According to team owner Jim Irsay, the roof of Lucas Oil Stadium will be closed for the Indianapolis Colts game against the Chicago Bears in Week 3 of the 2024 NFL season.

Irsay noted that the north end zone window will also be closed.

During the preseason, the roof was closed for the opening game against the Denver Broncos, but not because of the weather. Initially, it was reported that the roof was open, but a mechanical problem prevented this.

The problem was a faulty input/output component of the operating system, according to Monica Whitfield Brase, director of public relations and marketing for the Indiana Convention Center and Lucas Oil Stadium. This malfunction caused the system to transmit incorrect information about a problem with the roof, she said.
