Colts to practice in new stadium August 19, 2008 Source: Indy Star Before the Indianapolis Colts can make Lucas Oil their home, they've got to get the routine down. And that will occur Aug. 19. Along with practicing for the first time in Lucas Oil Stadium - its new 63,000-seat, state-of-the-art facility, the team will go through a "dry run'' with its game-day schedule a week from tomorrow. The practice will be closed to the public. The players will take a bus from the team's West 56th Street complex to the downtown hotel they use the night before a game, then address virtually every issue leading up to a kickoff: how to get from the hotel to the stadium, where the players park, the location of the locker room, the location of the wives' waiting area, etc. Minute details? Sure. But important. The Colts should have enough time to acclimate themselves to playing in a new facility before their Sept. 7 regular-season opener against the Chicago Bears. They entertain Buffalo Aug. 24 and Cincinnati Aug. 28 in their final two preseason games. "We'll have enough time on the field in two preseason games,'' coach Tony Dungy said after this morning's light workout at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. "But some of those (issues) can be the biggest headaches - 'Where was my wife's elevator and all those kind of things.' "Hopefully we can get a lot of that ironed out." Dungy has taken a tour of Lucas Oil Stadium, and came away impressed. "Phenomenal," he said.
