I love Indianapolis!

It is the perfect city! Indianapolis doesnt feel like its the 12th largest city in America or has a population of 800K+ people. New,Modern-progressive,arts oriented and a major sports city!


Have you ever been to Indianapolis?

Yes, plenty of times. Actually one of my best friends in from Indianapolis, he lives down in Cincinnati. That new stadium you guys built is awesome. Lucas Oil Stadium.

You know Lucas Oil Stadium may close before the end of the year? It's true "The Luke" may close at the end of the year if the concerts,activities and games there dont cover the $45M deficit the stadium is in now.

Are you serious? Where will the Colts play? Did they keep the old stadium? I sure hope so, after being a Bengals fan, I love watching the Colts play.

Also, I heard it was a big controversy with all the tax payers over there in Indy, was that true?

I dont know. I think we will be fine but some people are a little worried because of the way of the economy. There are some big names coming in and lots of activities and games planned till the end of the year.

Yes it was a big issue. "The Luke" costed around $760M. People didnt want to pay for a brand new facility when "The Hoosier Dome" was only about 20yrs old and was still a very nice facility. "The Hoosier Dome" was demolished earlier this year to make way for the renovations at the convention center.

Now that the stadium has been finished everyone has cooled down over the taxes to pay for it.

Must be one of the more expensive NFL stadiums in the country. I really like Paul Brown Stadium in Cincinnati, it has a really futuristic design to it.

As long as they have the events planned then it should be fine, and speaking of convention centers, Indy also has a great one. I also like the canals that run through the one side of downtown, great views of the skyline.

I love the Canal district to!
