With Lockout Looming, Plans Continue For Super Bowl XLVI

Filed under: , ,

DALLAS -- Convenient, connected, compact and central.

That's the mantra of the Super Bowl XLVI Host Committee.

The fine folks from the Hoosier State have manned their booth at the NFL's media center all week and were all too glad to speak to -- make that trumpet -- the virtues of the world championship game set for Feb. 5, 2012 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.

The league's fourth cold-weather Super Bowl site -- and that's not counting the current one, by the way -- figures to be the anti-Dallas. Where Super Bowl XLV is spread out across the plains of North Texas, the XLVI version will be confined to downtown Indy, which hosts NCAA men's basketball Final Fours every five years and already has a great reputation as fan friendly for big events, with everything nestled inside a few tight city blocks.

"The NFL has told us we will be the most urban Super Bowl they've ever had," said Dianna Boyce, committee director of communication. "That's a very positive thing from a community perspective."
