Indianapolis has no redeeming qualities according to you.
I don't think that's true, but it depends on how you look at the term professional. When I think professional, I think major league.
KC Major League Teams:
Royals-MLB
Chiefs-NFL
Sporting KC-MLS
Indy Major League Teams:
Colts-NFL
Pacers-NBA
Fever-WNBA
A lot of people will argue the WNBA isn't actually major league, but even if you think it is, that still means both cities have the same number of major league teams. The Indians and Indy Eleven aren't at the top their respective sports, so they don't really deserve to be part of the conversation.

He said Kansas City had more professional sports teams not major league sports teams. Regardless of what you think, the Indianapolis Indians, Indy Fuel, Indy Eleven and the Indianapolis Impalas are still professional sports teams. If someone plays basketball in the European League are they playing professional basketball. I personally know a few people who made a very comfortable living playing basketball in leagues that by your strict definition are non-professional leagues. Sure they didn't make LeBron James money but still they made several millions of dollars over the course of a career.

To top it off KC doesn't have an answer for the Indy 500. (still the world's largest sporting event held every year). IMS is still the world's largest sporting facility. Arrow Head can't hold 400+ thousand. Also Indy is the only city on the list to also host the Pan American Games. The Pan Am Games were held at IMS for the opening and closing ceremonies. KC has never held a major international sporting event to the level of significance like the Pan Am Games or the Indy500. I would actually rank KC 2nd. Indy 500 hosts racing teams from other countries every year. KC is more domestic in this regard more focused on MBL and NFL.

Shopping (chain) Indianapolis
Boutique Shopping Louisville
Better Homes (new) Nashville (older) Louisville and KC
Better Jobs tie for Nashville and Indy
Lowest Cost of Living Louisville easily
Nightlife Nashville for singles, but for married, KC and Louisville are fun
Food Louisville followed by Nashville blow out KC and Indy
Something to do...I think Louisville is the most family friendly....but all have something to do with major museums, parks, sports, malls, amusement parks, etc. I think this is a four way tie but Louisville being a bit smaller, gets the edge
Lowest Crime rate Louisville
I think Louisville wins this here since you are married, and it is affordable, with emerging, cool, artsy areas, great parks, unique museums, and family friendly cultural events every month (the most festive city listed).
Nashville is by far the best tourist and music city, it is also overrun with rapid growth, sprawl, and massive amounts of tourism which can get in the way of raising a family. Indy is just kind of a bland city. KC is great, but it sort of combines the corporate environment of Indy with some of the boutique flair, eateries, and festivity of Louisville. It is just so isolated out in the plains with no major cities within a 100 mile radius. I love Louisville is 1.5 hours to Cincy and Indy, 60 mins to Lexington, 2.5 hours to Nashville, and less than 5 hours to Chicago or Atlanta if you want big city fun (or a 10 dollar bus ride on megabits).
