Sources close to the City of Indianapolis are telling Indy Politics to not be shocked if Mayor Greg Ballard announces another Super Bowl bid for 2018.
The Mayor, Governor Mitch Daniels and a number of other officials are expected to announce tomorrow the economic impact of Super Bowl 46 on the city. Those numbers, compiled by an independent analysis, are being described as very strong.
So strong in fact, that the city is expected to announce it will pursue another Super Bowl. Sources say the city will pursue Super Bowl 52 in 2018.
Although there have been no prior analyses, earlier estimations have been Super Bowl 46 would have generated anywhere between $125 million to $400 million for the city.
