Since 1984 the Indianapolis Colts have had some success although falling short of a Super Bowl each time. They have made the playoffs 7 times and twice made it to the AFC Championship Game. QB Peyton Manning has been the major reason for their latest success.ÜManning is on pace to surpass Dan Marino in a handful of statistical QB career records.

The Indianapolis Colts will play their last regular season game ever at the RCA Dome this weekend. And at 1 p.m. on Jan. 13, the team could play its last playoff game in the 57,980-seat stadium (The Colts has a first-round bye and don't yet know their first playoff opponent). The new Lucas Oil Stadium now casts a shadow over the former Hoosier Dome, which opened in 1984. Downtown was languishing before the arena began to rise, and city leaders took a big risk building the stadium without a tenant. Then the Colts agreed to move from Baltimore, providing the catalyst for a major revitalization of downtown.
