This was added to a stray article:
Indianapolis plans to have the new Colts stadium complete by the year 2008. The new stadium seems to offer many benefits for the Colts and the city of Indianapolis. An event Indianapolis is hoping to hold by the year 2011 is the Super Bowl. Although the stadium is planned to be complete by 2008, an expanded Convention Center, needed for a Super Bowl, will not be finished until 2010. To hold a Super Bowl, an NFL team bids with its city in a year-long process. The year 2011 is still up for grabs, and the Colts are hoping to hold the Super Bowl in that year. A major difficulty in selling Indianapolis to the Official NFL is location. Most Super Bowls are held in warm, sunny locations. Indianapolis will need to sell the Midwest in general, where temperatures rarely exceed the 40s in February. Another factor for Indianapolis is money. Indianapolis is small in corporate headquarters and the media market, which attracts advertising and media. The city of Indianapolis will need to sell and promote all that it is worth. If the Super Bowl does land in Indianapolis, the event will give Indy a big economic boost. The future of the Colts and city of Indianapolis is highly anticipated with the new stadium and hopes for a Super Bowl.
If anyone is interested in integrating it into this article... a news story source would be good too. --W.marsh 16:07, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sidebar
I removed "Closed" and "Demolished" from the sidebar. They didn't seem necessary considering it could be 30 years or more until they apply to this stadium.--Letsgomets1212 16:51, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] 10% Property Tax Increase
The article indicates that property taxes will be increased by 10% to pay for the stadium. Any truth to that? Jcarlyle 04:02, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "The Luke"
I'm not going to revert the revert because there's no reason to start an edit war over it, but I have heard "The Luke" as the prevalent nickname the stadium is earning, so I think it is legitimate to include that in the article. Craig R. Nielsen 03:46, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
- They should call it The Barn, because it looks like a barn. PolarisSLBM 17:16, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
Im not sure its a 'prevalent' nickname when I haven't even heard of that besides on here... therefore I think we should wait until there is a consensus name. I'm a pretty hardcore fan, so if I haven't heard a name then I convinced its not very legit. Also, does it even have to have a nickname? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.211.248.104 (talk) 16:54, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
I work in the Indianapolis media market. Heck, I drive by the place everyday. I've never heard this nickname until it showed up on this page. Nobody is widely calling it "The Luke." It has no nickname at this point. Just my two cents.
- There is a source on the page to an Anderson newspaper calling it The Luke. I've heard numerous people call it The Luke, and people know it as The Luke (though the entire "I've heard/never heard argument is personal research and cannot be factored in. There is a source for the name in use, hence its inclusion in the article. -- MeHolla! 16:27, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
I concede the point. I just read an article dated June 21st of 2007 by Bill Benner where he references it as "The Luke." He's a widely respected member of the Indy sports community. I still don't think it's widespread, but it seems to be the one and only catching nickname out there. (and I apologize for my terrible Wiki editing...hehe)
[edit] Proposed stadium
I think we should remove the proposed stadium template since it's already done and it is ging to be opened soon. Brady4mvp (talk) 15:25, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
- I've removed it once, and it was reverted. HoosierState said, and I guess I'll defer, that it should stay until it is officially opened. -- MeHolla! 19:37, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
- Technically it's not done, the field hasn't even been installed yet and the south windows are still going up. Personally I'd prefer if there was a tag that said "under construction" instead of "proposed". HoosierStateTalk 22:24, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
- Done. Template:Stadium_under_construction -- MeHolla! 22:40, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
