📍Lucas Oil Stadium, Indianapolis Indianapolis Colts vs Arizona Cardinals ✔️I've been hooked on American football since I started watching the NFL last year, and I never thought I'd get to see a game live in the US...✌ I hastily booked my ticket after checking the game schedule and rushed to Indianapolis. On game days, the whole city was in a festive mood, and you could tell how much money went into the stadium just by looking at it. Even if you're not interested in American football, it's worth going at least once just to soak in the atmosphere of an NFL game.👍 ✅You can book NFL tickets on the Ticketmaster website. For first-timers, I recommend the upper levels where you can get a full view of the stadium's atmosphere and the flow of the game.
