At least you won't have to watch your boys get beat.


Seriously though, WTF?

Thug architects? A new breed.

Re: They have saved you guys some seats...

BTW, the PR person for the stadium folks/Colts said that those seats are not for Colts games. They are seats that are options for promoters of other events in the stadium that they can use if they wish.

Well, they obviously think you guys are stupid.

Don't worry, when the Patriots are playing in the Super Bowl in that crappy stadium in 2012, those will be the seats reserved for Colts fans - Let us know what the view is like.

Yea, Ok. You buying that? When that place sells out they won't be selling those seats? Right.

Re: New Colts Stadium

You'd think they wouldn't need those columns, that all that pumped in noise would hold up the dome.

Re: New Colts Stadium

You couldn't hear anything at the old stadium. Now you won't be able to see anything, either.

Re: New Colts Stadium

Those are prime seats for Colts fans who cant bare the sight of the Pats whippin the Colts.

I especially like the middle seats that are slightly turned towards each other.

Ticket for the game...$100
Parking...$20
Food and drink...$25
Getting to see the backside of a pair of pillars and two lines of drunk people headed to the can while touching knees with your neighbor and having them in your peripheral vision for 3 hours...priceless.

Re: New Colts Stadium

“Thanks to pillars located in each of the four corners, Colts officials say there are about 200 partially-obstructed seats at the new football stadium, and even fewer seats that are totally obstructed - which the team says won’t be sold for games.”

“Larry Hall, the vice president of ticket operations for the Colts, said those totally-obstructed seats are not part of the ticket program and will never be sold for a football game.”

“The partically-obstructed seats will be sold, but not as a season ticket and only after all other tickets are sold.”

Brilliant....didn't they learn anything from the architects of Fenway park almost 100 years ago.

Wow. Apparently those idiot contractors in Indy were liquored up as well. But whatever Colts fans sit there will be thankful after Vinatieri shanks the prospective game winner against his former team.
