ColtzfanIndianapolis Colts fans have a unique opportunity to have their picture displayed on one of 200 permanent banners at Lucas Oil Stadium, which is set to open in September. Colts team photographers will be on hand March 19 for a photo shoot which is free and open to the public. Colts officials said the photographers will be looking to photograph the zaniest, most fervent Colts fans in Indiana. The photo shoot will be at the 56th Street Colts complex from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Doors open at 3 p.m. The team will select the top 200 pictures from the photo shoot to be on permanent “12th man” banners inside Lucas Oil Stadium. Fans are encouraged to wear their craziest game-day attire, which may include face painting, blue hair or whatever fans would like to show they are the Biggest Colts Fan.

One fan from the top 200 pictures, will also win a VIP Experience to the home opener at Lucas Oil Stadium. The VIP Experience includes four tickets, pre-game on-field sideline access, limo to and from the game and dinner for four at a downtown restaurant. Fans being photographed for the Biggest Fan Contest will be asked to sign a waiver granting rights of the photograph to the Indianapolis Colts. 

Sports marketers are calling this latest stunt by the Colts’ sales staff a smart marketing move. What do you think?

  1. This is a big help. Thanks for share it here.

  2. Doug Henning!

  3. These guy were thugs — they grew up in freaking Haughville! Smh, sigh. If the mayor needs/wants "quality" Black Hoosiers who are NOT corrupt, give me a call — I know plenty. Land bank info here - http://www.kubepharm.com/indylandbank/IndyLandBank.html

  4. Magician and illusionist!

  5. The basic idea of nice apartments with parking and retail is a good one, but this design seems overwhelmingly big/tall for Broad Ripple. The size could be disguised a bit with lots of big trees/landscaping, but the complex is too massive to blend in easily. That section of canal between College and Westfield will also need to be upgraded on both sides. Nice apartments facing onto a nice promenade with shade trees/plantings could bring together the canal towpath/Monon recreation, the outdoor seating at existing restaurants, and this project into something that upgrades the whole area. A plan for the whole stretch makes more sense than facing nice new housing onto what looks like a ditch. Is there a plan? Does the public have input? Who pays? The apartment idea seems to be reasonable, but Whole Foods is not a good idea for appropriate retail. Besides the store being physically too big, there are already Fresh Market at 54xCollege and Whole Foods in Nora for fancy groceries. Good Earth and Kroger are within walking distance of the Shell site. There are at least 7 grocery stores within a safe bike ride. Whole Foods would add nothing but traffic congestion. This design is on the right track, but there needs to be more work done to ensure that it blends in with and enhances the existing community. A project that large will set a tone for that whole part of town. It could be a real asset, but only if done right.
