FREE TO THE PUBLIC
The Colts will be hosting a Draft Party at Lucas Oil Stadium on Friday, April 27th, from 6:00-9:00pm. The Colts Draft Party is proudly presented by New Era and sponsored in part by Bud Light. Fans in attendance will partake in a special appearance by the Colts #1 Draft Pick, collect autographs from current and former Colts players, meet the 2012 Colts cheerleaders and enter to win several prizes from the Colts. The 2nd and 3rd rounds of the NFL Draft can be viewed from the field at Lucas Oil Stadium on the large jumbotrons.
During the Colts Draft Party, volunteers from Keep Indianapolis Beautiful will be collecting monetary donations to support a tree planting commemorating the 2012 Draft. Each fan who donates will receive a coupon for an additional 20% off all sale and clearance items at the Colts Pro Shop and will have the opportunity to write a message welcoming the new draft picks to Indianapolis. Some of those messages will be featured on the jumbotrons during the Draft Party. In addition, Colts Owner and CEO Jim Irsay will match fans' donations up to $5,000.
