INDIANAPOLIS (WTHR) - Certain football cities are infamous for not being nice to visiting fans - Oakland, Philadelphia and a few other NFL cities.

Indianapolis is not on that list.

Most Colts fans are known for being classy and considerate, but is our Hoosier hospitality an invitation for visiting fans to act up and act out at Lucas Oil Stadium?



"We've had Patriots fans that have been horribly obnoxious." said Colts Fan Tracy Streit.

"You don't want to stand up and cuss at the other team," Colts fan Jacob Martin said. "You wanna keep it clean."

There are many stories of home fans in other NFL cities threatening, or even attacking visiting fans, but you don't hear about Colts fans doing that.

"I've been to New England," said Colts fan Rob Caplinger. "You get hit with snowballs, spit on and cussed at!

Colts fan Kent Bode said, "I've been to Oakland, I've been to Baltimore, I've been to these places, and I wear Colts stuff. If I'm on the road, I'm going to have a little humble pie."

"Cheer for your team, but you don't start chants, you don't be overly aggressive, ignore everybody else that sits around you," said Colts fa Jon Haynes. "Don't start bad mouthing their team, and the fans around you. That's what causes problems."

Several Colts fans said they're growing tired of visiting fans getting out of hand at Lucas Oil Stadium.

"Don't be rude," Danielle Gilyan said. "There's just no reason to cuss, call people names, especially when you bring little people to the games, and you want them to become fans and enjoy it as well. It's really hard when you've got people really ruining the environment."

Colts fans offered solutions, instead of threats.



"We tell people all the time, we understand that you might have paid to go to that one game, but everyone else around might have paid for an entire season to sit there," Jacob Martin said. "And there's a little bit of that respect factor. We would do that if we went to another team's stadium, we'd ask them to do the same thing when they're here."



The Colts play the Chicago Bears at Lucas Oil Stadium this weekend.

"I don't think the Bears fans here are that obnoxious," said Bears fan Jason Baker.

The NFL implemented a Fan Code of Conduct back in 2008, and that's the same year the Colts introduced a texting system allowing you to report obnoxious or rude fans by texting "INDY" to 78247.
