 Indianapolis Colts tickets to Lucas Oil Stadium for the 2011 NFL season are seats to witness the star-studded Indianapolis Colts roster take another AFC South division title. Basically, as long as Peyton Manning remains standing in the pocket the Colts are the favorites to win the division and remain a threat to go to the Super Bowl. The offensive line added talent in the draft to shore up a shaky unit, which should allow the Colts to build the leads for which the defense was designed to protect. Indianapolis Colts: HistoryIndianapolis Colts tickets have been available since the 1953 when the Colts played in Baltimore and in the AFC East. Not surprisingly, these early teams proved very capable of winning thanks to the play of one Johnny Unitas. Yes, the Colts franchise has an established history of great quarterbacks. The "Golden Arm" joined the Colts in 1956 and played with the franchise for 16 seasons, winning a Super Bowl in 1970, two NFL championships in 1958 and 1959, making the Pro Bowl 10 times, and winning the NFL MVP three times. Basically, the Colts had an early taste of just what a team could do with a great quarterback and never looked back, attempting to continue that magic with Bert Jones (though a neck injury would end his promising career far too soon). In 1984 the Colts moved from Baltimore to Indianapolis. That first decade in the new city yielded a single playoff appearance. The once proud franchise had become a laughing stock in the AFC East. Then, in 1995, Jim Harbaugh arrived after a tiff with the Bears' Mike Ditka. He and sensational running back Marshall Faulk took the Colts to the postseason twice and the Colts new they had to rebuild with a great quarterback and running back with excellent hands out of the backfield. That quarterback would be Peyton Manning. Manning was drafted by the Indianapolis Colts in 1998 with the first pick. He struggled in his first season, but quickly became a general on the football field and led the Colts to a 13-3 record the next season, winning the AFC East. The addition of Edgerrin James that season gave Indianapolis the skilled hands out of the backfield to give Manning a dump off valve once the protection broke down. In the years since Manning's arrival, the Indianapolis Colts have been to the NFL playoffs all but one year and have played in two Super Bowls, winning Super Bowl XLI in 2006 and losing in Super Bowl XLIV.
