Prediction: Oilers win by 1
Results
Final Score: Oilers 3, Wild 2
I nailed the prediction, even though it wasn’t really a “pregame thought” since we got there late (my fault, wrong time zone). Anyway, it was 0-0 when I made the prediction, so all in all, I will take the win!

Pregame Thoughts
Prediction: Colts win by 3
Results
Final Score: Broncos 25, Colts 13
My Record: 17-11
Like I said in my video, I had no reason on picking this game, the stadium was half empty, fans were bored and if it wasn’t for Brock Osweiler coming in the game, my prediction probably would have been correct. Sorry for not putting more thought into this one guys.

Overall Rating: A-
The stadium has an awesome field when you first enter it. Obviously the Indy 500 is big and Lucas Oil Stadium incubuses that tradition. Its basically a museum of different cars from different races, but in a very non-intrusive way that doesn’t take away from football at all, if anything it adds to it. The location is great too and there is plenty of different options for pre-gaming in close walking distance, parking as well.
There are plenty of concessions with lots of options. It is easy to get around the stadium and there isn’t a bad seat in the place. We got to walk around a lot before the game and there are plenty of other amenities (games, shops, local food, etc.). The Colts also were the first NFL team to start the tradition of all the high school football helmets and honor the high school players of the year.
The only negative were the scoreboards. There were only two smaller screens on each end and they weren’t really showing any stats throughout the game. Also, the middle facing of the upper deck (where the score, time, downs usually are, like in every other stadium) only had the time remaining in the quarter. The other information were on the lower deck by the end zones. If you sit higher up you might have a hard time finding that, kind of odd.
This may go unnoticed in a lot of stadiums, but the staff were really friendly and into the game. That has happened at other stadiums, but it stood out here. Especially on a night where the game was meaningless and kind of boring, the staff was still on point, good customer service. Not sure exactly why it stood out more here, but that’s the key to good customer service, you just have that feeling.
