I_C_Weener:

That said, I hope that any who come enjoy the Third Largest Sporting Event in Indianapolis this year.

we will, thanks!

subby, "jerks"? what is with the hatred?

Didneyland!

For the love of god almighty shoot, stab or strangle Chris Berman so as to never allow him to utter another word.

Ruin on the field during the halftime show and try to dry hump Madonna. You will be her Lucky Star.

I've been down there all week (live 5 blocks from Lucas Oil), and it's been great. I really think we've been a pretty good host city, and kept people plenty entertained.

Colts fans have been out in force, but all the NYGiants and Pats fans are treated pretty well. I've been giving out directions, handing out free beers and letting folks use my restroom when the line for the bars start to get long. The concerts are setup to rotate between the two stages so there isn't a gap of no music, and the bar lines got a bit long early in the week so they setup makeshift bars right on the sidewalks.

This town is nuts right now. Next weekend is going to make me a little sad with so many less people.

I've fertilized the plants outside of Slippery Noodle during a GenCon trip before :)

So it goes.

So wait, the first place they recommend is the shiatty local steakhouse with the overhyped shrimp cocktail and the second place they send you is the bar of a steakhouse chain? Do yourself a favor, stay home and get gout there instead.

Wear a silly outfit, scream gibberish until my lungs give out, drink beer, eat junk food, an just try to have a good time.

And I don't even like football.

That's pretty damn cool!
Sounds like a great time.

As a native New Engalnder, this practice you're partaking in, of being friendly to strangers, frightens and scares me.
How do you do it? ;)

NewportBarGuy: Two hookers at the same time.

The article never mentioned where all the white women were at.

//BJ's for Ron Paul

Go pick up your tickets at noon, head up to the old office on the 48th floor, watch ESPN, eat at Miguel's Southern Kitchen (130 N Delaware), drink and head to the game.

Sell the tickets, stay home and watch porn.
fark football.

You couldn't get me to go to that snooze fest if you gave me free tickets.

And that boring coont Madonna. They must be trying to put people to sleep.

You must be fun at parties.

Ugh..my friend is a ticket broker and has on field passes. I could've gone but had to work, as usual.

Plus, I'm a Jet fan and not sure I even wanna watch these 2 godforsaken pissant teams

Lucky as opposed to watching it in the comfort of my own home? Not having to deal with the weather, transportation, hotel, crowds or the expense means I am unlucky?

I came out to Indy the parties, but get the privilege of flying home to watch the game...

Suckers! $600 minimum for a ticket, when you can get invited to a party for free. Everyone chips in, brings food and drink, usually more than anyone can eat, and only a couple of miles from home. HD TV is better than being there. Suckers!

well if you're in one the $520,000 luxury suites, probably spitting on the 99% of the people below you.

What's a superbowl?

The parking lot closest to Lucas is charging $495 to park.

Blatant advertising "article" is blatant.

sell the tickets and do something else entirely? i may watch the game on tv, but come on, no way i would go to the game if i could alternatively sell my tickets and keep the money (or use it for something else, like a trip to south america)

What to do? Perhaps try not to think about all the money you wasted for a game that everyone will say that the advertisements were the best part of the next day.

Off the plane head to St Elmo's ? On Craigslist, restaurant reservations are selling in the hundreds.

I've been told Broad Ripple is dead because everyone is downtown.

/Rathskeller bar = numero uno

If someone gave me two tickets, there's no way in hell I would sell them. On the other hand there's no way in hell I would pay the going rate for two tickets.

Check out the Slippery Noodle -- once a bordello and now a popular blues club, located at 372 S. Meredian St. Lots of live music planned through Super Bowl weekend.

I don't need to know where the bordello's USED to be.

It's bad enough that I'm going to the stupid parties to watch the game on the TV set. God forbid I'd have to actually go to the ridiculous affair itself.
/unless of course the hometown lads were playin'- then I'm fine either way; but would still prefer the house party. seriously.

In other news, you won't be able to actually go to any of the locations or venues cited in the article, as they will now be full of chuckleheads.

What they should've published is an article entitled, "What The Locals Can No Longer Do In Indy During The Super Bowl." That would've saved more time and would've been more interesting.

Hockey, soccer, and baseball are all better in person, but NFL games seemed to be going downhill throughout the 90's. I can't imagine going to one today. Not for the prices they charge, anyway.

Takes a special kind of moron to pay money to go see a pro football game, where they aren't afforded the luxury of all the slow-motion replays of every play that happens, they have to fight throngs of people just to find a place to urinate, they pay $8.50 for a bottle of Miller Lite, etc.

Snappy answers to a stupid question. Okay, maybe not that stupid.

1) Indiana wishes to become the Nation's Doormat, throwing herself after a bunch of guys who will use her then go back to their wives on a coast. We hope that what worked for Callista Gingrich works for us.

2) We are complete and utter bastards to each other, and it gets tiresome. Look at our state's recent legislation, for FSM sake. You're the only people around with whom we don't have grudges going back to Bacon's Rebellion or the Great Strike of 1919. So, we become like the locals in North Buttfarkistan who offer you tea, bread and eligible daughters, secretly hoping you don't ask why such tiny villages have such large cemeteries.

3) We've started a cargo cult. The traditional cargo cults build airstrips and watchtowers from trees and vines; we build stadiums. Unlike older cargo cults, ours seems to be working and just how should we be treating our Benefactors?

4) Seriously, we don't think we're that nice to each other and we are truly amazed when people from Outside find delight in what we take for granted. (That dairy farm on SR 14 and I-65 comes to mind.) So, if you're in New York during tourist season and the Hoosier tourists flood in, standing on the left side of the escalator and asking how you get to unravel the spaghetti you call a subway system, come over to Indiana to get away from our tourists.

Almost forgot:

5) We're gouging the hell out of you, so we might as well smile as we relieve you of your disposable income. Our sales tax is among the nation's highest, parking is ten to fifty times the normal price and hotel rates have been adjusted upward -- even 60 miles out!

Luckily I am one of the fortunate people who realized some time ago that the Numb Fwkin Losers were the one of the biggest groups of posers. Sports takes more money from schools at ever level and the stupidbowl is just the cherry on top of the keep america fwkin shtupit sundae.

Considering people are killing each other in many places over a ball~~~hope for a better world is as big of a joke as the NFL and its fans.

Very well.

Head to the War Memorial, and go west two blocks on Market. It's the big building with the domed roof and maybe some protestors. The whores in that building really put out.
