Lucas Oil Stadium
Lucas Oil Stadium Overview Lucas Oil Stadium is a fully accessible facility. All entrances into the stadium are accessible. Guests may use ramps, elevators and escalators to move between all levels. Accommodations for persons with disabilities include family restrooms, accessible ticket and concession counters, first-come, first-serve designated parking, assistive listening devices and wheelchair availability. In the RCA Dome, wheelchair-accessible seating was cordoned off in separate sections that required a separate entrance to access.
But the
new stadium allows fans in wheelchairs to sit in nearly every section. Please continue reviewing this document for a full array of accommodations and amenities for people with disabilities.
Loading & Unloading Points Guests may be dropped off and/or picked up on the southwest corner pull-through location off of Missouri Street, or on the northeast side of the stadium, on Capitol Avenue by the Colts Pro Shop.

All guests are encouraged to arrive early in an attempt to secure parking that most accommodates their needs.

New stadium to have improved disabled parking August 1, 2008 Fans with disabilities should find ample handicapped parking spots near Lucas Oil Stadium when it opens. Parking marked for use by the disabled will be set up close to the stadium's four main gates. "There is going to be some parking on the south side, on the north side, kind of all around," said Greg Fehribach, a stadium consultant. He is making sure the facility complies with the Americans With Disabilities Act, which sets requirements for handicapped accessibility in buildings used by the public. Handicapped parking arrangements at Lucas Oil should be more convenient for users than they were at the RCA Dome, where there was only an official lot for the disabled, Fehribach said. That lot was just south of the dome, reachable by a ramp running under elevated railroad tracks. Lucas Oil is adjacent to a large parking lot with about 1,000 spaces. Plans call for that lot to contain one handicapped spot for every 25 spaces, Fehribach said. Because parking spots around the stadium aren't yet laid out and marked in paint, Fehribach said he doesn't know the exact number of handicapped parking spaces that will be set aside. "We're still trying to run the math on that," said Fehribach, who is working with the Indianapolis Colts, the Indianapolis Capital Improvement Board and the Indiana Stadium & Convention Building Authority on issues dealing with handicapped accessibility. Fehribach said fans with state-issued license plates or hang tags identifying them as disabled will be eligible to park in the special parking spots. He said the Colts, along with state and city officials who are building and operating the stadium, have been open to dealing with issues involving the disabled. "I'm thrilled with everybody's participation and continued diligence," he said.
