Indianapolis Colts

Gotta love and support our local team, win or lose, they are what they are, our cities team! I have been to several colts games over the years, seen Jeff George, Payton Manning, Andrew Luck, and many other names come and go over the years. I wear blue and cheer our team on game day. The players may come and go but the team will always be ours! Jim Irsay may own the brand, but us fans make the team what it is. Bleed blue and white!
Go Colts!!!

A cowardly team that stole out of Baltimore in the middle of the night to move to one of the most boring places on earth, a team whose owner has a well documented love affair with pain meds, an NFL owner who earned his dough the hard way– he inherited it so his drug problems make sense! I mean inheriting a team must be rough on a guy no?
So the whole organization was essentially born a weasel, is owned by a drug addict and is managed by people who can’t seem to figure out how to make the team competitive!
The team, as a «dome» team, has always been soft, they are typically steamrolled by other teams, they refused to stand by a hall of fame quarterback so that they could intentionally finish last in order to sign Andrew Luck, again a real weasel move. Unfortunately, it looks like Luck isn’t the savior and that Hall of Fame quarterback took the Denver Broncos to a Super Bowl. They draft small receivers when they have no defense, they cannot stop quality teams, they have a coach who makes bizarre post game emotional speeches and claims to be proud after humiliating losses to vastly inferior opponents. It is a bizarre situation showing no signs of improving!
The team was annihilated by the NE Patriots in last year’s AFC Championship game, I mean annihilated… it was embarrassing! They haven’t competed with New England in years, in fact the boy wonder quarterback has never beat NE and actually never given them a game. After that shellacking the Colts signed a number of players who are apparently past their prime and not able to help. The owner and GM are at odds, the strange guy coaching the team is at odds with the GM. The drug addict and his GM started the whole deflategate controversy, and now appear to be dealing with a big steaming bowl of bad karma!
In the most embarrassing manner possible, the Colts raised a runner up banner in their stadium, that just underscores my point– I think the name should be changed to the Indianapolis Running Weasels and the Mascot should be Sidney the Syringe!

We have season tickets and are diehard fans. This was the first time that we had taken our 3 and 6 year of children. They had a blast and want to go back. We love going to the games and try to never miss one.

Led by our man Luck in #12, for the past three years the Indianapolis Colts have shown dominance in their AFC South division, making playoff appearances each time. With a growing arsenal of offensive weapons, the Colts look to once again be one of the top offenses in the NFL. Although they have yet to make it to the Super Bowl under the lead of Chuck Pagano and Andrew Luck, the chances of it are getting better and better. Go Colts! #BleedBlue

The Indianapolis Colts the AFC South Division.
Unilocal Challenge ⁶⁹⁄₁₀₀.
This team is straight blessed by the football Gods. They’re in a weak ass division so they easily win the South every year. The Jags, Texans or Titans aren’t powerhouses in the NFL. Put this team in the AFC East or North and they’ll get spanked every year. This team will definitely be exposed as a fraud.
Its like the NFL are doing the Colts a favor they have the Miami Dolphins in the AFC East and the Colts in the South why don’t they swap places?. So a team like this I really can’t give a better opinion on them because I feel that they’re pampered by the NFL in playing in a weak division.
In my opinion I think it’s all about the money and not the love for the game because back in the day it was good playoff matches. Peyton Manning vs Tom Brady now if they’re in the same division it’s gonna make it harder for them to constantly see them play in the playoffs.
But if they were in the same division overall it makes everybody better right? So since its all about money you have Peyton in the AFC South knowing damn well they’re going to win the South because no other team can compete with them and the NFL wanted to see Payton vs. Tom Brady in the playoffs. It’s all about money.
Now Andrew Luck has easy street for the Season. Then when playoffs come the Colts got bounced out.
Think of it like you’re playing a game of chess you’re only going to get better if you play people who are better than you.
I’m glad this organization gets exposed during playoffs. Sincerely Vincent D
Always, Enjoying the simple things in life.

My favorite professional sports team. They are great on the field but also great off the field. They are also very active in the community and they care about the city. I wish I didn’t live in DC since there are pretty much no Colts fans there but I always feel at home when I visit Indy since the fanbase and the team are wonderful.
While I do miss Peyton Manning, I’m very glad we have Andrew Luck. I’m also glad that they are back on a winning track since Mr Irsay cleaned house and started over. Say what you want about him but I’m glad he’s the owner of my team. He may have his personal problems but he’s done a great job with the franchise and they are heading in the right direction.
Can’t wait to see more games. Go Colts!

In Mumbai and Delhi, the cops don’t let you sleep. A specific division of the cops are there just to stop you napping.
They are known as the India Nap Police.
Let me start by saying I love Indianapolis, a lot. The city, I mean.
I don’t love the Colts.
First-​Hand Experience: I’ve only ever seen the Colts play once in person, and it was in a pre-​season game. It has nothing to do with why I don’t like them, although I have to say they weren’t very impressive in that game, and Peyton Manning (who has since moved on) barely even took a snap. And the fans were quiet as mice, too.
Now that I’ve seen every NFL team play live & been to every NFL stadium (current and former), time to review them on Unilocal!I love stadiums! I’ve been to every cool stadium in the UK & North America, due to my obsession with travel & sport. I’ve toured America as a musician for 7 years. In that time, I’ve seen sports games at (or visited when empty, or both) almost every major stadium in US and Canada. I have pictures of most which I’ll upload at some point. Also, on future travels, I plan to take new pix, and add more stadia! Watch this space!
***back to regular review***
The Colts are one of my least fave teams in the league. Let me be brief.
(1) I don’t like when a team is ripped out of its home and relocated. This team will always be a rip off of the Baltimore Colts.
(2) I don’t like how much the taxpayers had to pay for the new stadium. It should have been privately funded because it’s private ownership that is profiting most from it.
(3) I don’t like how you treated the greatest legend in the history of your team or perhaps the game. Peyton Manning. He deserved to play as long as he wanted to. I hope he wins a Superbowl in Denver and Indianapolis never does. Nothing against Andrew Luck who is pretty cool.
(4) I really, really, really, really don’t like Jim whatshisname.
(5) When you won the Superbowl, the owner comes out and makes it all about Christianity. I know that’s really popular in Indiana and everything, but come on. It was Peyton Manning’s moment. It was Indianapolis’ moment. Why did the owner have to make it the church’s moment? Not to mention he said something like «all this talk about two black coaches, what’s more important is that they are two good Christian coaches.» On the contrary, it is very important that they were two black coaches, Christian coaches are typical but black coaches for a long time weren’t even accepted in the game and it’s still harder for non-​whites in coaching, so STFU. Thanks.
Other than that, no issues.
Oh wait. Justin used to torture me on Madden with Dwight Freeney so the very fact that he was a Colt made me dislike the Colts by association.

I love this stadium… I only wish my hometown stadium (Cincinnati) had a dome like this one… Like all stadiums the food etc. is very expensive but that’s to be expected…

I was lucky enough to see a regular season game between the Colts and Jaguars at Everbank field when Peyton Manning was still the quarterback… It was awesome to see him play!
The team now is pretty good as well, but it’s hard to think of the Colts without first thinking Peyton…
Although, if Luck has it his way he’ll get out of the shadow that is known as Peyton Manning!!!

I am a Marion county tax payer so i do have my issues with what we had to pay for the new stadium but im also a Colts season ticket holder and love them and going to our awesome new stadium.
How can you not love them… look what the Colts did to Indiana sports. We used to be a basketball state and now we are all football because of the Colts.
I could say so many things about this great organization and what they have done for Indy. i could go on and on about all the great players that have played for us and what they have brought to the game. I could go on about the owners, the coaching staff, the management. But if you live in Indy you already know. so ill just say
GO COLTS… BLEED BLUE…

Only the greated thing ever! Bleed Blue. GO Colts.

Awesome team with a commitment to winning! Luck is fun to watch for sure!

How does one review a football team on Unilocal?Hm… for the enjoyable experience of escaping the grading of high school papers, I went to a Colts game, and admit that it was indeed enjoyable to watch. Now, if we were to grade them on performance, success, etc., that would indeed be a very different story. They are the NFL representatives of our beloved Indianapolis, and even though you may not want to admit it, but they are part of the representation of Indy, one of the finest sports capitals in the world. For that, good job and play on.

Above Average NFL Franchise. Back from the old days were a successful NFL franchise in Baltimore winning NFL championships. Had hall of fame quarterbacks by the names of Unitas, George (Just kiddin’), Manning and possibly Luck. Since settling in Indianapolis, the team has had peaks and valleys. Since the arrival of Manning, draft picks by Polian, the team has been a formidable AFC contender. Got over the hump in 2006, record breaking seasons. I believe their biggest foe was the Patriots ever since leaving the AFC east and joining the south. Perhaps lot of their success is due to playing in a weaker division.
Grade: B

Very nice facility for business meetings. My client held back-​to-​back meetings at the pavilion — I was the keynote speaker for each day.
Catering was terrific. Room is comfortable and sound is of high quality (nice acoustic treatment in the ceiling which makes a HUGE difference).
Cool to be able to look out on the Colts outdoor practice field during the session.
Highly recommended as a business meeting location.

Oh boy, where do I start? I love the Colts. Die hard fan, but now I’m finding myself questioning whether I’m a Peyton Manning fan or a Colts fan. NOT AN EASY DECISION! Peyton did more for this city than any other player has done for any other city EVER! With that being said, I guess Mr. Irsay made the right decision. This Luck guy looks GREAT! Hope it turns out for us here in Indy!

Figured I better put my review in before Blue himself becomes a free agent.
Indianapolis, thank you for making a football fan out of me. Peyton, you will be missed but never forgotten. GO COLTS!

Some might immediately say, «5 Stars?»
*What about the 600 million dollar bill they left the tax payers to foot? Answer: blame the city.
*What about cutting Peyton Manning? Answer: what about Peyton Manning offering to restructure his deal since he was paid 26 million for the season he didn’t play?
*What about cutting all those fan favorite players today? Answer: a sign of commitment to recreating an organization from top to bottom to craft a new culture.
This past year has been a roller coaster for Colts fans — tack on the fact we hosted the Super Bowl to Manning’s brother & Tom Brady.
The Colts will be around long after Peyton Manning, and the Colts were around long before Manning. Duane Bickett. Jack Trudeau. Jeff George (yeaaaaa!). Harbaugh! Aaron Bailey & his almost perfect catch. Siragusa. Billy Brooks. Dickerson. Poole. Ken Dilger. Clarence Verdin. Sean Dawkins. Trev Alberts (Nebraska!). Roosevelt Potts. Roosevelt Colvin! LaMont Warren. And, Quentin Coryatt. And that’s not even talking about the Baltimore era.
These are the players I grew up loving to watch. There are going to be a litany of players again in this generation. And better yet… for the first time… the entire organization is on the same page about the culture they want to build from the very beginning.
Think about the decisions this team has had to make and every single time they’ve come out on top:
*Baltimore or Indy?
*Manning or Leaf?
*Too give everything to keep Dungy or not?
*Polian or a new era?
*Manning or a new era?
Each time they made the right choice. At this point… Irsay has built my trust. At this point… you might be wondering why I’m so positive during «The Week the Colts lost Manning.» Well… he lost us. He lost the Colts. And that’s why he was so sad. And, if you ever want to broach the topic of why I don’t agree that he’s the greatest of all time or even that I like him, by all means… broach. Also go ahead and broach the topic of how I don’t like Tony Dungy, too.
What do I like? I love the Colts, but I’m picky — very picky — just as much, if not more, as what I eat & drink. If I’m going to show my love for a team (meaning: pay arms, legs & take from my razor fund for games & take away from my time on other awesome things on learning the genius of coffee) I’m going to want them to be exactly the way I want them to be. I’ve wanted a hard-​nosed, brittle, defensive minded coach and young, aggressive GM since I started being a Colts fan as a kid. And now I have that, so my personal experience with this team right is through the roof. Plus, our owner is awesome. Across the street from his team’s stadium he has his personal oddity collection on display at the State Museum, which includes the original scroll of Keruoac’s On The Road.
This past week I heard an amazing quote: «In the Bronx Tale, Sammy says, «hey, consider yourself lucky if you have three great women in your life. That’s just the same as a Colts fan.» Unitas. Manning. Luck.
And, what are the chances that a team with a horseshoe on their helmet would have a franchise QB named «Luck?» It’s true… we’re a lucky bunch.

Attended the IU vs. BSU game last night. Lucas Oil is a great stadium, it was a good game but what dope decided to have only a few concession stands open for 40,000 football fans? Huge miss on that one. Thousands of $ of missed opportunity. Waited in line for 20 minutes and when I got to the head of the line, NO POPCORN? Hey dummy, they sell prepackaged corn and oil at Sam’s Club BY THE CASE. Buy a spare or two! Colts rule, Lucas Oil is awesome, but the food service consistently disappoints. Surely there are alternatives who can do a better job than CenterPlate? Go Colts!

All hail Peyton Manning!
I mean… that guy’s pretty good, if you like 6’5″, 230-​pound quarterbacks with a laser rocket arm.
Bummer about the playoffs this year though.
