Because Indianapolis is the perfect location to accommodate the needs of the Combine, and has shined as its host for more than three decades, it is only natural that other cities want in on the action. But Indy cannot rest on its laurels, and will need to compete for the event in the future by staying ahead of its competitors. Exactly how that is achieved remains to be seen.
Lol. It’s moving, permanently. Might want to start getting used to that reality.
Well, Murray R let them have it. I know of no other situation that meets the needs of a multi-day event like this, like the City of Indianapolis does. If the people there are there for business (evaluating talent etc.) they need a place like this. If its to have a good time and booze and chase skirts and do everything that they do at political conventions and super bowls and similar “conventions” then Indy will always face an uphill battle. I know what LA is like and no matter what venue, you put it in, you will be driving and running all over the place to do what you want get any rest and eat where you want. As for Dallas, which is a pretty nice place it still requires a lot more mobility. If it goes to either one, it will be due to money. Give them a few years of trying to do this and you will get it returned to Indy permanently.
Keeping the NFL Combine and other conventions is going to be driven by a safe and thriving downtown. If Rolls Royce, Salesforce, AUL and other major employers are going to continue to abandon downtown, then maintaining the restaurant and entertainment amenities to keep and win new conventions will be difficult.
We are all in this together, whether we want to be or not.
Have confidence in Indy. There are too many facilities, “right here.” Nobody can beat our central/convenient facilities. We have it all over anybody else; hotels, hospitals, stadium, convention center, outstanding restaurants, handling events, etc. park your car and pick it up when you leave. No other NFL city has all of this! Plus…..the biggest factors are competence and experience.
