For Pemberton, the fan experience is already a win. “The goal really being that you can manage kind of your game day experience through your mobile device, through that Colts app, have your parking, your ticketing all right there.”
Pemberton says more parking will be available on game days in places including the South Lot and the state government garage. Plus, a new chat assistant, Robo Blue, will answer any questions instantly.
