Lucas Oil Stadium
Indianapolis, IN
After more than two decades of playing at the RCA Dome and with the opening of Lucas Oil Stadium in 2008, the Indianapolis Colts play at the newest stadium in the NFL. In December 2004, the Colts and the City of Indianapolis agreed to construct a new stadium for the team. The stadium was built at a cost of $720 million. The Colts paid $100 million of the total cost and the remaining funding came from the State of Indiana and the City of Indianapolis through increased taxes on food and beverages. On September 20, 2005 construction began on the stadium, adjacent to the Colts former home, the RCA Dome. In March 2006, Lucas Oil Products bought the naming rights to the stadium for $120 million over 20 years.

The Colts will play their first regular season game at Lucas Oil Stadium on September 7, 2008 against the Chicago Bears. Located in downtown Indianapolis, the stadium features a retractable roof that allows the Colts to play outside for the first time since the team moved to Indianapolis from Baltimore. On the outside, the stadium has a facade of brick and glass allowing it to blend with the surrounding buildings. Lucas Oil Stadium has seating for 63,000 fans that is expandable to seat 70,000 for larger events. The Fieldturf playing field is 25 feet below street level allowing fans easier access to their seats. Many modern amenities are found throughout the stadium from the high definition replay/scoreboards to the 150 luxury suites. Aside from serving as the home of the Colts, the stadium will host the NCAA Basketball March Madness Tournaments in 2009, 2010 and 2011, and will serve as the permanent back up host for the Final Four Tournament. Lucas Oil Stadium has one of the largest videoboards in the NFL. Consisting of three screens each, the 97-foot-wide-by-nearly-53-foot-high scoreboards hang in the northwest and southeast corners of the building. Prior to the announcement of a new stadium, there had been talk of the Colts possibly moving to Los Angeles, but now they will remain in Indianapolis for years to come. After the Colts moved into Lucas Oil Stadium, the RCA Dome was demolished in order for the convention center to be expanded. In May 2008 the NFL awarded Indianapolis and Lucas Oil Stadium the biggest game in sports, Super Bowl XLVI. This spectacular sporting event will be played on February 5, 2012.
