2026 Charity

Indy Blue Crew Tailgate Pop Tab Collection – 2026

The Indy Blue Crew—one of Indianapolis’ most passionate and long-standing Colts fan clubs—has always been about more than football. Built on community, camaraderie, and giving back, the Blue Crew tailgate is a cornerstone of gameday tradition, bringing fans together in a welcoming, high-energy environment outside Lucas Oil Stadium.

For the 2026 season, the Indy Blue Crew is proud to support Ronald McDonald House Charities through a pop tab collection initiative held at our tailgate lots.

How it works:

  • Designated collection buckets will be placed throughout the Blue Crew tailgate areas at each home game.
  • Locations will be clearly communicated in advance so fans can easily find and contribute.
  • Fans are encouraged to bring aluminum can tabs from home or save them during the game day festivities.

This initiative gives every fan the opportunity to turn small, everyday items into meaningful support for families in need. By participating, Blue Crew members and guests can make a direct impact while continuing the tradition of community-driven tailgating that defines Colts gameday.

Together, we’re proving that even the smallest acts—like saving a pop tab—can make a big difference.

To the new people signing up, the arrival time is early but it’s important to be on time. The streets will close and if you are late, you will not be able to get through to the parking area. Our spot allowed us to be cleaned up and out by 9:30AM last year. Feel free to recruit your family and friends so we can make this a successful event! Participants must be 16 and older. 

You will receive detailed information about your shift from your group's Pit Station Leader, Debby, as we are getting closer to the event. 


Any questions, please reach out to Debby.Harvey@IndyBlueCrew.com

Your Indy Blue Crew Directors
