Indianapolis - Colts fans will now have a chance to get their hands on a coveted Super Bowl XLI ring and help Indiana charities at the same time.
The Indianapolis Colts announced their Quest for the Ring contest Tuesday. Five authentic Super Bowl XLI rings will be given away to fans, and all proceeds generated by the contest will be donated to Indiana charities through the Indianapolis Colts Foundation, Inc. (ICF), a nonprofit organization.
It's the first time authentic Super Bowl rings will be available to fans.
Colts owner Jim Irsay announced the contest during a Blue Tuesday rally on Monument Circle in Indianapolis.
Participants in the contest will have to endure three stages. The final challenge will take place during halftime of the Colts home game on December 2.
Contest details:
To enter Stage One, fans must purchase one or more $5 tickets. Up to 200,000 tickets will be sold from noon (EDT) on Oct. 30, 2007 to noon (EST) on Nov. 20, 2007.
Fans can purchase tickets at the RCA Dome in the box office during normal business hours and in the guest relations kiosks during the Nov. 4 and Nov. 18 Colts home games; at participating Indiana Ticketmaster Ticket Centers; and through the local Ticketmaster Charge-by-Phone service.
The numbers for Indiana are: Anderson/Muncie (765) 644-3131; Bloomington (812) 333-9955; Evansville (812) 423-7222; Ft. Wayne (260) 424-1811; Indianapolis (317) 239-5151; Lafayette (765) 743-5151; South Bend (574) 272-7979; and Terre Haute (812) 234-2424. Tickets cannot be purchased online.
On Nov. 21, 2007, 25 winning numbers and 20 alternates will be randomly selected. Those numbers will be posted on the Colts Web site that evening. Winners who provide proper notification by 5 p.m. (EST) on Nov. 27, 2007 will be deemed Stage One winners and will advance to Stage Two. In the event that proper notification is not received by winning ticket holders, alternate ticket holders will be contacted.
In Stage Two, the 25 Stage One winners-and up to three "helpers" of their choice-will participate in a treasure hunt for Colts-related items around the city of Indianapolis from Nov. 30 - Dec. 1, 2007. The top 10 performers, as determined by the sole discretion of the Ravenchase Adventures LLC judges, will advance to the third and final stage.
During halftime of the Colts home game on Dec. 2, 2007, the 10 Stage Two winners will gather on the field and select one locked box and key to open upon command. Five of the finalists will find an authentic Indianapolis Colts Super Bowl XLI ring inside.

Teams give out rings to a lot of people who don’t play or are not in upper management. If the amount of money is right and for the right cause then I have no issue with it.
The buyer shouldn’t wear it though....
I've got my 2007 Miami Dolphins Superbowl Ring all cued up.
Personally, I think this is a great idea.
