So hosting a Super Bowl makes a city better? I guess when you have nothing else going on, you have to promote one-time events.
lol Ignorance is showing.
Indianapolis is going to have another Super Bowl.
The Media/NFL Owners/Jim Irsay and the Community want another Super Bowl to come back to Indianapolis.
Already calls for another bid for Indy later this decade around 2018 or 2020.
The Super Bowl is a roving event that goes to just about any warm weather city or city with a dome that wants it. Indy fits that criteria, but so does Jacksonville, Detroit, Minneapolis, Atlanta, Houston, Phoenix, New Orleans, Tampa, Miami, San Diego and Dallas - all of which have hosted Super Bowls in the last 15-20 years. Come to think of it, the only domed NFL city NOT to host a Super Bowl is St. Louis. So Indy is hardly unique, no matter how many Hard Rock Cafes or Hooters they stuff into their otherwise lackluster downtown to cater to unimaginative sports fans.

So plz take your trash talk somewhere else.
Not really trash talk considering there was the blatant implication that having a Super Bowl somehow made Indianapolis special vs the other two cities being compared. It doesn't. A single sporting event has very little to do with the entire city as a whole and what it's about. It actually shows just show small Indy really is when its residents are peeing themselves in excitement to talk about it.

You're arguing with a 17-year-old kid who resides in the South Bend area.

Perhaps, but it's very telling on Cincinnati's part that it has allowed cities with fewer assets to kick its ass in terms of developing an attractive metropolitan area.
It's very hard for older cities to remain competitive unless they reinvent themselves by being progressive, planning for the future, add jobs, etc...which is why Columbus and Indy are growing while Cincinnati isn't.
All the historical architecture in the world doesn't mean anything if there's no jobs, the quality of life sucks, etc (not necessarily talking about Cincinnati here), plus most people just aren't city geeks like us in the first place. That is not to say that having an attractive built environment isn't important in a city, but that there are other issues that need to be looked at for the big picture to make sense.
Cincinnati added more jobs last year than Columbus and Cleveland COMBINED. So go spew your BS somewhere else.
How many of those new jobs paid more than $14 per hour?
Not sure. Why don't you look it up and let me know.
