From the Dome to the Luc!

On Sunday they opened the new Lucas Oil stadium for all season ticket holders to tour. My dad and mom shared two of their tickets with Brian to celebrate his birthday. We said goodbye to the RCA Dome and hello to the new enormous Lucas Oil Stadium. The size of this facility is unreal. Thank you dad and mom for giving us the oppurtunity to be able to see the stadium in a way you won't ever get to again. The pictures below just don't give it justice.

Adios

Welcome

I couldn't pass up getting a picture of my dad with his new favorite toy. He bought a dixie chopper last month for business and now he can't wait to find an opportunity to mow the lawn and grunt like Tim "the toolman" Taylor...haha

This isn't a very clear picture, but they built 8 opened up suites at one end of the field. They are level with the endzone and only about 20 feet from all of the action. I am sure those are the suites that cost about $200,000 a year.

Our family (especially my husband) are excited to get this new colts season off and running. We love getting friends and family together after church and having football parties where ever we can have them. Winter just isn't the same in our house once the season is over. My husband annoyingly keeps reminding me of how many more days before the first season game starts. Last night he had to work late and he made sure to pock his head back in the house before he left to remind me that there was a football game on Fox 59 just in case I got bored. I just rolled my eyes as he laughed back at me. He knows that I am preparing myself to have to watch ESPN exclusively for the next 4 months.
