The brand new, state-of-the-art Lucas Oil Stadium is located in downtown Indianapolis, Indiana on South Senate Avenue, only blocks from the RCA Dome, the Colts previous home stadium and former Final Four venue.

The stadium will feature two Daktronics high-definition scoreboards at northwest and southeast corners. Each scoreboard is 53 feet tall and 97 feet wide, meaning the fans won't miss any of the action.
The mechanized roof and the moveable window wall allow for Lucas Oil Stadium to host both indoor and outdoor games while allowing a great deal of ambient sunlight in. Other modern amenities include over 100 luxury suites and concessions areas that will cater to almost every taste.
