FanHouse RCA Dome

The RCA Dome was home of the Indianapolis Colts for 24 years. They won a Super Bowl, they ushered in the Peyton Manning era and they even built a snazzy Ring of Honor. Ohh. Ahh. And then today, it went a dynamite-like "BOOM" as the city of Indianapolis imploded it. Awesome video below.



This is the point in time in which it stinks that Manning became a non-choker because otherwise, I'd have a free "Collapsing faster than Peyton" joke. Oh well. RIP RCA.

As some of you may or may not know, the Colts are building a new stadium, finally. The new stadium will be called Lucas Oil Stadium and it will be replacing the RCA Dome. Anyways, I figured I'd give out some links to information about the new stadium that I have run across.

First off, there is a PDF online which has a very detailed sketch of the new Lucas Oil Stadium. Some key features to point out from this would include: the retractable roof, the warehouse style design (seems to fit nicely with the Pacers' Conseco Fieldhouse), the retractable front window, among many other things. Check it out, it's a great site.

Next, we have the live webcam. What new stadium is complete without a live webcam? Here is the latest picture. You can easily tell the progress of the construction from that picture. It seems as if the lower level of concrete is nearly all laid. Still far from completion however.

For more details on the new stadium visit this site and scroll down until you see the Lucas Oil Stadium section. The stadium is set to open for the beginning of the 2008 season.
