Colts stick to blackout if games not sold out

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - Despite the NFL changing rules on television blackouts, the Indianapolis Colts plan to keep operating the way the team has in terms of blackouts.

Officials from the Colts said the team would blackout local television from games if the team doesn’t sell out its home games.

New NFL rules now allow teams to show games on TV if only 85 percent of tickets for the game are sold.

But the Colts said as a small market team, it’s important for them to have people in the stadium.
