Indianapolis, IN
Peyton Manning back at Lucas Oil Stadium for Tennessee basketball
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The crowd roared before the first game of the night at Lucas Oil Stadium.
Not for Tennessee or Kentucky though, the two teams squaring off in the Sweet 16 in Indianapolis. Rather, it was for Colts legend, Peyton Manning.
Manning was back in the building where he played for the Colts to support his alma mater, the Tennessee Volunteers.
He was shown on the video board between the game, and got a loud applause.
Manning was back in Indianapolis in February for “Night of Champions: 2006 Indianapolis Colts,” an event in which him and other stars from the Colts Super Bowl winning team shared stories from their championship year.
He had nothing but great things to say about the Circle City.
“I love coming back here,” Manning said. “Great memories here. Great friends and relationships. Indianapolis will always be a part of my life.”
Manning played 13 seasons with the Colts, winning Super Bowl XLI and making it to Super Bowl XLIV. He won four MVPs playing with the Colts.
