This team spent the offseason before 2015 adding veteran players it felt were good enough to get the Colts to the Super Bowl -- only to end up way short of those goals.Whats goodLucas Oil Stadium is still a favorite of fans, ranking 38th overall (11th in the NFL), and the Colts reasonable ticket prices and winning record mean they always place well in bang for the buck.
