Colts fans getting ready for Saturday's 'win-and-you're-in' game

Downtown Indianapolis is gearing up for a packed weekend of sports.

INDIANAPOLIS — As the Colts are getting ready to take on the Houston Texans Saturday, fans all around Indianapolis will be packing downtown.

Loughmiller's Pub & Eatery will open before the game starts, and expect every table to be full during the game.

"It's pretty exciting, there's a little bit of a buzz, I get goosebumps just thinking about it," bar manager Scott Bennett said.

While the pub is open for every home game, they never expected to watch the team try and make the playoffs.

"At the beginning of the year, who would have thought our Indianapolis Colts would be playing for the playoffs," server Courtney Brooks said.

The pub expects a few Texans fans to stop by and with an Indiana Pacers game going on Saturday as well, servers are ready for a full restaurant.

"Downtown will be jam-packed and that is it's bringing our community together," Brooks said.

But closer to the stadium, the tents for Touchdown Town have been set up.

"Everybody's going to be here, we just need to bring the team together and show them our support," Indy Blue Crew secretary Debby Harvey said.

The crew has been out for every home game, but they say this one is the most important. As fans will watch in person, from a bar downtown, or at home, the crew wants everyone to get out and show their support.

"Be loud, be proud and cheer our guys on," Harvey said. "Win or lose we've got a lot to look forward to as a Colts fan."

Touchdown Town will open at 5 p.m. with the Blue Crew coming out earlier.
