Lucas Oil Stadium, Indianapolis

Lucas Oil Stadium, located in Downtown Indianapolis, is a premier multi-purpose facility that has been a cornerstone of the city’s sports and entertainment scene since its opening on August 16, 2008. Designed to replace the RCA Dome as the home of the NFL's Indianapolis Colts, the stadium is a modern marvel of architecture and functionality.

The stadium’s standout features include a state-of-the-art retractable roof and a massive retractable north window, allowing for both indoor and outdoor configurations. The roof, comprised of two panels weighing 2.5 million pounds each, can transition between open and closed in just 9 to 11 minutes, providing flexibility for a variety of events. The angled position of the stadium on the city block ensures a striking view of downtown Indianapolis through the retractable window.

The exterior architecture reflects the city's heritage, with reddish-brown brick and Indiana limestone accents, harmonizing with other iconic venues like Bankers Life Fieldhouse and Hinkle Fieldhouse. Inside, the field surface was upgraded in 2018 to Shaw Sports Momentum Pro, enhancing the playing experience for athletes.

Lucas Oil Stadium spans an impressive 1.8 million square feet and can accommodate up to 67,000 spectators. An underground walkway seamlessly connects it to the Indiana Convention Center, making it a hub for large-scale events in the city.

While the Indianapolis Colts call it home, the stadium has hosted a wide range of events, including the Drum Corps International Championships since 2009. Its versatile design ensures it can cater to football games, concerts, and other large gatherings.

Lucas Oil Stadium is more than just a sports venue—it’s a symbol of Indianapolis’ commitment to innovation and community engagement, offering an unparalleled experience to fans and visitors alike.
