Peyton Manning’s return to Indianapolis for Sunday night’s Indianapolis Colts game against the Denver Broncos has been a boon for hoteliers. According to Visit Indy, 99 percent of downtown’s 7,200 hotel rooms are sold out for Sunday night, a typically difficult night for hotels to fill rooms. Only about 1,600 of those can be chalked up to a convention. Sunday’s prime-time game will mark the first time Manning will play at Lucas Oil Stadium since joining the Broncos last season after 14 years with the Colts.
