Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis is one of the country's newest venues, opening just in time for the Colts' 2008 NFL season. This beautiful building, constructed across the street from where its predecessor (the RCA Dome) once sat, holds 63,000 screaming Colts fans (about 62,500 of which seem to be wearing Peyton Manning #18 jerseys) for eight regular-season home games every year.

Notable features of the stadium include a large window at one end (that can be opened to give more of an outdoor feel, as well as provide a scenic view of downtown) and a two-panel retractable roof, which the Colts can decide to open or close up until 90 minutes before kickoff. (That's some serious home-field advantage!)

My first visit to Lucas Oil Stadium was for a preseason game in August 2009. I left impressed, to say the least.
