1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.506
NEW INDIANAPOLIS COLTS
QUARTERBACK PHILIP RIVERS IS IN
TOWN FOR TRAINING CAMP, BUT HOW
MANY FANS WILL GET TO WATCH HIM

2
00:00:06.506 --> 00:00:17.517
WORK IN THE STANDS INSIDE LUCAS
OIL STADIUM THIS SEASON?
AS OF RIGHT NOW, NOT MANY. THE
COLTS ARE LIMITING SEATING

3
00:00:17.517 --> 00:00:24.290
CAPACITY TO 25% FOR THE SEASON.
PER GAME.
THAT AMOUNTS TO ABOUT 15,000
FANS PER GAME AND MEANS DOWNTOWN

4
00:00:24.290 --> 00:00:28.928
BUSINESSES WILL BE LOSING OUT ON
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF
DOLLARS.
A RECENT ECONOMIC IMPACT STUDY

5
00:00:28.928 --> 00:00:37.237
SHOWED THOSE SUNDAY GAMES ADD UP
TO MORE THAN $150 MILLION IN
TOTAL REVENUE FOR HOTELS,
RESTAURANTS,

6
00:00:37.237 --> 00:00:43.910
BARS AND OTHER DOWNTOWN
BUSINESSES.
BILL BENNER HAS MORE AS WE GO
INSIDE INDIANA SPORTS... BILL?

7
00:00:43.910 --> 00:00:56.089
OVER TO YOU.
>> GERRY, THANKS.
INDEED THE COLTS
IN PARTICULAR AND THE NATIONAL

8
00:00:56.089 --> 00:00:59.459
FOOTBALL LEAGUE IN GENERAL ARE
MAJOR DRIVERS OF ECONOMIC
ACTIVITY. BUT AS PLAYERS SUCH AS
PHILIP RIVERS RETURN TO TRAINING

9
00:00:59.459 --> 00:01:01.761
CAMPS NATIONWIDE UNDER MODIFIED
AND STAGGERED CONDITIONS,
PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL - LIKE
VIRTUALLY EVERYTHING ELSE IN

10
00:01:01.761 --> 00:01:04.264
THIS PANDEMIC ENVIRONMENT - WILL
TAKE ON A MUCH DIFFERENT LOOK.
AND JOINING US TODAY TO OFFER
THE COLTS' PERSPECTIVE ON OUR

11
00:01:04.264 --> 00:01:10.236
NEW WORLD IS THE FRANCHISE'S
VICE PRESIDENT OF
COMMUNICATIONS, STEVE CAMPBELL.
STEVE, WELCOME •

12
00:01:10.236 --> 00:01:21.147
BACK TO THE PROGRAM AND INDEED
INTERESTING TIMES.
BUT IN SOME SIM BAL SOME SEMBLAE
OF NORMALCY, TRAINING CAMP HAS

13
00:01:21.147 --> 00:01:30.023
OPENED.
BUT OUT AT WEST 56th STREET
HOW FAR IS IT GOING SO FAR?
>> SO FAR SO GOOD.

14
00:01:30.023 --> 00:01:37.897
FIRST I WANTS TO SAY TO OUR
FRIENDS IN WESTFIELD AND GRAND
PARK MOWMP WE'RE GOING TO MISS
THEM UP THERE.

15
00:01:37.897 --> 00:01:45.238
TRAINING CAMP IS A WONDERFUL
EXPERIENCE, THEY DO A WONDERFUL
JOB AND OUR FANS ARE ABLE TO BE
PART OF IT.

16
00:01:45.238 --> 00:01:52.545
WE'RE JUST SICK THAT WE'RE NOT
ABLE TO BE UP AT GRAND PARK THIS
YEAR, BUT WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD
TO RETURNING NEXT FAR.

17
00:01:52.545 --> 00:01:57.984
SO FAR, THINGS ARE MOVING ALONG
SMOOTHLY.
IT'S OBVIOUSLY A DIFFERENT
WORLD.

18
00:01:57.984 --> 00:02:10.597
TRAINING CAMP IS GOING TO LOOK
AA LOT DIFFERENT THAN IT HAS.
BUT WE'VE GOT READY TO GO.
>> STEVE TALK ABOUT SOME OF

19
00:02:10.597 --> 00:02:18.905
THE -- AGAIN I MENTIONED THE
MODIFIED STAGGERED
CIRCUMSTANCES, AND SO AGAIN THIS
IS A TRAINING CAMP UNLIKE ANY

20
00:02:18.905 --> 00:02:23.610
OTHER, NOT JUST AROUND
INDIANAPOLIS BUT AROUND THE
NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE.
TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE THINGS

21
00:02:23.610 --> 00:02:33.553
THAT ARE TAKING PLACE ACTUALLY
BEFORE WE GET TO FULL PRACTICES
SOMETIME IN MID AUGUST.
>> THIS IS GOING TO BE MUCH MORE

22
00:02:33.553 --> 00:02:42.629
OF A GRADUAL BUILDUP THAN YOU'VE
SEEN TRAINING CAMPS IN THE PAST.
USUALLY ON DAY 1 THEY GET GOING,
THEY GET AFTER IT.

23
00:02:42.629 --> 00:02:49.869
BUT OBVIOUSLY SINCE WE MISSED A
LOT OF OUR OFF SEASON TRAINING
OPPORTUNITIES THIS IS GOING TO
BE MORE OF A GRADUAL BUILDUP

24
00:02:49.869 --> 00:02:57.644
INTO GAME ACTION.
AND WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.
YOU KNOW I MEAN FOOTBALL IS A
TOUGH SPORT, A PHYSICAL SPORT,

25
00:02:57.644 --> 00:03:03.516
YOU NEED TO GET OUT THERE, YOU
NEED TO PRACTICE.
BUT IN THIS ENVIRONMENT, THIS
CLIMATE, WE HAVE TO DO IT IN THE

26
00:03:03.516 --> 00:03:12.325
RIGHT WAY.
SO THAT'S WHAT EVERYONE'S
FOCUSED ON ON 56th STREET NOW.
>> STEVE ONCE WE GET THROUGH

27
00:03:12.325 --> 00:03:20.934
TRAINING CAMP NO PRESEASON
GAMES, A BIG CHANGE TO PREVIOUS
YEARS AGAIN.
BUT ONCE WE GET THROUGH TRAINING

28
00:03:20.934 --> 00:03:28.741
CAMP AROUND GET TO THE START OF
THE SEASON AT JACKSONVILLE,
SEPTEMBER 13th AND HOME GAMES
WITH MINNESOTA AND THE JETS ON

29
00:03:28.741 --> 00:03:36.983
AT 20th AND THE 27th.
YOU'VE A ANNOUNCED REDUCED
CAPACITY, 25%.
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE OTHER

30
00:03:36.983 --> 00:03:45.758
PRECAUTIONS THAT WILL TAKE PLACE
DURING THAT WHEN WE FINALLY GET
THE FOOTBALL AT LUCAS OIL?
>> LIKE WITH EVERYONE ELSE,

31
00:03:45.758 --> 00:03:53.066
EVERYTHING STARTS WITH HEALTH
AND SAFETY OF OUR FANS, OF OUR
PLAYERS, OF OUR STAFF SO THAT'S
ALWAYS GOING TO BE OUR TOP

32
00:03:53.066 --> 00:04:00.406
PRIORITY.
SO IN ADDITION TO THE LIMITED
CAPACITY, 25% OF THE STADIUM
FILLED, WE'RE OBVIOUSLY GOING TO

33
00:04:00.406 --> 00:04:09.582
FOLLOW THE GOVERNOR'S LEAD, AND
REQUIRE MASKS, AT THE LUCAS OIL
STADIUM.
SO WE'RE GOING TO PUMP OUT THE

34
00:04:09.582 --> 00:04:23.596
GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE OF MASK-UP.
SOCIAL DISTANCING WILL BE IN
EFFECT FOR FOOD, TRANSACTIONS,
WE'RE PUTTING, A LOT OF THE

35
00:04:23.596 --> 00:04:33.806
THINGS YOU'RE SEEING GOING ON
THE COUNTRY AND THE REST OF THE
CURRENT AND THE REST -- COUNTRY
AND THE REST OF THE WORLD, WE'LL

36
00:04:33.806 --> 00:04:42.115
DEFINITELY PUT IN PLACE AT LUCAS
STADIUM FOR OUR FIRST HOME GAME.
>> WE'VE GOT ABOUT A MINUTE
LEFT.

37
00:04:42.115 --> 00:04:49.555
THERE WILL BE OPPORTUNITIES FOR
FANS TO STILL KIND OF EXPERIENCE
TRAINING CAMP THROUGH SOME
VIRTUAL ACTIVITIES TOO.

38
00:04:49.555 --> 00:05:02.135
TALK ABOUT THAT A LITTLE BIT.
>> WELL, TRUE, SINCE WE CAN'T
HAVE FANS, AGAIN, THAT MAKES
SENSE, I FEEL REALLY BAD ABOUT

39
00:05:02.135 --> 00:05:09.342
THE FAN EXPERIENCE THIS YEAR.
BUT, YOU KNOW, WE'LL HAVE TO
ADJUST AND THERE ARE LOTS OF
DIFFERENT VIRTUAL WAYS THAT

40
00:05:09.342 --> 00:05:16.916
PEOPLE CAN GET INVOLVED WITH
TRAINING CAMP.
GO TO OCOLTS.COM AND THERE ARE
LOT OF DIFFERENT OPPORTUNITIES

41
00:05:16.916 --> 00:05:24.691
TO WRITE TO LETTERS, PLAYERS,
NOMINATE HEROES IN THE COMMUNITY
FOR SPECIAL RECOGNITION BY THE
COLTS.

42
00:05:24.691 --> 00:05:33.933
AND COLTS ARE GOING TO BE GIVING
A LOT OF VIDEO BEHIND THE
SCENES, ACCESS.
ENVIRONMENT NOW WE'RE GOING TO

43
00:05:33.933 --> 00:05:44.444
DO THE BEST WE CAN.
>> WELL, STEVE WE APPRECIATE YOU
COMING ON THE SHOW.

00:07:41.928 --> 00:07:50.369
1990, AND BURNED DOWN.
