The Super Bowl is still about a week-and-a-half away, but the home stadium for the Indianapolis Colts is already being transformed for the big game.

A media tour Wednesday showed the huge transformation going on inside Lucas Oil Stadium. Most notably, the signage or in some cases, the lack thereof.

"All the Indianapolis Colts signage is gone and it's been replaced by Super Bowl signage and that's what people coming from all over the world to see when they get here," said Frank Supovitz, NFL Senior Vice President.

The rigging is in place for Madonna's halftime show and construction is underway on the NBC anchor desk. Crews have also added 254 seats in the Horseshoe Pavilion.

"The capacity for the stadium will be announced on game night. Uh, there's about 68,000, it's in that general neighborhood because we also count all of the standing room in the suites, those 254 seats we've added in the north end zone," added Supovitz.

Colts fans may be in for a surprise. Everything Colts related in their locker room will be covered up as the Patriots move in for a few days. That's just like everything else throughout the stadium that's not Super Bowl related or sponsored.
