INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. | Scott County native Emma Carroll and her Ball State dance teammates performed — along with other dance teams from the state of Indiana — at the Indianapolis Colts’ Lucas Oil Stadium during Sunday’s NFL season-opener.
Ball State’s Code Red dance team was invited to perform with the Indianapolis Colts’ cheerleading squad during halftime of the Colts’ game against Baltimore on Sunday. The Ravens won the game, 41-23.
A 2025 graduate of Scott High School, Carroll is a sophomore at Ball State. She trained at Gotta Dance Studio in Oneida prior to receiving a scholarship at Ball State University, which is located in Muncie, Ind.
Sunday’s performance was the second big stage of the early season for the Code Red team, which previously performed at Ohio State’s Ohio Stadium in Columbus, Ohio, during the college football season-opener earlier this month.
Ball State’s home opener was on Saturday, a 41-17 win over Stony Brook.
Ball State’s remaining home games are against Toledo on Oct. 3, Sacramento State on Oct. 24, Buffalo on Nov. 11, and Central Michigan on Nov. 28.
