Apparently, they did




**sigh**

Was a long day yesterday, especially if you're an Indianapolis Colts' fan.

Going to the game was definitely a last minute decision, spurred primarily by the fact that we had a babysitter. Given that rarity, it seemed silly not to go. So, we fired up StubHub, found some good seats, and made it official.

Husband and I would attend the last game ever to be played in the RCA Dome.

It was a gross day - the kind where I'm particularly thankful that Indy is a Dome city. I love football, don't get me wrong. I also love staying dry, warm, and to that end, basically healthy. And with a little creative parking (and a willingness to pay more than $5 for event day parking), one can maneuver from the car to the Dome with only about 1 block of outdoor weather.

It was rather fitting for me that we were playing the San Diego Chargers. The very first Colts' game I'd ever attended was against the Chargers, on October 18, 1992. (We lost that one, too. 34-14)

It was an electric atmosphere. We were confident, as fans, that we would be able to handle the Chargers. Sure, we'd misfired earlier this season when we played them in San Diego. But, we'd learned from our mistakes, and HEY! Marvin Harrison was back! (Too bad Booger and Freeny weren't.....)

All in all, it wasn't a pretty game. There were plenty of errors made on both sides of the ball, and the energy from the 12th man just wasn't enough to make up for the lack of energy from the team itself.

So, to answer you, NFL, regarding "Who Wants it More?"

Apparently, the Chargers did.

Oh, and RCA dome?
