In the second quarter, Downtown IN Depth explored what bringing the 2012 Super Bowl to Indianapolis will mean to the city. We took a look at the preparations that are already underway for the big game and what the Indianapolis skyline will look like in 2012. National Football League owners voted to award the 2012 Super Bowl to Indianapolis over competing offers from Houston and the Phoenix suburb of Glendale, Arizona. The decision is expected to mean an economic bonanza for the Indianapolis region as well as global media attention.
