The game could be played indoors or outdoors depending on the time of season this game gets scheduled. Like University of Phoenix Stadium, Lucas Oil Stadium has a retractable roof.
Now, as a tourist, hope and pray for an early season visit. It will get cold come later in October and into November and December.
You also can’t go wrong with the price of the ticket. It is below the league average, at least it was this past season.
A nice downtown area to walk around in and explore. Be aware it could be a little more difficult to find direct flights if you aren’t a fan of American or Southwest airlines. Even then, your options will be limited.
