that!  I strongly believe Fitzpatrick or even Bryce Petty(could be better even) can't possibly be any worse than Geno Smith.  Just my opinion!

I vote NE. I would give my left you know what to be there. I wanna see a NE beatdown of epic proportions. I wanna see Brady cry for mercy.

We play Denver in 2016 no matter who finishes where. We play the entire AFC West. And I believe that game will be in Denver.

 

The only thing the schedule makers decide is what day and time. Everything else is based on the scheduling formula.

Most people don't know this. When I explain to people the "formula", they're like, hmmmmm didn't know. Probably didn't care either.

[RealityIsLuck]

How could you not choose New England? That is going to be a full out brawl. 

 

If you're worried about getting back/highway driving late at night though there's nothing wrong about that Denver game it would still be a heckuva game, especially seeing Peyton back in the stadium he built.
