Miami hot topic: Indy's Super Bowl bid
MIAMI - NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell addressed Indianapolis' bid for the 2011 Super Bowl this morning at his annual a pre-Super Bowl news conference.
Goodell said he has had several discussions with Mayor Bart Peterson and regards Indianapolis as a viable host city.
"They're building a tremendous stadium and have got a great community," Goodell said. "I think they have a lot of things they'll present. It's my job to make sure the job is done in a fair and open process and I will do that."
Colts owner Jim Irsay has pledged $1 million to finance the bidding process. Arizona, host of next year's Super Bowl XLII, and Dallas are the other announced contenders.
Talk about perfect timing. Now if we can just win the game. Our ability to pull-together and host the AFC Title game when San Diego had all but started selling tickets also helped our cause. Not to mention out numerous Final Fours and those "little" races we host every year.
