Indianapolis has been awarded the 2012 Super Bowl and the city is ecstatic and rightfully so - it is a big “Get” for a middle market like Indy. However one of the biggest arguments for going after the big game was and is based on the economic impact that the city could possibly receive from […]

Dear Mr Clemens,
