Indy Roll Call
A buddy of mine and I waited until after The Game to tell ANYONE, but we bought tix and reserved rooms a week ago. SO glad we did!!
Anyone else making plans? Anyone know any cool places to pre game? Is there tailgating allowed at Lucas Oil? Never been to Indy, only through it...

Plan to go if I can get some tickets reasonably priced. Might be futile at this point.
November 28th, 2021 at 2:36 AM ^
I am going to be cheering my butt off but I have 4 more I bought here. My buddies are wafffling. Let me know if you’re still looking. 400 level
November 28th, 2021 at 2:46 AM ^
If you would like to sell to a Michigan fan, I would definitely buy 4. I have a friend flying up from Dallas to drive with the crew. We have waited a long time for this.

Honestly you’ll prob be able to buy tickets at the window on game day. The stadium was never full when I went the first several years.

Michigan and Iowa travel about as well as any B1G team. Add in the hunger for Michigan fans and proximity to Indy, and I think this will be a pretty hot ticket.
I will be there with Indy Matt!
St. Elmo’s steakhouse is arguably Indy’s most popular high end restaurant. They have a famous shrimp cocktail that you would be obligated to try if you go there.
November 28th, 2021 at 10:04 AM ^
Thanks for the St. Elmo's tip. I was looking for a steakhouse. Is it the best or just the most popular?
November 28th, 2021 at 10:46 AM ^
Both.
November 28th, 2021 at 11:34 AM ^
Thank you sir/ma'am.
November 28th, 2021 at 2:20 AM ^
Bought my tickets and room after Haskins final touchdown. I cannot wait!!!
November 28th, 2021 at 2:20 AM ^
I have no idea what the plan is, but I will 100% be there for the game
November 28th, 2021 at 3:17 AM ^
As a kid who grew up a Michigan fan and is now a student at Iowa, I will not be missing this for the world
November 28th, 2021 at 3:26 AM ^
I’ll be there see you all next Saturday
November 28th, 2021 at 5:14 AM ^
My dad, mom, son, and I will be there. The City Center Mall is walking distance to everything (convention center & LOS). Tons of restaurants and activities all day Friday and Saturday. I’ve not parked in the stadium lots, but tailgating is allowed.
Side note: I would love to see WTKA or mgoblog host an event for fans to drop in on either day. I hope they have something in the works. Go Blue!
November 28th, 2021 at 8:48 AM ^
Excellent info, thanks!
November 28th, 2021 at 6:46 AM ^
Over paid for tix last night but screw it. GO BLUE

In a state of excitement (and alcohol) I booked a couple of non refundable rooms at Marriott Downtown and four tickets. Now I realize that I have a scheduling conflict. If anyone is interested in taking them off my hands, I could transfer them to you.
hotel. 2x king rooms. $500 per night (12/3-5) per room, with the taxes.
tickets. Sec 509 row 1. Bought them on stubhub (can show proof). $1750 for four with the fees.
November 28th, 2021 at 7:46 AM ^
I will take the rooms off your hands. Send me a PM or email me: thruway.hurling-0i at icloud.com
November 28th, 2021 at 1:24 PM ^
can't figure out your email. if interested email me at my handle at mac
November 28th, 2021 at 7:36 AM ^
Staying at Marriott Downtown with the full family. Didn't get great seats but the atmosphere is why we are there...plus a Michigan victory!
November 28th, 2021 at 7:44 AM ^
Does anyone know when the notifications will go out for the requests made through the ticket office?
Hope to be joining you all there. Just need to figure out if I'm going to get them directly before I look secondary.
November 28th, 2021 at 8:23 AM ^
I came here to ask this exact question. I think the answer is today, but can’t find anything in writing. I guess this is a road this ticket office hasn’t yet traveled.
November 28th, 2021 at 10:22 AM ^
Haven’t heard anything yet (did my request on the 17th). I’m assuming (hoping) we hear something today.
November 28th, 2021 at 12:56 PM ^
It would be great if I knew the best place to "F5" on this topic. My email? My AMEX activity? Mgoblue.com?
Should be more transparent than this is...I've got an itinerary to figure out!!!
November 28th, 2021 at 7:47 AM ^
Guy I work with who's a big OSU fan bought 4 tickets a few weeks ago to the big ten championship game. I Told him I'd happily buy them if things didn't work out for him. Got the text right after the game and made by far my favorite transaction ever!
I'm looking into tailgate options now with a few of my friends who are colts season ticket holders and I'll report back. Indy is set up so well. Everything you possibly want within walking distance.. GO BLUE baby.
November 28th, 2021 at 8:06 AM ^
My wife is a Sparty so I have been to the Big Championship a couple times. The city does a great job of hosting. They have team specific bars throughout the city. One year it was one side of the street was MSU the other Wisconsin. Despite it was Sparty being there…I had fun. I’m very much looking forward to returning to Indy but this time to root on the good guys!
Go Blue!
November 28th, 2021 at 8:34 AM ^
I reserved tix on mgoblue.com at about 5pm yesterday so hoping for a response/confirmation today. Reserved a room just north of Indy as well. Let’s go!!!
November 28th, 2021 at 9:55 AM ^
“Reserved tix on mgoblue.com”
Can you tell me more about this? Looked there and didn’t see anything. Have enough priority points that I was expecting an email/ticket offer. Thanks!
November 28th, 2021 at 10:06 AM ^
They sent a ticket request email out on November 17th, with a request deadline of the 27th.
November 28th, 2021 at 8:34 AM ^
Bought 3. Will probably drive down day of game and grab a few beers before the game. Haven’t checked hotels yet and I probably don’t want to!
November 28th, 2021 at 9:55 AM ^
Lucas oil is right on interstate 1-70 check westside Plainfield , Avon ( 15 mins from stadium by the air port) or north side right off i-69 If you wanna walk to your hotel after the game it's gonna cost ya. If you don't mind driving a little those are nice areas to check out
November 28th, 2021 at 9:18 AM ^
I'm flying up from Florida with my son on Thursday, got tickets and hotel last night as well.
November 28th, 2021 at 9:48 AM ^
I will be there.
November 28th, 2021 at 9:58 AM ^
Me and two buddies are headed down. The most reasonable hotel we could find is a hotel 20 miles outside of the city...but looking for recommendations for anything closer at a reasonable price. I'm assuming most anything on VRBO and/or airbnb is booked up by now...
November 28th, 2021 at 9:58 AM ^
I'll be there. Would love to buy a parking pass early and tailgate as the weather is looking good for this time of year. Can we get this stickied before it gets buried?
November 28th, 2021 at 10:07 AM ^
Picking up a family friend on the way and meeting my pops there. Thanks to Jimmy and the boys for giving me the opportunity to share this with them. Couldn't be more excited.
November 28th, 2021 at 10:38 AM ^
Not sure about pregaming but the Slippery Noodle Inn is a live blues bar close to the stadium that turns into a late night rage.
Of course nobody takes the train anymore but the Crowne Plaza is within Union Station and is centrally located.
Then there’s John’s Famous Stew if you’re into, you know, stew.
November 28th, 2021 at 11:09 AM ^
O'Reilly's Irish Bar & Restaurant off Pennsylvania and Maryland ( 15 min walk from stadium) surrounded by many other great bars and restaurants is a Michigan backer bar. Giving us local Michigan fans a great public environment to watch the games throughout the year
It really is a great place and they do a great job. Other bars that we enjoy are tin roof ( next door to O'Reilly's ) Kilroys , slippery Noodle, & howl at the moon.
November 28th, 2021 at 11:20 AM ^
Dad and I decided to go right after yesterday’s domination, but appeared too late to find reasonable pricing. Interested to see if anyone is selling 2
November 28th, 2021 at 12:58 PM ^
Section 604 Row 22N, Seat 14 + Seat 15
Just want to get my money out of the tickets. With taxes and fees I paid $300 per ticket but will sell them to a Wolverine for $260.00 a ticket. Similar tickets on stubhub are listed for $273 - $349 per ticket.
E-mail me at [email protected]
November 28th, 2021 at 11:48 AM ^
My GF and I will be going! Booked a hotel last night and did a ticket request reservation back on the 17th (but still waiting on the notification from that!).
November 28th, 2021 at 12:57 PM ^
In the euphoria of the Wolverine win yesterday I purchased tickets to the Big Ten Championship Game next Saturday. Unfortunately I have a bunch of stuff going on next weekend with kids and work and won't be able to attend.
Looking to sell 2 tickets - Section 604 Row 22N, Seat 14 + Seat 15

I will be there with my son. We are driving a RV in on Friday. My whole family are Buckeye fans so they have been to give me the insights regarding Indy. I guess most of the B1G official parking in in the parking lot of Lucas Oil stadium. They pack everyone in pretty good and most of the tailgating takes place there. Everything is within walking distance of the parking lot in regards to bars/restaurants downtown. They also open up the convention center which I believe is attached to the stadium and have games for the kids (throwing football, kicking field goals, etc) as well as have the bands come and play in that area. From what I have heard, Indy does a great job for this championship game. I can’t wait. Go Blue!
November 28th, 2021 at 11:05 PM ^
I'll be there. Can't miss the first B1G Championship under Harbaugh.
