Before it was open to the general public, I rushed to experience the NFL Experience. It opens to the public on Friday, Jan. 27, at the Indiana Convention Center, 100 S. Capitol Ave. Including clinics for kids and lots of memorabilia, the indoor theme park will feature more than 500,000 square feet of exhibits and playing space. They're heavy on the "interactive," with plenty of opportunities to run, throw, kick and tackle like the pros.

Check out the video here:

    great if they (visitors) could have actually been interactive instead of standing in at least 1 hr to 1 1/2 hr lines to do ANY of the interactive stuff. We had two 12 year olds who were able to do a clinic on the field only after being alerted by a friend who had gone the day before and told us to go straight there to "register" ok an hour to find someone who knew where we were to register; we stood in line an hour; were assigned to the 3rd clinic which was two hours later; (Each clinic had 80 kids) when we should have been in the first except they did not have line roped off and people kept cutting in plus the "fast pass" hlders...wait why didn't I hear about this...could fly right through while making the majority of the people mad. Everyone I heard was complaining; kids were complaining....pure greed. They should have sold a certain amount of tickets; that's it. It was worse than Disney and more disorganized. The day would have been a total fiasco were we not informed to get signed up for a clinic immediately upon arrival. So....NFL...don't be so greedy and make it an "experience" everyone can enjoy next time! Mostly rip off!!

  1. City-County Councilor Angela Mansfield and Bob Lutz have a case of wishful thinking.

    They obviously don't really care about the cost.

    They should.

  2. Brett, be careful what you lie about, the truth always comes out.

    "IMS's George Honored: Tony George, Indianapolis Motor Speedway president and chief executive officer, received the inaugural Pioneering and Innovation Award at the Autosport Awards Dec. 5 in London for his leadership in the development of the Steel and Foam Energy Reduction (SAFER) Barrier. George received the award at the annual gala at the Grosvenor House on behalf of the creators of the SAFER Barrier from Prince Salman Bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the leader of the Bahrain International Grand Prix circuit. This is the fourth major award that has been presented to honor George and the SAFER Barrier development team. The SAFER Barrier also received the Louis Schwitzer Award, SEMA Motorsports Engineering Award and GM Racing Pioneer Award in 2002. The SAFER Barrier was installed in all four turns of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway a pioneer in safety for drivers, cars and tracks -- in time for the 86th Indianapolis 500 in 2002. It since has been installed at more than a dozen other tracks, and the latest iteration will be installed at the Speedway in the spring.(IMS PR), see more on my Indy Track News page.(12-7-2004)"

    As far as the cart safety team, I cannot find anything on its date of creation. The Delphi Safety team was created in 1996. For some reason there is not much info out there on defunct racing series.

  3. Great article Anthony. Glad IMS is finally being run like a business and not a personal check book to finance the "Vision".

    Things are looking up but 15 years of scorched earth won't be fixed overnight. Unfortunately the TV ratings are still poor and that won't change anytime soon with the brilliant 10 year contract signed under the former regime.

  4. Brett not sure why you wonder what he said in his quote. "''I would like to jump in a time machine, go back to 1995, and tell the owners and Tony George not to split,'' Franchitti said. ''As soon as my time machine is done, I know where I'm going.''"

    Pretty clear, he would love to go back and tell TG and the team owners not to split.

    I am not sure there is anyone who wanted the split, and I don't think there is anyone who would not like to go back and prevent the split. But, as has been discussed ad nauseum, without the split carts management by team owners would have run all of ow racing into bankruptcy. If cart had such a wonderful product, then losing IMS would not have forced it into bankruptcy. If NASCAR lost Daytona or Charlotte, it would not fail like cart did.

    Truth,

    So you predicted that cart would go into bankruptcy and cease to exist while Indycar would continue on? I missed that prediction.

  5. I want to live in a city that has a garage structure to be proud of for it's innovating design!
