The 2006 Colts season is almost a sellout and it's only April.

RCA Dome Seating: 55,506

2006 Season Tickets Sold: 55,000

Reserved Seats for Opponent: 500

That leaves 6 seats for games where the opposing teams use all their seats.

That is unheard of in Indianapolis. For whatever reason, the Colts have always had trouble selling out games until last year. Two years ago, at the start of the season, there was at least one game that came down to the “blackout” wire. They sold out just in time, and that was the season Manning broke the passing record.

If you told me they would be selling out games with season tickets back in the mid 90s when they had moderate success I would have said you were nuts. In those days my friend Jon and I would drive up to the Dome on the day of the game and get tickets for face value or less off of scalpers (which is legal in Indiana.)

So selling out a football season in Indiana, let alone before the draft, is a big deal.]]>
