Overview

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.
