I won't be going at all this year.

 

I would have to leave home too early for the trip - and - potentially being 3/4 of the way there and have them cancel practice due to weather and/or some other issue.

 

I'd rather spend my "Colts money" on games and memorabilia.

 

HAVE A GREAT TIME EVERYONE!!

Going the 31st. Very inexpensive way to see the players. The location/facilities are ideal. I really enjoy watching the various parts of the actual practice. As a former coach I have always been interested in the process other teams use. Cool to see some of the same drills being used.

Have not been since it was held at Rose in Terre Haute.

Lot of fun. As others said you can get close enough to realize how massive the O and D linemen are. 

Also, always had good conversations with other fans, tailgated at games for years with some I met there.

If you haven’t been:

 

1.) Get there early, they really pack the bleachers full.

 

2.) Sit higher in the bleachers for 2 reasons. People will walk across and stand in front which will block your view. Also there are 2 separate fields where they practice so you can see more of both from a little higher in the bleachers.

 

3.) Bring sunscreen. Lol

 

4.) People get really aggressive when it comes to autograph time so watch your kids and family members. Bring your own Sharpie as they charge a ton of money for 1.


I honestly have began only going to 1 practice now because of the crowds.

 

 

Parking, Food, beverages, and merch all cost money.

I am going on Aug. 17th....haven't been for a long time.  Do they open the "gates" to the grandstands at a certain time?    Do I need to get there early to get in LINE so I can get a "better" seat in the stands?  Can you take a seat cushion in with you?  I think I know all the other guidelines...if you have any other suggestions, please post them!  Thank you very much!

Hello.  Is anyone able to give any tips for camp days?  I am going for the very first time.  Should we bring our own chairs?  are we allowed to bring our own water and snacks?  Also, is there a chance to meet the players and get autographs and pictures or do we just wait until they are done with practice and hope for the best?  We are planning to go to Youth Day as well as Saturday . Thanks for any input!

    • I use Pro-Football Reference as my primary source of stats.    Alec Pierce  2022 78 targets  3 drops  3.8% drop rate  2023 65 targets  3 drops  4.6%     Believe who you want!  For those who actually focus on the game while their TV is on during the game, you should remember how terrible Ryan and Minshew were at throwing Pierce a catchable ball. They regularly missed him by a mile.  Blame it on Reggies coaching, maybe Pierce is a very slow learner?  I'm looking forward to learning more on the subject with AR.   Mike Evans 2023  5.1%  drop rate   Jamar Chase  2021 11 drops  8.6% drop rate  2022 11 drops  8.2% 2023  5 drops   3.4%    Tyreke Hill 2021 7 drops   4.4% 2022  8 drops  4.7% 2023 12 drops 7.0%    Travis Kelce  2021 10 drops  7.5% 2022  8 drops   5.3% 2023  7 drops   5.8%    Clown school is now open.    
    • I just made the point to illustrate he is definitely not primarily a slot guy. He pretty much does it all. I think Reggie saw a bit of TY Hilton in him. And if we get any of that then Pierce has a problem down the line this year.
    • Yeah, baseball is big when it comes to players that played even 100 years ago. Babe Ruth of course. There is only one Babe. Guy could party all night, drink, be with women, and wake up on 2 hours of sleep and then hit 3 HR's in a game . To me Willie Mays is probably the greatest there ever was and he played in the 50's, 60's, and up through 70's. Pitchers in the 70's were throwing 90 MPH by then. Mays won a World Series, so he was a champion, batted .302 for his career, and hit 660 HR's. I just know those stats off the top of my head without looking them up lol. 
    • I do respect those that study the older generations and accomplishments. Slingin Sammy too was a great one. IMO the sport that most fans study the past greats is Baseball and by a wide margin. Everyone knows Babe Ruth the greatest power hitter of all time and Cy Young and Ty Cobb.........could go on and on but in Baseball those legends never die like in other sports.
    • Shaq is the closest thing to Wilt we will ever see. Today's centers are more finesse. Joker plays like a PG and likes to shoot 3's even. He is a great player but doesn't overpower you down low.
