The Colts are having training camp in a new place this year, Westfield’s Grand Park. And so far, fans seem to like the new location a lot.

The Colts are having training camp at Grand Park, which is Westfield’s relatively new state of the art sports complex. They have signed a ten year deal with the city to keep the Colts coming back. And so far, fans are enjoying this experience much more than the other locations.

Everyone that I have talked who has gone to camp in the past say that this is a much better location. It is more centrally located, it has better parking options, and the facility is state of the art. If the fans can access the location easier, crowds are larger.

Fans seem to like the relatively easy drive for the new location as well. People I have talked to say it’s a very easy drive up or down 31 to get to the complex. It allows more fans to come to training camp and watch the team.

There are also a bunch of fun activities set out for kids. They have different training camp drills they can do, as well as plenty of food and beverages. Grand Park is truly set up for a great day for the entire family, and people are taking advantage of that.

I will be heading to Colts training camp on Sunday evening for their practice. I’m very eager to see for myself just how great the setup is. And of course to watch the team practice in person and to have analysis prepared for my observations.

Early returns on Grand Park are in fact grand. And that’s good news for the team and its fans.
