Would love to host the NFL Draft, would be great for the city and is a fun weekend for fans to experience. With that said the combine is synonymous with the City of Indianapolis and would hate to lose that.
+2
The Combine will end up going in one of two directions: rotate through different cities (like the Super Bowl) or assigned to one city (which is not Indianapolis). I think the owner (Spanos?) in the same breath as announcing the relocation of the team, stated they were going to have the Combine moved to LA. When you’re in the 2nd most populous city (Chicago is 3rd, soon to be 4th when Houston overtakes it) making such statements…the only way it won’t happen is if the [other] owners were truly as peeved about the move as it’s been said.
Everyone who has come to Indianapolis from either coast and places in-between for the Super Bowl, the Combine, the NCAA tournaments, or mega-conventions raves about our city’s facilities in an interesting, walkable, hospitable environment that is called downtown. Take, for instance, the praise from Jim Nantz, famed CBS sportscaster who has visit virtually every sport venue in the country: “You’ll never hear me say this anywhere else except to Indianapolis. You guys know how to make people feel welcome. Your downtown area is so beautifully suited for hosting big events. There’s the ability to mingle and run into people on your sidewalks. Your great restaurants. You can walk to the events. I have spent so much of my life in Indianapolis, and I’ve always longed to get back there.”
Quite frankly, it’s time that the combine move on. I don’t see Indy being a great draft city either. If it ever had it, IMS would be the place to do it.
To the post above me:If Indy believed they weren’t a good fit for conventions, the draft or the combine then why did Indy have the combine for 37yrs and hosted a super bowl? The super bowl in Indy is still considered one of the best ever.
The Indy Super Bowl was remarkable because of one thing: a freakish warm spell. If it had been typical weather, it wouldn’t have been remembered.
