Indianapolis is going to make another bid this year to host the 2012 Super Bowl. They lost last year by 2 votes to Dallas because they will seat 30,000 more people in their new stadium than our new stadium (Lucas Oil Field replaces the RCA Dome this year). It sounds like they may compete with New Orleans which could be tough. That's a great city for the Super Bowl.
Our biggest knock is the weather. If they would have been here Monday it was 55 and sunny. Today is 10 and windy (10 below wind chill). We could get up to 6 inches of snow on Friday which will shut the city down. That would be devastating for Super Bowl week.
Indy's great at hosting major sporting events though (Indy 500, Brickyard 400, Final Fours, Solheim Cup, Swimming/Diving/Basketball World Championships). Everything is downtown and convenient. I can only hope!
