Indianapolis Travel Guide
The downtown of Indianapolis, Indiana, is
undergoing a makeover. New restaurants, new hotels, a new
library, an expanding convention center and a
state-of-the-art sports facility have helped change the face
of the city's skyline.
Lucas Oil Stadium, a 63,000-seat multipurpose facility,
features a retractable roof and walls that open to showcase
the skyline. Built primarily as the home of the 2007 Super
Bowl champion Indianapolis Colts, the stadium was selected
as the site of the 2012 Super Bowl. It also will be used for
regional play during the men's and women's NCAA Tournament
occasionally hosting the Final Four.
Indianapolis, also known for its auto-racing heritage, is
home to the world-famous Indianapolis 500, NASCAR's
Brickyard 400 and the National Drags. Formula One is
negotiating to bring the U.S. Grand Prix back to the famed
Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Visitors also can take in games
of the NBA's Indiana Pacers or the NFL's Indianapolis Colts.
Cultural tourism hasn't taken a backseat, however. With
expanding museums and officially designated cultural
districts chock-full of galleries, shops, restaurants and
public sculpture, the city's focus remains on the arts and
tourism. Indianapolis visitors also can enjoy the famous
Indianapolis Zoo.
