    Colts sell out

    The Indianapolis Colts got what they wanted: a rare preseason sellout.

    Saturday night's game at the RCA Dome against the Buffalo Bills is sold out and will be telecast live on WTTV-4.

    It ends a 35-game preseason sellout drought for the team. The last home preseason game to be telecast live in the local market was an Aug. 30, 1986, meeting with the Minnesota Vikings....http://www.indystar.com/articles/5/173656-2355-036.html

    How many people does that dump hold, about 60,000? That's sad.

    Other teams have been doing that. Not right in my opinion but I doubt there is much fans can do about it. Despite normally going to preseason games, I'd not buy opener tickets which were linked to a preseason game and choose to go to another game instead.

    Yea, and one year the only way you could get a Miami ticket was to buy a pack with a Preseason game at full price.

    Nasty.

    Ahh...but I get a discounted price on season tickets
    My seat would cost $41 for a single ticket buyer but averaged out over 10 games, I'm only paying $33 a game

    I just hope I get to see it.
    I didn't come here to fight, I hate fighting. Life is way too short to spend it on fighting! Go fight with yourself, one of you will eventually win!
