In December 2004, the Colts and the City of Indianapolis agreed to construct a new stadium for the team. Built at a cost of $720 million, the Colts paid $100 million of the cost with the remaining funding coming from the State of Indiana and the City of Indianapolis through increased taxes on food and beverages. On September 20, 2005 construction began on the stadium, adjacent to the Colts former home, the RCA Dome. In March 2006, Lucas Oil Products bought the naming rights to the stadium for $120 million over 20 years.
