Indianapolis Colts Tickets

The Indianapolis Colts have played at Lucas Oil Stadium since the 2008 season, and the building is a big part of what makes a Colts game day distinctive. The seven-level venue in Indianapolis, Indiana, covers 1.8 million square feet and seats 63,000 for football. Colts tickets span every level of the building, from lower-bowl sideline sections to the upper deck, and a retractable roof gives the team the option of playing home games outdoors for the first time since the franchise arrived in the city. Before Lucas Oil, the Colts played from 1984 through 2007 in the RCA Dome, originally known as the Hoosier Dome and built with an NFL team in mind. The current stadium has since hosted Super Bowl XLVI and NCAA tournament basketball, and every offseason the city welcomes the NFL Scouting Combine, an event the Colts have hosted since 1987.

The Colts were founded in Baltimore on January 23, 1953, and the name came from a fan contest honoring the city's horse breeding and racing history, a name the franchise kept when it relocated to Indianapolis in 1984. The Baltimore years delivered NFL championships in 1958, 1959, and 1968, headlined by the 1958 title game against the New York Giants, a 23-17 sudden-death overtime win watched by 45 million people and still regarded as among the greatest games in professional football history. After the 1970 AFL-NFL merger, the Colts won the first post-merger Super Bowl, edging the Dallas Cowboys 16-13 in Super Bowl V on Jim O'Brien's field goal with five seconds left. The franchise record also includes one of football's most famous upsets, a Super Bowl III loss to the New York Jets as an 18-point favorite. Since the move to Indianapolis, the team has added 18 playoff appearances, two conference championships, and two more Super Bowl trips.

The defining run of the Indianapolis era came behind quarterback Peyton Manning, drafted first overall out of Tennessee in 1998. With Tony Dungy taking over as head coach in 2002, the Colts reached the playoffs every season from 2002 through 2010 and closed the decade with 115 regular-season wins and a .719 winning percentage, the best mark of any NFL team across the 2000s. The peak arrived in the 2006 season. Trailing the New England Patriots 21-3 in the AFC Championship Game, Indianapolis rallied to win 38-34, then defeated the Chicago Bears 29-17 in Super Bowl XLI for the first championship of the Indianapolis era. Three years later the Colts started 14-0 and reached Super Bowl XLIV, where they fell to the New Orleans Saints 31-17.
