WESTFIELD, Ind. (WISH) — It was quite the scene at Colts training camp on Thursday.

Colts head coach Shane Steichen wanted to bring back the Friday night lights feel from high school football.

Lights were brought out to the practice field at Grand Park. The crowd was energetic, creating a game-like feel.

“I kind of wanted to bring back that Friday night feel when you’re in high school playing under the lights,” Steichen said. “That was always a special time for myself and a lot of these guys.”

“Man, it was real fun out there,” Colts defensive tackle Grover Stewart said. “It brought me back to my high school days. Being out there like a Friday night, but it’s a Thursday night. It felt great out there.”

“It’s nice to come out there under the lights,” Colts safety Nick Cross said. “In a week, we’ll be doing it against another opponent. But it was a fun atmosphere. Shoutout to the fans for coming out, and we had a good practice out here.”

The fans got to see quite a show too.

Colts rookie tight end Tyler Warren make a spectacular one-handed catch on a ball thrown over the middle from Daniel Jones.

Jones and Anthony Richardson Sr. went back and forth making great plays at the quarterback position.

“Both have been doing a really good job,” Steichen said. “Both of them have made plays at a high level the last couple days, and that’s what you want to see. You want to see growth. You want to see completions. You want to see the offense moving up and down the field. Both have been doing a really good job.”

After practice, there was a fireworks and drone show. The Colts honored their late owner Jim Irsay, with drones in the sky saying “For Jim.”

The Colts get back on the practice field at Grand Park on Saturday, practicing from 10-11:35 a.m.
