  • The Worlds Greatest Car Junkie Football Stadium

    Yesterday the Colts season ticket holders got to check out their seats in the brand new $720,000,000 Lucas Oil Stadium. I was thrilled when I found out this place would have a racing theme.
    Thought I'd share my pictures I took.

    This place is huge... Outside next to a local drinking establishment:


    Notice the 2 TF Dragsters in the main lobby






    Sprint car








    The Funny Car Cafe


    The Oil Can Grill


    An exploded engine




    My idea of a HD television. 36' X 96'




    Looking from my seat toward the Bud Light Zone when the window is closed.


    Closed roof


    Bud Light Zone with window open


    The roof opening. It takes 950HP to open and close the roof.


    Completely open. Covers over 4 acres


    Roof and window open


    View from my seats

      That is awesome. You'd need a season ticket to have enough time to see the place. 8)

        We were there from 3:00-7:00 yesterday just checking out the place.

        Get this: $7 for a beer, $4.00 for a bottled water

        I bought 2 beers and a hot dog = $18.75

        OUCH!

          Sounds like some of the NHRA National Events I have been to....

              Wow....Must be nice to be as successful as Lucas Oil.....That is a lot of coin.

              Guess that is why the beer costs $7.... :o

              I paid $9 a beer last year at Bengals Stadium.

                You're surprised? Maybe you should re-read your first post on the price of that building.

                  The exploded view engines are really cool and would love to see them in person.
                  Wonder how much the "decor" cost, besides the building !!

                    I'm not suprised. It was expensive at the old dome. Just not quite as bad. It would be nice if they would give you a little Lucas lube before they ram it to ya. Grin

                      I'm sure Lucas' portion of that $720MM was a small percentage of the tab.


                      My mom lives in Carmel and works for Conseco, they had *nice* boxes at the old stadium. I am hoping they have good ones at the new place (I'll have to ask), I want to go check that out in person!

                        Man...neat place!

                        I'd get my ass kicked walking in with a Pats jersey on I think. Impressive structure there for sure. Did they have all of you guys flush the toilets at the same time to make sure they didn't back up? ;D

                              Small world, my daughter lives in Carmel. Nice area and nice stadium. The wife was up there last weekend and she said it was crazy how many people were in the area.
