I know. It's so sad. :'(

I remember when they built that dome. I think it was 1984. It wasn't all that impressive in the 21 century, but back in the 1980s it was quite a sight to see. And then the Colts came to town. Baltimore never forgave us. lol

They held a big contest to name the dome. From hundreds of thousands of suggestions they decided to name it the Hoosier Dome. Later, RCA bought the naming rights, and it was named the RCA Dome, but a lot of us never stopped calling it the Hoosier Dome. I went to lots of Colts games in that stadium. You want to know something? They've won every home game I've ever attended. I've never been to a Colts game that they lost. Not one. Ever.

Lucas Stadium is nice. Very high tech. Big. Sparkly. Roomy. Lots of razzle dazzle. But it will never be the Hoosier Dome... ooops!.... I mean the RCA Dome. :)

no it takes time for things to have a personality of its own...it will take a while. ;)

David In Indy:
Yes, I suppose you're right.

*sigh*

And the Lucas Oil stadium has a roof that cranks out, so they can play games "outdoors". The Hoosier Dome didn't have that feature! ;)

It will catch on. I'm certain it will. But I will still miss the old dome. :-\
