VIP Football Tickets, That's Just How I Roll

I had the opportunity to see the first game of the Indianapolis Colts’ regular season in a seat that was four rows from the 50-yard line.

Their opponents were the Jacksonville Jaguars. Let me first state that Lucas Oil Stadium is amazing. I had been on tours of the stadium and previously attended an event in one of the suites. However, this was my first game experience there and the first time I had been in the stadium while the retractable roof was open. The clear blue sky with sunlight streaming in at all angles made the setting perfect.

The seats not only came with a great view of the football action, but also an “insider's” view of the sidelines and what individual Colts were doing when they weren't playing (there was nothing scandalous). I basically saw the Colts chat amongst themselves, get Gatorade and rest, while people who I would surmise were assistants held a rectangular board over their heads/helmets to keep the sun off of them.

Another benefit of this prime location is that the seat holder has access to the Advantage Club, which has a separate concession area, dining area and restrooms. I can't speak highly enough of the customer service provided in this club.

My friend who accompanied me (using my 2nd ticket) enjoyed her visit as well, although she did say my seat would be better used by a fan who would scream and yell during the game and notice points as they occur instead of 10-minutes after the fact. I guess she said that because at one point, I asked “Hey, when did the Colts score the field goal?” In my defense, I probably was distracted momentarily by the clear blue sky.

I look forward to returning to a comparable seat and the club in the future. By the way, in case anyone reading this didn't know already, the Colts won by 2.
