Indy Star feature on Lucas Oil Stadium today

 

Hey guys...head over to Indy Star and check out some new photos and an article regarding the new stadium. Yesterday was the last media tour of the stadium before it opens. It seems the biggest black eye is this whole drainage ordeal and seems to be a pretty serious problem. Hopefully they can fix this and I am sure with a 750 mil price tag, they will get it taken care of. It just sucks it happens to be on the side of the data center. Can there be a worse place for water to leak? As long as the structure wasn't damaged, I am sure this will be fixed. Also, another thing I didn't like was the obstructed view seats. Those are AWFUL. Why even put those seats there? I supposed just to get more people in the building. But I would think these days that modern stadiums should not have any obstructed view seats (unless people are standing of course). I know for a fact that the Cardinals stadium has visible areas where seats could have been put in, but they chose not to because they would be directly behind the supporting beams. Looks like they decided on the opposite for the Luke. All in all, it looks to be one hell of a stadium for Indy. Now the only question I have left is...how many ounces are in those $7 beers! :)
