Who goes to preseason games, many of them are people who cant afford regular season games, and can find someone willing to sell their or donate tickets for less than face value. The concession stand prices are just as expensive as regular season. Parking is still expensive. Gas is still expensive.

What are their expectations? To see a good game, and see the stars.

Its Irsays team, he can do what he wants. The way this was handled makes me less inclinded to go to a game when I can watch it on tv.

Cmon man tickets to camp are free, if fans can’t afford regular season tickets go to camp and get closer to AR then you would in any game.

I never claimed the charged money for camp. Rose/Hulman charged for parking. If they wanted to see AR last week at camp he wasnt available. He worked away from the team while the majority worked against the bears.

At R/H, you were close to the players at the practice area and when they had a live scrimmage at the R/H stadium you could hear EVERYTHING.

Things change not always for the better. Irsay and family have a good record with the fans. Since Jim took over, he has always put the fans first. The business Taylor and now AR is a departure from how they have communicated with the fans.

Its very odd that the Colts want to keep AR working without the rest of the starting offensive group

Where'd you see this? Here's what the RATS article said about the decision to sit AR in the preseason game:

The Colts ultimately decided to hold starting quarterback Anthony Richardson out of Saturday night’s 24-17 preseason win over the Chicago Bears because the coaching staff believed the rookie quarterback had gotten enough work in two joint practices earlier this week.

Richardson handled more than 70 first-team snaps against the Bears on Wednesday and Thursday.

Because of those snaps, the Bears and Colts decided to hold most of their starters out of the preseason game, and Richardson’s status as a rookie didn’t alter Indianapolis head coach Shane Steichen’s decision.

Also, playing 1-2 series w/ backups and against backups in a preseason game isn't going to be this huge detriment to AR's development that you and Doyel seem to think it is.

Jaff reads what he wants to hear, and not the truth. Why else would he read Doyel's stuff and think it is valid?

I messed that up, my apologies. Where I found it was taken down.

I’ve seen multiple reports that says Colts have to drag AR off the field because he tries to stay and sign every autograph
