Thunderstorms Smack Lucas Oil Stadium

Wednesday July 9, 2008

As more damaging rainstorms swept through the state last night, drains on the roof of the still under construction Lucas Oil Stadium failed, and water flooded into the interior of the building.

Officials and construction managers have assessed the damage and reported it to be moderate, and that it will possibly take several weeks to repair. The damage is not significant enough, however, to be a threat to delay the first time the stadium is scheduled to be used, during the Indianapolis Colts' first preseason game at home against the Buffalo Bills on August 24.

Damage included water leaking into several electrical rooms, as well as the flooding of several meeting rooms. The Indianapolis Star has a report from today's press conference regarding the damage.
