Lucas Oil Stadium named 2009 Sports Facility Of The Year
Lucas Oil Stadium opened its door to the public back in September 2008. After a long and somewhat controversial development, which saw arguments both for and against the construction, the stadium quickly became the gem of downtown Indianapolis. All eight games at Lucas Oil Stadium sold out in 2008,...
Injuries. Injuries! INJURIES! And Bill Polian... pissed
We got some nice news yesterday afternoon: Bob Sanders and Dwight Freeney are ready to play. Sadly, because it is kind of my job to relay all kinds of information to you (the loyal readers of Stampede Blue), I must now act as the bearer of bad news. The Colts are hurt. Like, a...

Camp is closing soon. Colts City has been taken down. Yesterday was the last day for camp fundamentals work, which is the core focus for all Colts camps. Today, they focus a bit more on game-planning for the Falcons, but what that really means is a lot of film work, walk-throughs, and rehab for the...
Wednesday Notes: Down In Front
Jamie Samuelsen thinks the Lions released Kevin Jones too quickly. I tend to agree with him as they never gave Jones time to get healthy again. Obviously they have every right to move on, but I have a feeling that move is going to come back to haunt them down the road. In the end I also think...
Colts Links: 7/16/2008
Forgotten in all the silliness surrounding Peyton Manning's knee surgery is he has had a similar procedure before... in college. This is also the same knee then-Vikings rookie Chris Hovan rammed his helmet into during the 2001 pre-season. Manning has worn a brace on that knee for years, and despite...
Colts con fans on pre-season tickets?
Interesting take on the timing of Manning's knee injury (via 18 to 88): The Colts are basically saying, "Sure, wait till the last minute so you can have a reason to ensure that everyone who pays for preseason tickets will spend the whole time checking out the new digs at Lucas Oil and not have...
