Ultimate Colts fans take tailgating to the next level

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - Before every Colts home game, thousands of people pack downtown parking lots to tailgate. But there are some fans that go to the extreme to prove their Colts loyalty.

"You can't beat being a fan of the Colts," said Cathy Huntsinger of Frankton.

When you think of tailgating; grilling out may come to mind but for some Colts fans, tailgating is all about having fun.

"It's awesome, you get to meet a lot of new people," said Huntsinger.

It's not hard to find people eating out, drinking and having fun before a Colts game.

Some people even get in a game of corn hole.

Just before every Colts home game, hundreds of Colts fans pack the NK Hurst Bean parking lot to tailgate.

When you're together this long during the course of the day, you better get along," said Justin Moore of Terre Haute.

"Everybody's excited and enthusiastic about the same thing," said Huntsinger.

Mark Roman travelled from Terre Haute and tailgated in style.

"We like to have a good time so might as well do it right," said Roman.

Roman showed up with his family and friends with a bus.

"We decided to get this bus, fix it up and just have a good time with it," said Roman.

Roman said he had a lot of fun fixing up the bus.

"I would say we've probably got a hundred hours into it, there's a lot of man hours, a lot of love for the Colts," said Roman.

On the outside, the bus is painted Colts Blue.

On the inside there's a functional bar, 6 tables and custom seating.

"There are usually around 18 to 20 of us that travel over on the bus," said Roman.

The bus also has a custom horn.

"It's great. People love it and it's a big fan pleaser so we enjoy that," said Roman.

When the Colts play away, you can sometimes find the bus on the road and these ultimate Colts fans cheering the team on.

“We enjoy having the whole family together and then we bring all of our friends and different people come along and visit with us," said Roman.
