Who is going? There is 8 of us leaving Friday night. Not sure what bar to hit before the game. Maybe Jillian's? Anyone going that went to the AFC championship and knows the layout?

Jillians????? You can do much better then that!!! What are you looking for? Mellencamp the night before @ Conseco so you get the full on Hoosier treatment and don't forget the time changes that Saturday night too.

There's 6 of us going down on Saturday. I've tried to find some places to go that night but I get the feeling that the pickings are slim if you're not a Colts fan. We've also been trying to find a location to tailgate on Sunday but with the stadium under construction the parking situation is also a bust.

Yes, theres lots of places downtown near the stadium. We went to an Irish Pub that was good.

I'll be there Saturday was well. PM me and I'll give you my cell.

I have a tailgate spot.

I went last year for the AFCC and fed all the Colts fan around me. A bunch of NE fans didnt show up so I had tons of food to give away. They should remember me there. The lot is just across from the new stadium.

PM or Email for my cell.

Well give me a suggestion

cringelyindy

Well,, I assume you are staying downtown. let me say yet again for the AFCCG the Pats fans took over the Hard Rock. I am not suggesting it in as much as that's what you are going to have to do. Pick a place and broadcast it. The Hard Rock was an organic thing that bloomed the night before from what I understand. In otherwords somebody at some hotel made a decision and begin to tell the grapevine that the Hard Rock was the place. They staked it out early. Let me say this, downtown bars and restaurants are going to be packed. No place will take reservations so you have to get your troops out early. There are plenty of places it just might not be feasible to setup shop in a big group. My pick would be Claddagh's Irish Pub .... Rock Bottom Brewery maybe Alcatraz. Places like The Ram, Chammps, Slippery Noodle, Hooters and Whistle Stop will be ultra Colts-centric..... Places I personally despise are Ike& Jonesey's, Jillians., Have A Nice Day Cafe. As for car tailgating good luck and forget about it. Most people have their usual spots and are there 6 hours before gametime. This might mean you are relugated to a spot near IUPUI 8 blocks away. If your in a small group you can just be nomads. My guess is you end up at the Hard Rock... only saying that because it seemed to be well organized and I assume some of the same people will be back. So basically I gave you a non answer!!!!
