Could Indy be the Super City in 2018?

Another Super Bowl may be coming to the Circle City.

When Indianapolis hosted Super Bowl XLVI in 2012, it was regarded as a success both locally and nationally.

Now, the city is weighing its options on bidding for the NFL’s championship game in 2018.

Colts owner Jim Irsay, former Colts center Jeff Saturday, and others will join Gov. Mike Pence and Mayor Greg Ballard at a ceremony announcing the decision, Friday at 10 a.m.

Organizers raised $25 million to attract the 2012 game which officials say had a direct economic impact greater than $170 million.

This season’s Super Bowl will be played at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ.

Spartz's office says she was traveling to Europe and mistakenly carried an unloaded handgun in the pocket of her suitcase while going through security at Washington Dulles International Airport. Spartz is a staunch Second Amendment Republican representing central Indiana. She won her primary in May after saying last year that she would retire from congress. The charge carries up to a year in jail and a $2,500 fine if convicted.
