Indy To Bid For Super Bowl LII

Set against the backdrop of the Indianapolis skyline – the Colts, city and state leaders announced they’ve notified the NFL of their intent to submit a bid to host Super Bowl LII.

Allison Melangton, president of the Indianapolis Sports Corporation, says if Indy makes the October short list the Super Bowl Bid Committee will work on a written bid – which is due in April. Besides Indianapolis, Melangton says she expects Tampa, Minneapolis and New Orleans to also bid for 2018 – and possibly a few others – but the list will not be officially released by the NFL.
