Wake me when they get to the Superbowl.

What it's costing us to keep them in Indy, they'd better get there this time.

Don't mean to rain on your parade, my apologies Kimmers.

I'm happy for them, just been deflated by them and the Cubbies too many times. Just plain gave up.

I'll root for them the rest of the year, I promise.

I love football and I have always been a Colts fan but I am really having trouble with this mayor wanting to fire policemen because there is no money...and how much does this stadium cost?

They started at $500 mil, I think the final total for the complex came in around $900 mil.

When I heard one of the mayors spokesmen claim they couldn't touch the 15 million for the "arts" because that was more important to the community that not laying off officers, I lost the remaining .000015% of the respect I had for Peterson.

The Colts have locked up home field, and will probably bench most of their starters against Seattle. An undefeated season is highly unlikely.

http://www.theindychannel.com/sports/4549511/detail.htmlColts Stadium Cost Tops $1 Billion

POSTED: 10:34 am EST May 31, 2005
UPDATED: 10:57 am EST May 31, 2005

INDIANAPOLIS -- The cost of the new Colts stadium and convention center expansion may have pushed past the $1 billion mark.

The new state authority, which will be in charge of building the project, is holding its first meeting today.


Until now, the projected cost had been pegged at $900 million. But, a $90 million contingency fund was added Tuesday for possible cost overruns.

When you add that to the $12 million Gov. Mitch Daniels has already authorized to lock in low interest rates, the cost goes just over the $1 billion mark.

Tuesday, authority members are looking at the timetable for building the stadium.

Under the law, they must have all agreements in place, including several new taxes in Marion County.

Earlier this month, Gov. Mitch Daniels signed a bill into law that would allow counties to pass a 1 percent food and beverage tax increase to help fund the new stadium. But there's still a lot of sales work to be done.

Marion and the seven surrounding "doughnut" counties must now adopt these taxes by the end of June to make the governor's plan fly.

Daniels has said he will attend council meetings in the eight counties if need be to drum up support.

The next full council meeting in Marion County is June 6. Council members have until the June 30 deadline to vote on the tax increase.

The Stadium Authority Board was formed to deal with the volatile issue of funding for the new Colts stadium and expanded convention center.

Local leaders hope to be able to break ground on a new stadium later this summer.

So many teams in the AFC can take it... Indy, obviously, New England, even Pittsburgh.. Cincinnati looks decent as well. I think my Dolphins' perfect season is safe.

I've heard some of the Dolphin players from that '72 team say that they were even better in '73 even though they lost two regular season games that year.

Rust kills in the post season. I thought Denver was unbeatable in 1996 and then Jacksonville knocked them off.

Alledgedly they had an extremely weak schedule in 72'. The 73' team had the Superbowl Champion schedule.

Statistically they WERE better in '73.

Here's a little known fact... The '72 Dolphins were 16-0 going into the SuperBowl and were UNDERDOGS against the Redskins. Had Garo Yupremian not botched that field goal, they would have won 17-0 (same as their record, 17-0) instead of 17-7.

I believe in '72 they didn't face a single playoff team in the regular season.

Still one of the biggest boneheaded plays in NFL history. NFL films loves to reshow it.
