Yell · 2005-03-10, 11:37 PM

Yes they will and if they do suck then i will drink more to make them look good.

Greenguy · 2005-03-11, 09:03 AM

just call Kat

Torn Rose · 2005-03-11, 10:04 AM

do you really want to listen to me laughing my ass off everytime they fumble or throw a INT?

Anyway, I don't think the Colts will be in "upstate New York" this year

Yell · 2005-03-11, 10:11 AM

The Dolts that can't even make it to the big dance with all that fire power! At least the Bills made to four even if we did lose all of them.

Can i still come down to see you guys.

Greenguy · 2005-03-11, 03:03 PM

Will the Colts be in Melbourne anytime soon?

Torn Rose · 2005-03-11, 03:13 PM

2 hours to Miami, 2 hours to Jax, 2 Hours to Tampa....If they come to FL I'm covered.

Greenguy · 2005-03-11, 04:39 PM

..and yet you've never been to a game.

Torn Rose · 2005-03-11, 04:53 PM

a NFL game.... I've been to about 30-40 NCAA games which I would rather see anyday of the week compared to the NFL... Hell, I'd rather go to a NBA game then an NFL game.... but I will go.... one day.....

Greenguy · 2005-03-11, 06:21 PM

You keep watching the amateurs play & leave the professional football to those of us that win fantasy leagues

dareutwo · 2005-03-11, 06:33 PM

I'm with Torn, I'd rather go to any college game first. But I'd see an NBA game anytime.. if it wasn't 6 hours away.

Torn Rose · 2005-03-21, 12:57 PM

I just wanted to share the idea for the Colts new stadium

http://www.colts.com/video/default.cfm?media_id=11476

you will need realplayer.

Ugly outside, kick ass inside plus it's put to Mellencamp music so it makes it that much cooler!

tjchuck · 2005-03-21, 01:33 PM

Here is my 2 cents

They sure needed a new stadium and this one looks pretty sweet.
I really like the retractable roof.
And finally they will get rid of that fucking turf.

Yell · 2005-03-21, 02:35 PM

Pretty cool torn i don't think its that ugly different and cool inside.

I have been there for a game and i would go back just to see the new stadium plus we had a good time in the city.

cockNballs · 2005-03-21, 02:43 PM

New stadiums suck!!!!!

of course I'm only saying that because the Patriots raised my prices again!!

when I first bought my seats they were $13.00 per seat per game, you paid for pre season so it was 10 games $260.00 and I could make payments

now its $90 per seat per game for $1800.00 (plus "handling" charges of course) the bill comes 3/7 and I have to have all of it in by 3/31

and these are cheap end zone seats, nothing spectacular

screw Bob Kraft and the Patriots

OK I'm done with my rant now and off to mail my check

Torn Rose · 2005-03-21, 03:03 PM

$13 per seat???? When was this 1972???? Damn you are an old fucker, even Purdue is over $55 a game.

What would you rather have? $90 seats and 3 rings or $13 seats and the #1 pick year after year? it's a fact, new modern stadiums = Super Bowls so hell yeah, raise those prices.

Torn Rose · 2005-03-21, 03:04 PM

BTW, it is a very nice stadum, but did the Mellencamp make it that much better? lol

1994 I think maybe 1995 one year before Parcells got here

dareutwo · 2005-03-21, 04:16 PM

MN has been trying for new stadium for 3+ years now.
Doesn't look like it will happen this year.
But the gophers (U of MN) probably will, because it will be 80+% will come from private donations.
I'm all for tax brakes for businesses, but the NFL or any other sports team models, it simply doesn't make sense as NO outside money is coming in.
Assuming a 600 million stadium, and tax payers at 40% (most recent proposal), 240 million that we get to pay for.
A new stadium does NOT bring in new money for the state that builds them. It simply moves it around the state, and more than likely moves the money out of state.

Indy and Mpls domes aren't that old.

I'm all for updating though!
Green Bay - Chicago etc...

dareutwo · 2005-03-21, 04:17 PM

Oh yeah - we recently built, and are still paying for the Excel Center for the Wild.
Anyone seen any NHL games lately?

Torn Rose · 2005-03-21, 05:36 PM

Actually that’s not true in the case of Indy.

With all the conventions and NCAA final 4 (3 - 4 in the next 10 years) Indy will be hosting it will bring outside $ to Indy, and with a new Stadium they can now try and get the Super Bowl played in Indy since the RCA is too small for the Super Bowl requirements.

RCA was small when they built it, it's over 21 years old and the 2nd smallest in the NFL and not built for today’s ticket buying fan, and renovation would be useless as it still would not allow more then 56,000 fans into a game, with this new stadium it will be 66,000+ and have luxury seating which is where the real $ is made.

There was a big stink over what you are saying in regards to the Fieldhouse in Indy five years ago, everyone bitched it would not make $ and was a waste, but since they built it they have made huge $ and is considered one of the best venues in the nation now.

Indy is going out of its way to be the sports capital of the world, they have the NCAA, 500, Colts, and Pacers and host F1, NASCAR, and so many other sporting events that could be anywhere else, but they come to Indy since they have a great reputation of being well organized and up to date host.

This is needed to keep that tradition going.
