About Lucas Oil Stadium
Lucas Oil Stadium seats about 63,000 for Colts games (expandable toward 67,000-70,000 for major events) across a lower level (100s), mid-level Loge/Club sections and an upper level (300s), under a retractable roof with a retractable north window. Lower-level sideline seats near midfield are the best overall, the clubs add indoor comfort, and the upper deck is loud and great value. With the roof, games can be open-air or fully climate-controlled. It also hosts NCAA Final Fours, the Big Ten Championship, concerts and hosted a Super Bowl.
A brick-and-glass stadium with a retractable roof and a huge retractable window/wall on the north end that opens to frame the downtown Indianapolis skyline, giving it an indoor-outdoor flexibility. When open it feels like an open-air stadium; closed, it is a climate-controlled dome, and the retro brick facade nods to Indiana's fieldhouse tradition.

Seats to avoid & obstructed views
Top rows of the 300 level in the end zones: Very high and steep with a distant, flattened end-on angle.
Lower-level field-end corners: Sightlines run down the length of the field, making deep plays harder to judge.
Seats facing the open north window on bright afternoons: When the window is open, low sun can cause glare from that end.
Behind-stage sections for concerts: Stage and sound face away and views are often curtained off.
Accessibility & companion seating
Lucas Oil Stadium provides ADA wheelchair and companion seating on all levels, sold through the Colts ticket office so staff can match location to need. Elevators, accessible downtown arrival, and accessible restrooms and concessions serve every concourse, with the roof keeping seating protected when closed.
Where: Accessible platforms are located at the rear of the lower bowl, along the club concourse and at the upper-level entrances.
