Decisions...

As Colts Homer posted, the preseason schedule was announced today.

The Colts' first home preseason game of 2008 - the first football game of any kind in Lucas Oil Stadium - will be against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, August 24 at 8 p.m.

As a season ticket holder, I have a decision to make. Do I go to the first preseason game in Lucas Oil Stadium knowing it's a meaningless game and I'll probably end up leaving early, or do I wait for the prime-time opener against the Chicago Bears?

Part of me wants to be there for the first game ever played in the new stadium... but part of me would rather it be a sold-out packed house in a game that actually means something. I mean, do I really want the outcome of the game riding on Jim Sorgi and Josh Betts? Do we ever win preseason games?

I'm just curious to see what you guys thought, especially season ticket holders. I think I'm leaning towards going to the Bills game. I'm afraid I'll miss something if I'm not there.

I for one...

will be going to every game at the Lube this year. Even the preseason ones. Usually the preseason games are a good time to take your kids, since it's cheaper, especially if they have never been to a Colts game, it lets them try it without "wasting" an expensive ticket.

Also, when August rolls around, my football jones has reached critical mass, so I don't care if it's preseason or not...there's guys on the field, Jim! They're wearing pads! Look! A Football!!

I'm there.

Check it to pancakes! Pancakes!

I Wish

I had season tickets. I'm on the waiting list, but I'm far back. Move, ticket holders, move! Money will be a problem though. I have Notre Dame football seson tickets as well. I will probably just mooch off of my friends with season ticket.

preseason

Going to the Preseason games is typically very boring, except for the third game, which I believe is the one the starters play at least a half. I'll plan on going to the preseason games though just to get a feel for the Lube.

Wait, that didn't sound right.

A decsion I wish I had to make

I live 350 miles from Indy. The closest thing to a Colts game I've ever attended is an Iowa game when they had Clark and Sanders.

I guess I didn't know how good I had it.

I live in Chicago but hold season tickets. I have never, however, gone to a preseason game, but this time I will be attending one of the preseason games.

I plan on touring the whole stadium, finding my brick on the concourse, etc. etc.

Should be a great time.
