5 thoughts on “Indy is working to hold onto Combine even as NFL seeks other suitors

  1. While it’s good to hear Indy is ready for competition, the Combine is likely to become another NFL road show like the NFL Draft. And Indy is unlikely to get another Super Bowl due to increased competition from warm weather cities – Tampa, Phoenix, Houston, New Orleans – and/or bigger newer stadiums – Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami (upgrade), Dallas, Atlanta.

  2. The statement “we are playing to win” is probably Cliff’s Notes for Indy will somehow find a way to pay the NFL more to keep the combine here in Indy, to give them more perks. It will probably be questionable, considering that it is the NFL Combine. Whatever happens it will probably have to involve the FOP and Mayor getting on the same page about Downtown so that stories of “shootouts” fade from the news as well.

  3. money talks…so, how much will it take to pay the NFL to keep it here? i mean, we gave the colts a free stadium, we pay for the upkeep, allow them to keep concession revenue, and get no revenue from tv ads. so, how much?
