Colts are reportedly one of only two NFL teams still waiting for approval for full capacity

INDIANAPOLIS — The Colts continue to work toward hosting capacity crowds at Lucas Oil Stadium this fall, a goal Indianapolis owner Jim Irsay has repeatedly said this offseason that he hopes to realize after the COVID-19 pandemic limited crowds throughout the 2020 season.

Nearly the entire NFL has already been given the go-ahead. According to the Washington Post, the Colts are one of just two NFL teams, along with the Denver Broncos, that has not been approved for full stadium capacity for the 2021 season.

The Colts have been working with the Marion County Public Health Department, a team spokesperson said, and the two sides plan to meet after the Indy 500 is run this weekend with a crowd of roughly 40 percent capacity.
