I recently learned from sources on the ground that Indianapolis, Ind., at least for the week, has adopted this phrase. Indianapolis is hosting the Super Bowl this year, and the powers that be apparently want visitors to the city to experience the Super Bowl in every day interactions. I, admittedly, upon learning that Indianapolis nabbed a Super Bowl, wondered how did that happen? Sure, the city has hosted the Indy 500 and the Indiana State Fair for years, but a Super Bowl? I guess it is still hard for me to think of Indianapolis as all grown up with its own professional football team.
As some readers may know, the Baltimore Colts crept out-of-town in 1984 to relocate to Indianapolis. Just think of the sparks that might have ignited if the new Baltimore team, the Ravens, were playing in the stadium where the Indianapolis Colts now play? Now that would have been interesting!
