Through the Eyes of the Owner - Kalen Irsay
Follow Kalen Irsay as she photographs her recent sponsorship appreciation trip with the Colts to the Bahamas. 200 Colts sponsors traveled together for a weekend getaway to watch the Pittsburgh game in the Bahamas.
This week my gallery is a little bit of a change because I was not actually at the game. Instead I will be giving you a view into our Sponsor Appreciation Trip we organize once a year!
Our sponsorship sales staff and 200 plus sponsorship clients headed out Friday morning to the Bahamas where we spent the weekend spreading Colts fandom throughout Nassau, Bahamas!
I have been heavily involved in our Sponsorship Sales department since I graduated in 2010; therefore, I miss one away game a year and spend the weekend forming even better relationships with our sponsors who are also some of our biggest Colts fans!
We had a warm welcome by all the hotel employees who were all cheering for the Colts by Sunday of course!
We had a welcome reception when we arrived at the hotel.
 It did rain the entire first day we were there but no complaints here!
At our welcome reception we introduced all of our hard working sponsorship sales staff and I addressed our group as we kicked off the weekend!
Everyone was sporting Chuckstrong bracelets the entire trip as well.
It's always fun to watch when water balloons are involved!
We had our annual beach games where prizes were given away to the winning teams!
There was a lot of local culture incorporated at our hotel which was really neat to see.
Ready for game day!
We had a pretty competitive group this year!
Game day arrived and everyone made sure to sport Colts gear all day before heading inside to watch the game.
It wouldn't be beach games without a little beach volleyball! Luckily no one had to be put on IR.
The sun was out the next day and everyone sported their Colts gear on the beach!
We finished off the night with some group karaoke to pump everyone up for game day the next day!
Sponsors from Coca Cola heading through our tunnel into our viewing party!
Our trusty sponsorship sales staff, hands down best in the NFL!
More good luck high fives from our friends at Farm Bureau!

This is a split screen photo as my sister Carlie Irsay-Gordon and I shared and compared our game day views on Sunday.
This was a very challenging loss to watch but our crowd continued to keep the faith until the end of the game, in true Colts Nation fashion.

This conch shell fired up our crowd when we needed it.
Loved the Colt spirit, everyone was ready to go!
 Loved these home made Colts themed shoes!
Although it was an extremely difficult game to watch and there were a lot of ups and downs, there were still some celebratory moments!
Celebrating a T.Y. touchdown pass!
As the play clock hit zero, all of our sponsors still gave their Colts a huge round of applause and promised to keep the faith as we all turn our focus to our next game in New York against the Giants. We WILL bounce back from this loss! BELIEVE! COLTSTRONG!
