buckeyemike Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 Link to Indy Star article. Why Indianapolis? They do have experience with pulling off big events with thousands of people in town: 1) Indianapolis 500 every May. 2) Brickyard 400 every August. 3) Final Four every five years. 4) Women's Final Four every five years beginning in 2011. 5) One new world-class football stadium. This is really a coup for a Midwestern city still considered as boring by many in the national media. But, as David Letterman joked in a top 10 list for why Indy should get the Super Bowl: My mom would throw one kick-ass tailgate party. :lol:
KD in CA Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 I've been to Indy for the US Grand Prix 3 times and it's a pretty good city for a large event, but I'm not so sure it would be the same story in January.
Dr. Fong Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 I'm glad to see them spreading their wings and having the Super Bowl in some different locations instead of the usual suspects.
The Rev.Mattb74 ESQ. Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 I often wondered why Buffalo didnt build a top notch track next to the waterfront. We have a big nascar following, even though we wouldnt get Nextel right away we could get a Busch race and have no problem filling it up with other races the rest of the year. The Glenn always has events and thats a road track, imagine if we put a super speedway by the Falls, add to the excitement it could have a skyway turn three.
thebug Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 I don't like it when they decide the super bowl winner this far ahead.....why watch now
MattyT Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 Maybe the Bills will get to host the big game someday....in Toronto.
LabattBlue Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 We have a big nascar following, even though we wouldnt get Nextel right away we could get a Busch race and have no problem filling it up with other races the rest of the year. Based on what? The 500 people that show up at Holland or Lancaster Speedway?
Sisyphean Bills Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 Too bad there is only 3 more years of football.
PromoTheRobot Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 Maybe the Bills will get to host the big game someday....in Toronto. You better believe if/when Rogers tries to build a new stadium, a Super Bowl bid will be in the plans. Frankly Toronto would make an awesome SB venue. PTR
