**Colts Encourage Fans to "Go Pink" at Their
October 4 Game

INDIANAPOLIS – While blue is normally the color of
choice at Colts home games; on Sunday, October 4, fans may notice
quite a bit of pink in and around Lucas Oil Stadium. As the Colts
prepare to take on the Seahawks, they are also supporting an
important cause that has affected millions of women nationwide.
