Jim, I concur with your article. I too have been a season ticket holder since the arrival of the Colts. Late last year I received an email from the new head of ticket sales telling me that I had run afoul of a new policy against selling tickets. I was told that I would not be allowed to renew my seats. I have been to the vast majority of the games over the years, health and other priorities have reduced that in the last couple of years. I had hoped to increase my attendance again in the near future. I ended up having a conversation with the head of Sales and he was helpful in enabling me to retain access to my tickets, however I realized that the Colts don’t really value my 39 years of loyalty. That was quite a revelation. I hope they can straighten out the product on the field and perhaps find a better way to back those of us that have been loyal financially and in attendance. Loyalty is hard won!

Jim, great read and TRUE! As the saying goes…”The Truth Hurts”. You are a better fan than I am. I have given up on the Colts, till they give me a reason to believe again, and I want concrete facts – not a bunch of fluff for social media. #GoBengals
I’m fine never watching another minute of CTE-Ball again, and I’d appreciate if the State stopped funneling tax dollars into the billionaires who are willing to keep running it.
I’m dropping my four seats after 24 years. Difficult decision with seats 18 rows above the field but that money will be funding a nice Costa
Rico vacation this year instead. The enjoyment isn’t there anymore with the clown show they have become.
The Colts have been bad more often than not under Irsay leadership. The one sustained period of success came thanks to someone who wasn’t an Irsay.
When the Colts had the good fortune to draft a SECOND quarterback who could have led them another decade, they broke him with a line that couldn’t stop nonviolent protesters, a GM that was hand chosen by Jim Irsay.
In a conference with Mahomes, Burrow, Lawrence, Allen, Herbert, Tagovailoa, heck Pickett … they don’t have a prayer until Jim turns the team over to his daughters.
