INDIANAPOLIS - Civic leaders today kicked off the city's bid for the 2012 Super Bowl by unveiling the slogan for the campaign in a ceremony outside of the RCA Dome. Leaders hope that "It Can't Be Worse Than Detroit" will drive across the key points they hope to impress upon NFL executives in their bid to host the Super Bowl.
"I mean, after they had the Super Bowl in Detroit in 2006, I guess they're letting any city with an NFL team and a domed stadium host it," said Indianapolis mayor Greg Ballard. "This slogan serves as an opportunity to remind owners and NFL executives of where they've had past Super Bowls, and the type of precedent that has set. We might not be the biggest city in the world, but hey, we're not Detroit!"
Ballard pointed out the many attractive qualities of Indianapolis and fun activities visitors could take part in while visiting the city for a Super Bowl. They include:
- Using the cold Indiana winter weather as a chance to explore the high quality of the heaters in the city's many hotels.
- Take in a game featuring one of Indiana's star-studded winter sports teams, such as the Indiana Pacers and...the Indiana Pacers.
- Drive 30 minutes to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and see what an empty race track looks like.
- Visit the Indianapolis Zoo and see examples of local wildlife native to Indiana, including the pig, cow, horse, mule and farm dog.
- Go to the Connor Prairie Museum and experience life on a rural farm in the Pioneer days. Or, visit any farm 10 miles or more outside of Indianapolis and see basically the same thing.
- Explore all of the fine dining and nightlife options Indianapolis has to offer. After this, plan your second day in the city.
- Sit quietly in your hotel room, wondering if Fresno would be more exciting.

The only other possible thing you can do in Indiana is go cow tipping. But you gotta get your feet shoulder with apart.
you forgot about black expo downtown. maybe that's only in july
I think the animals at the Indy Zoo are likely smarter than the "big-city hoss" who wrote this blog. Maybe you should check out facts about the things you write about before you take keyboard in hand. Oh wait - that would require actual effort and would eliminate all the material for your puerile attempts at being funny.
