'Operational issues' prompt Colts to keep Lucas Oil Stadium roof closed for Week 7 vs Dolphins

The roof at Lucas Oil Stadium will be closed for the Indianapolis Colts vs. Miami Dolphins in Week 7 of the 2024 NFL season. The north end zone window will be open.

Colts owner Jim Irsay noted "operational issues" prevented the roof from opening properly Sunday morning, so the team decided to keep it closed. The roof also could not be opened for the preseason game against Denver.

Sunny skies and a high in the low 70s are forecast for Sunday in Indianapolis.

The Colts are 2-1 at home this season, falling to the Houston Texans under an open roof/window, and defeating the Chicago Bears and Pittsburgh Steelers with both closed.
