Mayor to Colts’ fans: Come out in force for Monday events
Indianapolis – Mayor Bart Peterson is calling on Colts’ fans to come out in force on Monday to support the team as the city kicks off “Super Blue week” in Indianapolis.
Two events are scheduled Monday to stoke the fan frenzy:
CBS The Early Show Pep Rally. CBS’s The Early Show’s Dave Price will broadcast live from Indianapolis Monday morning starting at 6:30 a.m. The nationally-televised show will break in periodically from the RCA Dome’s 12th Man Alley, directly south of the Dome. Fans are invited to join Price, Mayor Peterson, Blue Crew members and others. Fans can park in Lot 3 behind the Dome free until 9 a.m.
All City Rally & Kick off Super Blue Week. The city and the Colts will kick off “Super Blue Week” in Indianapolis on “Super Blue Monday” on Monument Circle, Monday, January 29 at noon. The event will be hosted by Q-95’s Bob and Tom, and feature Mayor Bart Peterson, Governor Mitch Daniels and representatives of the Colts. The event will officially send the Colts off to the Super Bowl and kick-off week-long events to celebrate the Colts and their playoff run.
“The Colts historic trip to the Super Bowl provides us with a tremendous opportunity to show off our great city and its world-class fans,” Mayor Peterson said. “I encourage fans from near and far come out in force on Monday and show the world just how crazy we are for the Colts. I want to see a sea of blue at Monday’s rallies.”
Indianapolis fans. The Mayor is encouraging Indianapolis residents and employees to wear Colts’ colors, shirts and jerseys; fly Colts flags and banners in their homes and offices; and hold Colts parties and get-togethers to watch Super Bowl XLI with fellow fans.
Local businesses. Local businesses are encouraged to support the Colts by allowing employees to wear Colts’ colors throughout the week, hanging Colts’ posters and banners in storefronts, spelling out “Go Colts” on their outdoor signs and flying Colts flags and banners.
