  1. Warren lived in Minneapolis for 15 years prior to joining the Big10. I’m shocked at the coincidence of moving the tourney to the least geographically centered place the Big10 has to offer… Interested to see how that deal compares to what Indy or Chicago had to offer…

    1. And the Big 10 television network is based in Chicago at the former Montgomery Ward Catalog Building in the River North neighborhood.

  2. Under this Mayor, Indianapolis is not even close to the city it used to be. We have gone from excellence to mediocracy. Actions have consequences. Elections matter.

    1. Richard, care to share with us when you think Indianapolis was “excellent” and exactly what it was that made it so?

  3. Losing marquee events is one thing….not even bidding on them is another! Indianapolis has enjoyed a reputation as one of the leading amateur sports capitals of the world. You do not let other cities get their foot in the door without consequences. Whether it is IHSAA, NCAA, Big Ten, AAU, USA Federation-these are opportunities to showcase and bring recognition to our city. Major concert venues, conventions, Pro-sports events- i.e. golf, tennis have been recently lost and are difficult to bring back. Our Sports Corporation has historically done a wonderful job of attracting elite events- but not even bidding on an event is going to make it more difficult in the future and loosens its grip as a “sports capital of the world”. Cities that have lost sports teams suffer long term effects both in city pride and economics. Indianapolis potentially could experience the same!
