WELCOME! FROM THE GOVERNOR AND THE MAYOR
Dear Super Bowl Visitors and Indiana Residents, It is with extreme honor to welcome Super Bowl visitors to what is unofficially described as “America’s Holiday.” It’s not by chance that this state was awarded such an event of this magnitude, as you know, given Indiana’s successful tradition in hosting super sports celebrations. Since the ’80s when we hosted the National Sports Festival and the Pan American Games, Indiana has committed to showing the world our vast capabilities. Growth became our middle name as we built a first rate airport, developed the state-of-the art Lucas Oil Stadium, expanded the Indiana Convention Center, and welcomed the largest JW Marriott in the world. Most recently, the redesign of Georgia Street to be a pedestrian-friendly, tree-lined, eye-catching space that visitors and convention-goers will enjoy long after the Super Bowl. Indiana is a place where the Hoosier spirit rings proud. With 8,000 volunteers passionately invested and the Super Bowl Host Committee staff who have logged countless hours, this event will be a memorable one for visitors and residents alike, Our Hoosier hospitality will make an indelible mark. Super Celebration Sites around the state will have their own super activities and extend the festivities beyond downtown to 20 areas. I am continuously impressed with the dedication Hoosiers have to making this state shine for people to live and visit. I am proud to serve you and visitors in the Hoosier state during one of our country’s largest sporting events of the year. From the tens of millions who will be focused on our Super Bowl city to the 150,000 visitors who will make their way into Indianapolis, may you enjoy every moment of this exciting experience.
Dear Football Fans, Welcome to the great City of Indianapolis! Everyone in Indianapolis is truly looking forward to hosting you for Super Bowl XLVI. The whole city has come together to ensure your visit and this worldwide event is fun and successful. But for us in Indianapolis, it was never just about one football game. It was, and is, about showcasing our wonderful city and fantastic residents, and making sure it is a place you look forward to coming back to again and again. From incredible murals being unveiled all across the city, to the Legacy Project and other efforts that have restored neighborhoods on the Near Eastside, to redesigned pedestrian-friendly celebration space along Georgia Street, to our incredible Cultural Trail linking downtown Indianapolis, we have made lasting investments in our city that will benefit visitors and residents alike. Because of the incredible efforts of the Super Bowl Host Committee, the City of Indianapolis, our business community, and our great volunteers, the work put into making Super Bowl XLVI a memorable event will be felt throughout central Indiana long after the final whistle blows. As you experience our Hoosier Hospitality, you will soon see why Indianapolis is a globally recognized and inclusive city that companies want to move to, and where people want to raise their families. We can’t wait to have you back again to enjoy everything our city has to offer, either as a visitor or as a permanent transplant! Best regards,
Sincerely, Gregory A. Ballard Mayor, City of Indianapolis
Mitch Daniels Governor, State of Indiana

WELCOME! FROM THE HOST COMMITTEE AND PUBLISHERS
Dear Super Bowl XLVI Community, More Than A Game. This phrase defined the Indianapolis Super Bowl Host Committee’s playbook. Every discussion, decision, and action was quarterbacked by how we could leverage the Super Bowl spotlight to improve our city. From our Legacy Project to Super Scarves to Indy’s Super Cure and more, the Indianapolis community huddled up to make an everlasting impact filled with life-changing moments. The Super Bowl Host Committee’s Legacy Project grew from one neighborhood’s Quality of Life Plan to a $150 million dollar project. See page 50 for more. Super Scarves and Super Service embody the spirit of giving in our community. See page 32 and 47, respectively, for more. Inspired by Traci Runge’s fight to beat breast cancer, Indy’s Super Cure has brought international attention to Indianapolis’ Susan G. Komen for the Cure® Tissue Bank, the only one of its kind in the world that collects healthy breast tissue for cancer research. See page 36 for more. Our hearts could not be more full as we tell you about the amazing stories and people that have embraced the More Than A Game mantra. See page 18 for specific examples and visit XLVIFaces.com to hear directly from these remarkable individuals. We invite you to share in these and other accomplishments in this commemorative publication. As one NFL team stands victorious on February 5, we will applaud their efforts and at the same time will always remember the people who helped us reach our own goal line.
Dear Readers, We offer you a very warm welcome to Indianapolis. Thousands of volunteers have been preparing for your arrival. It’s finally showtime in Indy. This commemorative magazine is the result of a collaborative effort by the 2012 Indianapolis Super Bowl Host Committee, Indianapolis Monthly, Indianapolis Business Journal and the Indianapolis Convention & Visitors Association. The Super Bowl has inspired many unique collaborative efforts around the city. You’ll read more about some of those efforts in this magazine. Many companies that are normally aggressively competing with one another dropped their competitive guard to pitch in together for the common good of the city and this great event. The ability to collaborate is one of the best things about our community. It happens again and again as the city hosts many successful events. It’s our “secret sauce.” We hope you enjoy this publication. Inside you’ll find interesting facts about Lucas Oil Stadium and downtown Indianapolis. Also included is useful information about things to do—official events, area destinations and activities, a listing of area restaurants, maps and tools to navigate around the city and a lot more. You’ll also learn how Indy won the right to host the Super Bowl. Also featured are stories about how the positive effects of the Super Bowl will remain long after the game thanks to programs initiated by the Host Committee. And what’s up with all those “Super Scarves” around town? Even the dinosaur at the Children’s Museum is wearing one. Read all about it inside. It’s almost game time and Indianapolis is proud to be your host.
Sincerely, Sincerely,
Allison Melangton Super Bowl Host Committee CEO and President
Mark Miles Super Bowl Host Committee Chairman of the Board

O, HOW DID Indianapolis land Super Bowl XLVI? That is not unlike asking how you build the penthouse suite on a skyscraper. The answer, of course, is that you start with a foundation and build from there, one girder, one slab of stone, one floor at a time. Certainly, those involved in charting Indy’s course 40 years ago, when the Super Bowl still

was in its infancy, did not have sports’ penthouse event in mind. Even if they had, there were several obstacles. Such as no stadium. No team. And, really, no vision—yet—that Indianapolis could shed its collective inferiority complex and evolve into something far more nationally and internationally relevant than a once-a-year host of an auto race. But one by one, the lower floors began to take shape. The construction of a convention center downtown. The unifying forces of local
government called, appropriately, Uni-Gov and the building of Market Square Arena under then-Mayor and now U.S. Senator Richard Lugar. The completion of the interstate system through downtown. The risk-taking of constructing a domed stadium without that team to play in it. Digging the holes that would eventually be filled in to become Circle Centre mall. The attraction of cultural amenities downtown, epitomized by White River State Park. Bipartisan political will. Significant buyin by the corporate and philanthropic communities and general acceptance by citizens

“Years after the Pan Am Games, people would stop me on the street and tell me about their volunteer experience and say it was one of the highlights of their lives.” MARK MILES, CHAIR, SUPER BOWL HOST COMMITTEE
“people would stop me on the street and tell me about their volunteer experience and say it was one of the highlights of their lives.” “It made a difference to them and the way they see their community,” he continues. “That’s enough reason to do this stuff by itself. But the mere fact that you get people involved in something larger than themselves, that they feel great about it at the end of the day, it affects the morale and tenor of the community in ways you can’t imagine.” It’s become a culture, part of the Indy DNA. Jim Delany, commissioner of the Big Ten, has said Indianapolis “has more professional volunteers than any other city in the country.” Small wonder, then, that original callout for Super Bowl XLVI volunteers was 8,000 … and

ended up with 12,000 names in the database. So both gradually and all at once, it seemed, the nation turned its eyes on Indianapolis beyond the month of May. First, it attracted national governing bodies, four of which still call the city home: USA Track & Field, USA Gymnastics, USA Diving and USA Synchronized Swimming. Then came events.

that their money—mostly from a food and beverage tax—would deliver a significant return on the investment. Tying it all together—the bow around the package—was this over-arching, loosely defined (at least at the outset) exceedingly wellexecuted (as it played out) concept called the “sports initiative” that has since attracted nearly 500 national and international events, drawn millions of spectators and visitors, stimulated more than $4 billion in economic activity and re-shaped and re-defined the city’s once-commonplace brand. And now, the Super Bowl. Indianapolis reached for the sky and touched the stars. “Dream no small dreams and make no small plans,” former state senator Dr. Ned Lampkin, one of the visionaries, once said. “We were tired of being viewed as a thirdclass city,” says Jim Morris, another of those leaders who is now the president and CEO of Pacers Sports & Entertainment. “The country looked at us as if we didn’t amount to much. So we decided we were going to change that and turn this into someplace where we can be competitive and build a city we can be proud of. “There was no grand plan, but everything we did led to something better,” says Morris. “I think it makes for one of the great economic development stories of the last 100 years in this country,” adds Jack Swarbrick, former Indianapolis attorney and chair of the not-for-profit Indiana Sports Corporation (Sports Corp.), who is now director of athletics at the University of Notre Dame. Yet it was more than economic impact. It was emotional impact. Indianapolis and its citizens began to see themselves in a different light. The sports strategy was sexy. It was cool. And it had almost immediate buy-in. The populace both snapped up tickets, but also turned out in droves to volunteer for events. They not only wanted to witness a Carl Lewis long jump … they wanted to rake the sand pit, too. Mark Miles is now chair of the Super Bowl Host Committee. In 1987, he was president of the organizing committee for the Pan American Games, the event that announced to the world Indianapolis was moving in a bold new direction. He believes what has happened in Indianapolis has been transformative. Citizens took ownership of the sports initiative and derived pride from it. “Years after the Pan Am Games,” he says,

location of its national headquarters in 1999. Olympic Trials in a variety of sports. The arrival of the Colts shortly before the Hoosier Dome opened. The emergence of the Pacers as an elite NBA franchise in the ’90s. The attraction of the Big Ten basketball tournaments and its first five championship football games. Additions and renovations at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway that allowed it to attract NASCAR and Formula One. Certainly, there were the infrastructure investments. A world-class natatorium and track and field stadium. A velodrome. A rowing course. And the biggies: Market Square Arena and then Conseco Fieldhouse; the Hoosier/RCA Dome, and then Lucas Oil Stadium. In the meantime, downtown blossomed with new hotels, restaurants and cultural attractions. Add it all up and you hear from none other than CBS’s well-traveled sportscaster Jim Nantz, who says he’s done more broadcasts from Indianapolis than any other city. Yet, for all that, the Super Bowl is in another realm. It is the most-watched event— sporting or otherwise—in America with more than 100 million viewers. It is expected to attract as many as 150,000 visitors (or twice the capacity of Lucas Oil Stadium) to the city. Its economic impact is enormous, estimated from as “low” as $125 million to as much as $400 million. So how did Indy elbow its way into the pack of sunbelt cities and much larger metro areas to land Super Bowl XLVI? Well, it started out by losing out—narrowly —on Super Bowl XLV. Virtually from the moment that the Indiana State legislature approved the funding mechanisms that would finance the construction of Lucas Oil Stadium and the expansion of the Indiana Convention Center, city leaders set their sights on landing the Super Bowl. Only they were pursuing the 2011 Super Bowl, not 2012. Fred Glass, an Indianapolis attorney who was then president of the Capital Improvement Board in the administration of Mayor Bart Peterson, was foremost among those who believed a Super Bowl was within the city’s reach. Obviously, the new stadium was key, but so was the expanded convention center, the new terminal at Indianapolis International Airport and plans for a new, 1,000-room convention hotel that eventually would become the JW Marriott. In late 2005, Glass recalls meeting with Pe-

INDIANAPOLIS 500
WHILE THIS WILL BE INDIANAPOLIS’S FIRST SUPER BOWL, the city has a long history of hosting major sporting events dating back to, of course, the first running of the Indianapolis 500-Mile Race in 1911. In fact, the Indianapolis 500 and NASCAR’s Brickyard 400 are recognized as the two largest single-day sporting events in the world. According to the Indiana Sports Corporation, Indianapolis has hosted more than 400 sporting events since 1980 with a total economic impact of nearly $4 billion. “Our track record of hosting large events speaks for itself and it was a point of emphasis in both of our Super Bowl bids,” says Allison Melangton, president and CEO of the Indianapolis Super Bowl Host Committee. “Beyond the events at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, we have built a reputation that we are a community that has both the infrastructure and the human resources to attract and stage large-scale events.” Officials estimate Super Bowl XLVI will attract 150,000 visitors and experience somewhere between $125 million and $400 million in economic impact. So how do other Indianapolis events stack up? Here’s a look: The Indianapolis 500 The “Greatest Spectacle In Racing” draws a crowd estimated at around 300,000 and fills virtually all the 28,000 hotel rooms in the metropolitan Indianapolis area. According to the Indianapolis Convention & Visitors Association, it has an estimated economic impact of $336 million. The Brickyard 400 The most recent Brickyard 400 race attracted an estimated 135,000 fans and ICVA estimates $219 million in visitor spending associated with the race. NCAA Men’s Final Four The event has grown from the 17,000-seat Market Square Arena (1980) to crowds of more than 40,000 during its run (1991, 1997, 2000, 2006) at the Hoosier/RCA Dome to the 2010 Final Four at Lucas Oil Stadium that attracted more than 70,000 fans. Estimated economic impact, according to the ICVA, is $40-50 million. The event returns to Indy in 2015.

The event requires 675 rooms at its peak with visitor spending estimated at $2.4 million. Beginning in 2013, Indianapolis will alternate with a Chicago suburb as tournament host.

Glass excused himself from the table for a moment and when he returned, Peterson told him he had decided on the person who should lead the bid: Glass. “And the mayor can be quite persuasive,” says Glass, now the director of athletics at Indiana University. And so it began. A bid committee was formed. Glass enlisted the aid of Swarbrick because of his extensive experience with the Sports Corp. in leading bids for other major events. The Sports Corp. “loaned” Allison Melangton, then its senior vice president of events, to attend to the detail work of responding to the NFL’s two 3-inch-thick binders of bid requirements for potential host cities. Melangton assembled her own team that included Sports Corp. colleagues, Colts officials, video production specialists, event planners, stadium officials, the Indianapolis Convention & Visitors Association, Indianapolis Downtown Inc., and leaders from both the public and private sectors. Oh, and there was one other not-so-insignificant item: how to finance the bid, and how to finance the game—to meet staffing and bid requirements—if Indianapolis was successful. On this, Glass was insistent. Indianapolis would have the money in the bank before it presented its bid. “I reasoned that it was a heck of a lot easier to raise the money for something you were chasing rather than something you’d already caught,” he says. Colts owner Jim Irsay pledged the first $1 million. Eli Lilly CEO John Lechleiter, with his own company putting up a significant gift, led the solicitation of other donors. By the time Indianapolis was to present to the NFL owners in Nashville, Tennessee, in May 2007, $25 million had been raised from more than 100 corporations and businesses—both large and small—as well individuals. Even more remarkably, they donated without a guarantee of getting anything, including game tickets, in return. Indianapolis thus became the first Super Bowl bid city to arrive with its funding in hand. “It was simply extraordinary, yet typical of our city,” says Glass. “I remember at the bid presentation holding up the stack of commitment letters. I understood that we were a small-market city, but that showed that we had credibility, and CONTINUED ON PAGE 88

At the heart of campus the Fine Arts Plaza—comprising the IU Auditorium, IM Pei–designed IU Art Museum, Lilly Library rare books collection, and the new IU Cinema—anchor a vibrant campus cultural life. Nearby, the renowned IU Jacobs School of Music stages performances at the Musical Arts Center that rival any on either coast. Our regional campuses cultivate IU’s strengths in informatics, technology, the arts, health care, international and cultural programs, and the life sciences to advance local economies and opportunities. And our reach extends far beyond the crossroads of America. As a world-class research institution—with research spending that exceeded $500 million for the first time in 2011—our collaborations with international students, faculty, and universities make an impact that is realized around the globe.

SUPER SCARVES BY LORI D. ROBERTS
N PHOTOS BY TONY VALAINIS
O MATTER THE team playing in Super Bowl XLVI, Indianapolis visitors may notice a definite blueand-white theme during this year’s festivities. More than 12,000 volunteers and hospitality professionals will debut homemade Super Scarves, complete with the Super Bowl Host Committee logo. The cheerful scarves have been handcrafted for this year’s Super Scarves project, an initiative designed to engage individuals who might not otherwise be able to participate in the Super Bowl project. Super Scarves is the culmination of work by people in 43 states and three countries, all volunteers who wanted to be part of Super Bowl XLVI. “A lot of people who have participated in creating the scarves aren’t the people you’d expect to come down to Lucas Oil Stadium to help,” says DeMario Vitalis, co-chairman of the Super Scarves committee. “It gives people another opportunity to volunteer in a non-traditional way.” Allison Melangton, president and chief executive officer of the 2012 Super Bowl Host Committee, recalls how the idea started. After receiving the bid, she began to hear from countless people who wanted to help. Thanks to today’s technology and cyberspace communications, asking volunteers to stuff envelopes was a thing of the past. So she and a few friends kicked around a couple ideas before they started thinking about scarves. The idea had a successful history. A similar scarf program was featured at the 2008 Special Olympics in Idaho, where volunteers made scarves for all of the participants. Melangton shared her idea with Katie Meister-Vicars, an account management executive with Anthem National Accounts and a Super
Bowl Host Committee co-chair. “I looked at her and said, why are you working on this? Let’s get a committee working to make it happen,” Meister-Vicars admits, knowing Melangton’s plate was full. The Super Scarves committee went to work, researching yarn vendors and determining the correct colors. The group invested about $25,000 to buy enough yarn for 4,000 scarves, and the yarn was included in kits distributed through the Indianapolis-Marion County Public Library system.
Knitting, crocheting, and weaving lessons were offered at local libraries, designed for those people who haven’t stitched since they were children and those who had never picked up a needle but still wanted to learn. Knitting aficionado Sarah Burton heard about the initiative and figured she’d make a few scarves and be done. Soon, though, she volunteered to teach the library classes, incorporating a couple of her own patterns that looked a lot more complicated than they were. She also helped spread the word on ravelry.com, a so-

some volunteers went beyond the call of yarn duty. Take, for instance, Bev Meska, an 82-year-old Michigan City great-grandmother who heard about the project and started crocheting. She figured she’d make about 10 scarves, but then she kept going. Before she knew it, she had finished 100 scarves. She completed more than 250 scarves, equaling at least 750 hours’ worth of work. Meska’s story is featured in “XLVI Faces” on xlvifaces.com on the Host Committee’s website. Some of the stories are smaller in scope, but not in emotion. Each knitting kit included a postcard for the creator to include when returning the completed scarf. From these postcards, Melangton and the Host Committee staff discovered that more than time and yarn went into each scarf. One scarf maker explained that the scarf helped keep her centered and calm while she sat by her husband’s bedside in the hospital. Her husband is better now, she wrote, and the scarf can go on to comfort someone else. Another tells of creating her scarf during the long, sometimes frustrating hours of kidney dialysis. Melangton adds many of her favorite moments have been reading the cards that come in with the scarves.
EXCEEDING A LOFTY GOAL When Super Scarves was announced in early 2010, the committee expected 8,000 volunteers, and they hoped to receive enough scarves for each one. By mid-summer of 2011, as the scarves kept pouring in, they knew they’d have more than enough handcrafted creations to offer the additional scarves to front line hospitality workers. Nearly every scarf is just a little different. There are block patterns and stripes, original patterns by Burton, and complicated patterns like the one Vitalis took on while watching football. (Don’t let him fool you—the man’s creations look like something you’d find in a gift shop.) Each volunteer received his or her scarf with the official volunteer uniform. As for the crafters who created each scarf, they may never see their scarves again. Maybe, if they’re lucky, they’ll catch a glimpse of their creation during the Big Game.

cial website for knitters, weavers, and people who crochet, to encourage these hand crafters on an international database of nearly 2 million registered users to participate. Along the way, Burton and others discovered that knitters and other crafters don’t always fit the stereotype of the grandma in her rocking chair (although some of the nicest scarves have indeed come from the hands of grandmothers). Take Vitalis, for instance. The Cummins, Inc. product planner and Indianapolis native was never a knitter. When he volunteered for the Super Bowl, he never thought he’d be placed on the Super Scarves committee. But he learned how to knit and made three scarves himself. “It was something that I like to do during football,” Vitalis says. Other non-traditional knitters could be found at the Indianapolis Re-Entry Education Facility for convicted offenders who have two years or fewer left in their sentences. A group of prisoners have been busy learning to knit and completing their creations. Female volunteers at the Indiana Women’s Prison have sewn on the official Super Bowl Host Committee patch that adorns every scarf. While many people created a few scarves,

RACI RUNGE never planned to be the local breast cancer poster child. In the past, the Carmel wife and mother of three had participated in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, primarily as an athlete interested in supporting other women with the disease. Neither she nor her close friends and family experienced the disease firsthand. That changed when Carrie Fogleman, the mother of a child Runge coached in cheerleading, was diagnosed with the disease. So when Runge read about a breast tissue bank seeking
36 SB XLVI
donations of healthy tissue, she felt drawn to participate. The Susan G. Komen for the Cure® Tissue Bank at the IU Simon Cancer Center had been collecting blood samples, breast tissue, and saliva since 2005, providing a repository of samples for any interested researcher around the world. A donation event had been set up at the nearby IU Health North hospital, but the effort already had a full list of donors. “I was very forceful,” Runge recalls. “I said, ‘Can’t you just take one more? I live right down the street.’” Runge donated her own breast tissue in 2007 and figured that was the end of the story. Life, though, had other plans. In 2010, Runge visited Indianapolis breast surgeon R. Thomas Schmidt, M.D., to examine a lump in her
breast. She figured it was maybe an injury, but it wouldn’t hurt to check it out. Dr. Schmidt, medical director for the breast program at St. Vincent Hospital, was more concerned about the mass under her arm. Runge spent the remainder of the day in his office, undergoing mammograms and ultrasounds. She remembers looking at the pictures, seeing her own breast infiltrated with the disease. She came home and started the next chapter of her story. How would her diagnosis affect her husband, Dan? How would it affect her daughters, Hannah, Allie, and Gracie, then 16, 10, and 6? “Each night I would go into my girls’ room and pray,” Runge says, her voice breaking even as she recounts the story 18 months later. “I

SUPER CURE prayed for me, I prayed for them, and I prayed for my purpose.” A few days after her diagnosis, Runge went to pick up her participant packet for that year’s Race for the Cure. The experience jogged her memory about the tissue bank, so she called and asked if there would be any interest in taking samples of her diseased tissue. The bank responded with a resounding yes. Such a donation would provide researchers with access to one woman’s breast tissue before and after a cancer diagnosis. This could be invaluable to researchers intent on finding a cure, says George Sledge, M.D., a professor of Medicine and Pathology and Ballve-Lantero Professor of Oncology at Indiana University School of Medicine and a physician/researcher at the IU Simon Cancer Center. “If you don’t have a pretty good sense of what the normal blueprint is supposed to look

like, and you’re trying to compare this crazy version, sometimes it’s hard to know what you’re looking for,” says Dr. Sledge. Again, Runge’s story could have ended there. But Runge’s good friend, Allison Melangton, happens to be the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Indianapolis Super Bowl Host Committee. One Sunday in October 2010, Melangton, Runge, and some other friends were watching football highlights on ESPN while helping Runge record her story in journal form. Melangton noticed the proliferation of pink on the field for breast cancer awareness, and a connection was made. “I just started thinking about it,” Melangton says. “It’s crazy that we have this tissue bank here and we’re not highlighting it for the Super Bowl.” Since announcing Indy’s Super Cure in July 2011, Melangton and her staff have worked to
raise awareness of the tissue bank. Following donation events that were held in central Indiana in September and November 2011, the tissue bank had tissue samples from 1,865 donors. Another donation event and related awareness activities are planned for the week before the big game. Indy’s Super Cure succeeded in raising $1 million for the tissue bank through various activities, including a November gala event and silent auction. Prominent researchers, clinicians, and advocates first discussed the dearth of normal breast tissue for use in research over a decade ago at the National Cancer Institute’s Breast Cancer Progress Review Group meeting. One of the participants at that meeting was an Indiana woman named Connie Rufenbarger, a breast cancer advocate and project director of the Catherine Peachey Fund, Inc., which is dedicated to breast cancer research.

years. “The Tissue Bank opens up whole new avenues of research and does it on a global scale,” Brinker says. “It may very well hold the key that unlocks the secrets of this disease.” Indy’s Super Cure events stress the need not only for healthy tissue, but also for tissue from a variety of donors from different races and nationalities. Breast cancer is a general term for a number of diseases, says Dr. Sledge, and environmental, dietary, and genetic factors may play a role in what type of disease a woman develops. “Breast cancers are different,” Dr. Sledge explains. “If you look at African-American

ers and their collaborators. An initial $1 million grant from the Susan G. Komen for the Cure® Research Grants and Awards Program allowed the Komen Tissue Bank to be established in 2007 to provide specimens to researchers around the globe. Ambassador Nancy G. Brinker, founder and CEO of Susan G. Komen for the Cure®, announced an additional $500,000 Komen grant to the Tissue Bank in November 2011 to begin collections in Kenya, bringing Komen’s total contribution to $7 million over the past four

women, or for that matter, women in Africa, they may have different types of breast cancer than Caucasian or Asian women have.” The tissue bank hit home for Dr. Sledge in 2011, when Lisa Miller, his administrative assistant, was diagnosed with breast cancer. She sought treatment from Dr. Storniolo. Like Runge, Miller had already donated healthy breast tissue to the tissue bank. Following the diagnosis, Dr. Storniolo asked Miller if she would donate her diseased tissue to the bank. Dr. Storniolo, Dr. Clare and Rufenbarger
weren’t sure if the question was insensitive during such a turbulent period. Rufenbarger believed Miller would, and she was right. “I was like, ‘Absolutely, take what you need,’” Miller says. While Miller and Runge have both donated before and after tissue samples, their breast cancers are dramatically different. Miller had been diagnosed positive for a BRCA1 mutation, a mutation in a breast cancer gene that normally suppresses cancer. The harmful mutation puts her at an increased risk for breast and ovarian cancer. Researchers understand that the BRCA1 mutation is related to cancer, but they don’t quite understand the mechanism that allows cancer to grow, Dr. Sledge says. Runge’s cancer is not related to the BRCA gene, but her tissue samples can allow researchers to study the mechanism of action in her particular version of the disease. When Indy’s Super Cure leaders heard about Miller, they asked her to join Runge in telling their stories. Miller has worked in the breast cancer field for 15 years and with Dr. Sledge for 15 years. She’s seen breast cancer go from a morbid diagnosis to a disease that can be attacked with many different treatments. “I’m hoping that whatever this tissue bank is going to be able to provide to researchers is going to be another key that’s going to get us ever closer to a cure,” Miller says. In the meantime, Miller and Runge are telling their stories. Runge has called Carrie Fogleman’s husband to let him know that his wife, who lost her battle against the disease in 2007, is the inspiration behind her journey. The Runge family is well-represented in the tissue bank. Since Runge’s diagnosis, her mother and grandmother have also donated tissue. Runge’s daughter Hannah, now 18, donated in November with some of her girlfriends. And what about those researchers way back when, the ones who said a tissue bank could never work because women wouldn’t donate their healthy tissues? Dr. Sledge just laughs them off. “They don’t know Hoosier women,” he says. “Every time we do this, we have to turn away women. This is something women are passionate about. They don’t want their daughters to get this disease.” For more information on the Susan G. Komen for the Cure® Tissue Bank at the IU Simon Cancer Center, visit komentissuebank.iu.edu.

barger encountered the issue again in 2004 at The Amelia Project gathering, a conference of Indiana scientists and researchers. At the time, researchers thought women weren’t going to donate healthy breast tissue. Rufenbarger disagreed. Together with Dr. Susan Clare, a breast surgeon and associate professor at the IU School of Medicine, and Dr. Anna Maria Storniolo, an IU professor of clinical medicine and director of the Catherine Peachey Breast Cancer Prevention Program, they established the tissue bank. The bank was first known as Mary Ellen’s Tissue Bank, which now is used exclusively by IU research-

EMERGING BUSINESS BY REBECCA BERFANGER

Cynthia Wilson, co-owner of Kountry Kitchen
W WHILE MANY PEOPLE in Indianapolis have heard of the soul food restaurant Kountry Kitchen just north of downtown on College Avenue—not to mention everyone who has enjoyed their fried chicken and other Southern-style offerings—that doesn’t mean that they would automatically be considered as a contender for a Super Bowl contract, at least not without a little help. Central Indiana residents may also be familiar with Repro Graphix, a printing company with locations in Indianapolis and Evansville that has been an active member of the business community since 1985 and is currently a supporter of more than 50 non-profit organizations and about 20 industry organizations. So to get these two businesses, and others like them, on the radar of NFL contractors who will be in town for the Super Bowl, the NFL Emerging Business program, headed in Indianapolis by Marshawn Wolley and supported by volunteers and others on the Super Bowl Host Committee, has helped make these connections a reality.
Because about half of the participants would be asked to submit requests for proposals, and only 15-20 percent of all participating businesses were likely to receive contracts, the committee made a special effort to ensure that businesses were properly listed in the Business Resource Guide based on ability. “We wanted them to focus on their core strengths,” Wolley says. And because these businesses needed to be certified as WBEs or MBEs to be considered for these NFL-related contracts, Wolley and others helped put qualified businesses in touch with the Indianapolis Department of Minority and Women Business Development, the Indiana Department of Administration’s Minority and Women’s Business Division, or the Indiana Minority Supplier Development
Among the judges of one of these events, Super Pitch Monday, was Rafael Sanchez, an attorney at Bingham McHale in Indianapolis and a volunteer co-chair for the Emerging Business Committee. “The main question on your mind should be, ‘Why should I be awarded a contract?’ We told participants, ‘Give us your sales pitch,’” says Sanchez. “We also told them to expect questions on the spot because this would mimic a live interview. Then the next 10 minutes were for feedback. We wanted these businesses to be prepared for if or when a call comes so they aren’t doing this for the first time. Certainly everyone is thinking, ‘How can I get a contract for the Super Bowl?’ but this process also encouraged people to think about their businesses and how to explain

FINDING PARTICIPANTS To get the word out and recruit candidates, Wolley and Emerging Business Committee members reached out to minority and women business enterprises around the state. To do this, they worked with business and community organizations and found approximately 1,600 potential candidates throughout the state that were ultimately narrowed to 412. Wolley says he and other program leaders spoke with the NFL to learn their specific needs in nearly 70 product categories and services, which were in turn shared with participants. “We were very direct when we communicated this information,” he says. “We wanted to position these businesses in the best possible way by highlighting their strengths and suggesting businesses that were strong candidates for these contracts.”
Council to get them started. These certifications can also lead to other contracts down the road as some government contracts give preference to MBEs and WBEs. Other than certification help when needed—some businesses, like Kountry Kitchen, weren’t certified before while others, like Repro Graphix, were—the committee has given hands on, interactive workshops and followup help to participants. Among these events were chances to give presentations similar to what they would do when competing for a contract, followed by immediate feedback from committee volunteers and others in the business community. These opportunities were also competitive just to participate.

what services they provide, how can they package and present that in terms of where they fit, where they could make their pitch as to where they add value instead of just asking, ‘What do you need?’ Instead, they are learning to be proactive and creative in positioning their companies in terms of what they think a Super Bowl contract would require.” Wolley adds that among the businesses listening to these pitches were the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Roche, giving participants exposure to these local companies.

LASTING RELATIONSHIPS “We have come a long way when it comes to the number, capacity, and sophistication of minority and women owned businesses since I did this for the Pan American Games we hosted in 1987,” says Joe Slash, a co-chair of the Emerging Business Committee and president and CEO of the Indianapolis Urban League. Not only have a number of the participants scored contracts for the game and related events—Cynthia Wilson, a co-owner of Kountry Kitchen, has already catered a couple Super Bowl-related events and Repro Graphix will be working with Game Day Management on signage—they have also been able to network with each other at various workshops and training sessions that the Emerging Business Committee has hosted. Wilson says the committee has been nothing but helpful every step of the way. “I think it’s been a very rewarding process,” Wilson says. “The committee has been fantastic. Whenever I have questions, the commit-

tee has been Johnny-on-the-spot. The people are great, they are just there. I can e-mail, and within 24 hours have a response.” She adds meeting other local vendors has been one of the best benefits of the program. “A florist who was there wants to get together with me after the Super Bowl to do an event where she provides the flowers, I provide the food, and we’ll invite event planners,” she says. “That’s the type of networking that’s invaluable. When someone tells me they want to be included in an event with them, I think that’s a huge compliment.” She was also interested in the opportunity for the eatery to show that while the restaurant serves southern fare, the catering business prepares virtually any kind of cuisine that their clients request for an intimate gathering to a sit down dinner for up to 1,000. Kountry Kitchen also caters for the Indiana Black Expo each July. Jill Hall, president of Repro Graphix, has had a similar experience when it comes to networking with other businesses saying it has absolutely paid off. “I totally believed in networking before, and with this program you will end up meeting someone you can do business with. I’ve met a lot of great people who can do business with us and we can do business with them,” she says. Turae Dabney, an Emerging Business vol-
WHAT’S NEXT Participants say they’re delighted to be involved with the Super Bowl. They have enjoyed preparing for the big week—and are looking forward to the game and other events. “I am so excited about the Super Bowl coming to Indy and so excited to be able to say we’re going to be a part of it,” says Hall. “We couldn’t be more excited about what the Super Bowl is bringing to the community as a whole. We are just thrilled to be a part of it,” she adds. She is also pleased with how the Super Bowl Host Committee has been helping Hoosiers through other programs, as well. “I’m so impressed with all of the good that is coming out of this for our community,” she adds. “I think the world of what they’re doing. I’m excited about any part I can be included in. We’ll volunteer in any we can.”

unteer co-chair and executive director of the Indianapolis Black Chamber of Commerce, also sees long-term payoffs with the Host Committee from these efforts. “In developing this program for the Indianapolis Super Bowl, we have been thinking about the legacy of the Super Bowl beyond the game,” she says. “Planning and preparing for this event has required all hands on deck for many organizations that directly impact the minority and women business community. Through communication, we as organizations have begun to coordinate efforts to strengthen our constituencies outside of this event. I am confident that this horizontal coordination will continue long after the game.” Wolley adds that in addition to the online listing of participants on the Emerging Business section of the Host Committee’s website IndianapolisSuperBowl.com/ emerging-business and at emergingbusiness. IndianapolisSuperBowl.com/search_vendor. aspx, a list of participants in the program will be made available to local businesses, such as hospitals, schools, sports organizations, and venues. Other organizations, such as the National Collegiate Athletics Association and Indianapolis Convention & Visitors Association, are also aware of this list. Participating businesses also had a chance to get their clients in on the action. If a current or new client spent at least $500 with one of these employers, they were registered to win tickets to the big game. “We wanted these businesses to seek out new relationships,” Wolley says.

1ST & GREEN When a city hosts a Super Bowl, much of its energy and resources are used to make it a success. That’s why the Host Committee has been working since early 2010 to offset the carbon footprint and water usage of the big event. Over 160 Green Corps high school students of the Class of 2012 from throughout Indiana have participated in tree plantings, recycling programs, environmental education, and clean-up projects. Residents who are participating in the 1st & Green Challenge have been logging how often they carpool, ride a bike instead of drive, turn of the water when they brush their teeth, shop with a reusable bag, and act environmentally friendly in many other ways. Participants include individuals and groups with their schools, non-profit organizations, businesses, and governments. All their efforts have conserved more than one million pounds of carbon and gallons of water, respectively. Partnering with local nonprofit RecycleForce, several electronics recycling drives have been conducted to recover unwanted electronics that otherwise would have gone to the landfill. Through non-profit organization Second Helpings, the Host Committee is facilitating the recovery of prepared foods from Super Bowl week events.
2,012 TREES BY 2012 The Super Bowl Host Committee exceeded their goal of planting 2,012 Trees by 2012 and reached 2,876 by December 2011. Thanks to guidance and support from Keep Indianapolis Beautiful and the John H. Boner Community Center, Indianapolis and other cities around the state are enjoying more beautiful scenery.
SUPER SERVICE When hosting guests, it’s important to make a good impression. Super Service has helped train hospitality workers and Super Bowl volunteers in person and online through English and Spanish versions of the program. The training focuses on general service principles, Indiana’s rich history, and Super Bowl event and volunteer-specific information.

LEGACY PROJECT BY BILL BENNER, SPECIAL TO THE INDIANAPOLIS BUSINESS JOURNAL

VEN BEFORE the city pursued a Super Bowl—and even before funding was secured for Lucas Oil Stadium—residents of Indy’s Near Eastside neighborhood were plotting their own “legacy” project: a better neighborhood for themselves, their children—and their children’s children. From the early 1990s, the Near Eastside had been in decline. In the shadow of a thriving downtown—so close but yet so far away —there were boarded up homes, dwindling commercial activity, increased crime, and streets, sidewalks, and sewers in disrepair. “The neighborhood was just in a funk,” says Ann Marie Hanlon, who has lived on the Near Eastside for 35 years. “And we just didn’t know quite where to go. But we knew we had to do something.” Instead of looking outward for help, they looked inward. They weren’t going to wait for action or surrender to circumstance. They were going to make their own way. “They just said we’re going to make a difference and we’re going to barge forward,” says James Taylor, chief executive officer of the John H. Boner Community Center. Thus, in 2004, neighborhood stakeholders came together to form the Near Eastside Collaborative Task Force. One of their first successes was advocating for state policy change in abandoned housing. “We coalesced,” says Hanlon, who became chairwoman of the task force. Building on that success, the Near Eastside was selected to be one of six demonstration neighborhoods for the Great Indy Neighborhoods Initiatives, a citywide collaboration to support neighborhood revitalization. In June 2007, over 400 neighborhood residents came together to kick-off the start of a neighborhood visioning process that resulted in a quality-of-life plan with more than 150 objectives. Support for the Near Eastside came from many, including the Local Initiatives Support Corp. (LISC), a national not-for-profit focused on neighborhood redevelopment, headed locally by Bill Taft. The ball was rolling. “About half of those objectives had already started and many were completed before anybody breathed the words ‘Super Bowl Legacy
Project,’ ” says Taylor. In the meantime, however, Indianapolis had worked with the Indiana State Legislature to secure the regional funding for Lucas Oil Stadium and the expanded Indiana Convention Center. Virtually at the same time and as construction on the stadium began in September 2005, city leaders—in particular, Capital Improvement Board President Fred Glass—began pursuing a Super Bowl for Indy’s new facility. When they presented the bid for the 2011 Super Bowl to NFL owners in May 2007, the emphasis was on the city’s sports history, the new facilities (stadium, airport, hotels) coming online and the convenience of downtown. The mention of a “legacy” project was largely confined to the building of a multi-purpose athletic center that, after serving as a practice space for a Super Bowl team, would be turned over to Indianapolis Public Schools. Supposedly, the bid lost narrowly by a 1715 vote, more because Dallas Cowboys’ owner Jerry Jones had a larger new stadium being built that could drive more revenue back to the owners. But Indianapolis leaders were encouraged to bid again. And so they did, in May 2008. However, in the interim, the political landscape changed. Peterson was defeated by Greg Ballard for mayor and Glass returned to his law practice. Attorney Jack Swarbrick, who had worked with Glass on the first bid, remained with the bid committee and he was joined by Mark Miles, who had served as general chairman of the 1987 Pan American Games before leaving to run the men’s professional tennis tour. Miles had returned to the city to direct the Central Indiana Corporate Partnership. There wasn’t much reason to overhaul the previous year’s bid, but as the presentation neared, Miles sought an element he thought could put it over the top. He remembered a presentation he had heard from former NBA star and now Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson, who told of a neighborhood revitalization program he had started in the California capitol. The seed planted, two weeks later Miles was in his office when “out of the blue,” he received an email from Taft, who introduced himself and LISC and said, “You know, maybe the Super Bowl Host Committee could help a neighborhood.” Within an hour, Miles and Taft were sharing coffee and vision at a downtown Starbucks. Subsequent conversations took place

LEGACY PROJECT with the Boner Center’s Taylor and residents and leaders of the Near Eastside Task Force. Both sides agreed this would not be a case of the National Football League and the Super Bowl Host Committee swooping in to (A) tell the residents their revitalization business or (B) grandstand and take credit for it. Yet all recognized that the power of the NFL, the name of the Super Bowl and the reach of the Host Committee could help. Thus, when Indianapolis went to present its bid in Atlanta in May 2008 for the 2012 game, its 15-minute presentation consisted of just two speakers: Miles, outlining many of the highlights (including event experience, infrastructure, and stadium) featured in the 2007 bid, and IPS Superintendent Eugene White addressing the Near Eastside Legacy Project and how it could positively impact the lives of as many as 40,000 residents and children.
52 SB XLVI
“The scale and scope of that project was unlike anything ever seen with the Super Bowl because the number of people that it would impact is enormous,” says Frank Supovitz, NFL’s Senior Vice President of Events. “That was something that became immediately apparent.” A short time later, Indianapolis had the 2012 Super Bowl and the headline in The Indianapolis Star the next morning boldly proclaimed “It’s Ours! Near Eastside Legacy Project Helps City Clinch 1st Super Bowl”. Revitalization work on the Near Eastside continued with new impetus and an amplified voice to be used to attract partners and capital to help realize the neighborhood vision. The Host Committee produced nearly three quarters of a million dollars to pay the salaries of three staff members, each with deep roots in the neighborhood, to oversee
the Legacy Project and to support a growing contingent of neighborhood-based organizations. Committees were formed pairing the leaders from the neighborhood with leaders within the civic and corporate community. Federal grants totaling more than $9 million were secured for housing revitalization, numerous financial institutions stepped forward as partners, Lilly Endowment gave $5.5 million, and United Way gave $1 million. “There is $150 million invested so far and I thought $100 million was a pipe dream,” said Miles. In and around St. Clair Place, the focus of much of the housing revitalization effort, new affordable housing options for senior and low income residents abound. More than 30 formerly vacant and abandoned homes have been rehabbed. Not only are longtime residents encouraged and assisted to remain, but

chestra, all signed on to do more than 200 hours of programming a week. We’ll have a multimedia lab. This is huge for our neighborhood,” he adds. The Chase Legacy Center will provide wellness and fitness programming, with help from students and faculty of Indiana University– Purdue University Indianapolis’ School of Physical Education. Nearby, the artificial field turf from the NFC Practice Facility (at the University of Indianapolis) will be moved to the Arsenal Technical High School field after the Super Bowl, and that school’s track will be resurfaced.

as well as multiple programs for today’s residents and those in the years to come. “We’re a neighborhood of 40,000 people, almost twice the size of Plainfield, yet we don’t have a YMCA or a Boy’s and Girl’s Club in our community,” says Taylor. “We have no real center of gravity when it comes to providing programs at scale for young people in our neighborhood. (The YET) gives us that.” “We have Big Brothers/Big Sisters, Young Audiences, the Indianapolis Children’s Choir, the Y, even the Indianapolis Symphony Or-
54 SB XLVI
Besides the buildings and infrastructure, something just as important will be left behind: relationships and changed perceptions. “The Legacy Project has created relationships and developed partnerships that we never had originally envisioned,” says Taylor. “And perceptions are changing about the Near Eastside. Before this, nine times out of 10 when we were in the newspaper, it was something bad happening. Nowadays, nine times out of 10 it’s something good.” Which was the goal all along. The Super
Bowl needs to be about more than the game. Miles says that’s something he learned from attorney and former Indiana Supreme Court Justice Theodore (Ted) Boehm. “Ted always said that you have to have a value for the community that doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with the athletic event,” says Miles. “It needs to have relevance and significance for people over time well beyond the sporting event.” Hanlon, who is co-chair of the Legacy Leadership committee, says that is what has happened—and will continue to happen on the Near Eastside. “The Legacy is much deeper than what you see physically in the infrastructure,” she says. “This will continue to unfold for years to come. You can’t put a price on what this has meant to us. This partnership is foremost. It’s like we’ve discovered an underground well that we’re tapping into. We’ve been immeasurably blessed.” What happens after February 5? “The same people who have been working on housing will continue to work on housing,” says Taylor. “The same people working on 10th Street will continue to work on 10th Street. And we will continue to run and operate the Legacy Center at Tech. “But each of these community organizations will have developed new relationships they didn’t have before, attracted donors that might never have heard of us before, and gained experience they never had before. All this will foster this work to continue for decades to come. “You know,” Taylor continues, “you can always judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him. Likewise, you can judge the Super Bowl Host Committee by this same standard. They had nothing to gain by partnering with us, yet chose to take a major risk in an ambitious endeavor that honestly could have failed. Once again, it’s what separates us from other communities.” Still, it all began long ago. “They had a clear plan, the leadership, the skills, the talent and, most of all, the determination,” says Tony Mason, vice president of the Super Bowl Host Committee. “Our hope is this will become a blueprint for the revitalization of other areas in our town if not for other cities.” That would be an even bigger victory than the one the champion of Super Bowl XLVI will achieve.

also new homeowners are being welcomed.

NDIANAPOLIS residents have taken a second look at typically blank walls on buildings along the city’s streets and walkways. Visitors may have already noticed sprawling artworks in unexpected places, too. The “46 for XLVI” initiative has commissioned artists to design and implement 46 murals, many within a mile or two from Lucas Oil Stadium or in the Near Eastside neighborhood, the home of the Legacy Initative. “We hope to capture the excitement and vibrancy of our city and Super Bowl XLVI, celebrate the arts, share the enormous talent of artists both local and national, and create opportunities for all of us to experience art in and around our beautiful city,” says Dave Lawrence, president and CEO of the Indianapolis Arts Council. The selection of artists and designs was done by a who’s who of the arts and civic communities: Julia Muney Moore, Blackburn Architects; Patrick Flaherty, Indianapolis Art Center; Jeremy Efroymson, Indianapolis Museum of Contemporary Art; Dee Schaad, University of Indianapolis; Jennifer Complo McNutt, Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art; Rachel Perry, Indiana State Museum; Gautam Rao, Butler University; Mark Ruschman, Ruschman Fine Art and Indianapolis Downtown Artists and Dealers Association Board of Directors; Mindy Taylor Ross, Indianapolis Cultural Trail; Jeff Martin, Centerline Studio/Primary Colours; and Quay Kester, Evoke Communications, Arts Council Board of Directors. Here are just a few examples: “SUNRISE” BY EVE BIDDLE AND JOSH FRANKEL, BROOKLYN, N.Y. FREEWHEELIN’ COMMUNITY BIKES, 3355 N. CENTRAL AVE. (NORTHEAST) Freewheelin’ Community Bikes has an “EarnA-Bike” program where area children can learn about proper bicycle maintenance and safety to receive a bike of his or her own. The sunrise, which includes bike elements, “symbolizes promise and hope for students and community members alike,” according to the artists’ statement. Biddle and Frankel also designed “Fly” under I-65 North at 71st Street on the city’s northwest side, which depicts rocket ships in various stages of lift-off and flight.

46 FOR XLVI Murals: “Served,” Service Center for Contemporary Culture and Community (above); “Dimensional Shadows,” 609 Massachusetts Ave. (left); and “Love Letter Indiana,” Canal—West Street (south) (below)
“DIMENSIONAL SHADOWS” BY EDUARDO MENDIETA, WEST PALM BEACH, FLORIDA 609 MASSACHUSETTS AVE. (DOWNTOWN)
72 SB XLVI
The image is meant to remind the viewer of water, while the artist explains it also represents “the breaking of planes—planes found in work, relationships and life,” according to his statement on the mural project website. It is also meant to depict “the importance of self-empowerment.” Other works by the artist can be found in South Florida. “LOVE LETTER INDIANA” BY JOHN DOMONT AND JORDAN DOMONT, INDIANAPOLIS CANAL—WEST STREET (DOWNTOWN) This is just one of about a dozen murals that have been painted along the Canal Walk in downtown Indy. It shows Fujin and Raijin— the thunder and wind gods of Japan—to express “the journey of human life through the four seasons and the inextricable linked connections between nature and the nourish-
ment found in our environment. ... The ultimate connection is to Indiana—the home of simplicity and possibilities,” according to the artists’ statement. John Domont has a gallery in downtown Indy to show and sell his work. Jordan Domont, originally from Indiana, is currently an artist in Portland, Oregon. Visit artscouncilofindianapolis.org/murals for artist information, images, and locations. The initiative is a partnership of the Indianapolis Arts Council and the City of Indianapolis. Other supporters include the Super Bowl Host Committee, Keep Indianapolis Beautiful, Lilly Day of Service, Indianapolis Downtown, Inc., Local Initiatives Support Corporation, Summit Realty, Sherwin Williams, East 10th Street Civic Association, Midwest Remediation, and Sunbelt Rentals.

“SERVED” BY ANDY MILLER, COLUMBUS, IND. SERVICE CENTER FOR CONTEMPORARY CULTURE AND COMMUNITY, 3919 LAFAYETTE RD. (NORTHWEST) This recently revamped auto repair shop opened in spring 2011 as an art gallery with educational opportunities. The image captures the spirit of the center and was painted, fittingly, by volunteers as one of many projects for the Lilly Day of Service 2011 in October. Another Hoosier artist, Clayton Hamilton of Indianapolis, painted the other mural at the Service Center, “Unite,” a “call to action” using mainly the words, “Unite!... For Culture and Community.”

that we were serious.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was an important element that the (Indianapolis) committee didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to go out and raise funds from scratch,â&#x20AC;? said Frank Supovitz, the NFLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s senior vice president of events. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most bid committees donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t start fundraising until they become host committees. Indy not only came with the full support of the business community, but they were already donors with the resources that would be required. That went miles in impressing the owners.â&#x20AC;? Miles, yes, but not quite far enough to convince the majority. Dallas and its billionaire owner, Jerry Jones, also was gunning for the 2011 Super Bowl. Jones was in the process of building his own stadium for his Cowboys, which could seat in excess of 100,000 and offer greater suite revenue. When it was all added up, Jones was able to put $20 million more on the table for the NFL owners. By the narrowest of marginsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;reportedly, 17-15â&#x20AC;&#x201D;the owners chose â&#x20AC;&#x153;North Texasâ&#x20AC;? over Indianapolis for the 2011 game. But even in losing, Indianapolis had made its case, convincing both owners and key NFL oďŹ&#x192;cialsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;in particular, Commissioner Roger Goodell and Supovitzâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;that if all things were equal (other than the money), Indy had what it would take to be a Super Bowl city. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I do recollect that in speaking with the Commissioner, Mayor Peterson, and representatives of the bid committee shortly after that vote that Indianapolis should put its hat in the ring again,â&#x20AC;? says Supovitz. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We actually said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Please compete for another Super Bowl and please take the time, money, and energy one more timeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; because there was so much support for Indianapolis, for the Colts and for the building of Lucas Oil Stadium.â&#x20AC;? The support for the Colts was personiďŹ ed by their owner, Irsay. Since taking over the team after the passing of his father, Robert, in 1997, Irsay has earned league-wide respect from his peers.
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 28
â&#x20AC;&#x153;The ownership situation for a bid city is important in the mix of all the issues and the Colts, under Jim, have built a high-quality, excellent organization that is kind of the poster child for the NFLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success in smaller or medium-sized markets,â&#x20AC;? says Miles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Your owner has to help you get the votes no matter what the bidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attributes might be and Jimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goodwill and positive relationships among the ownership was really important.â&#x20AC;? Glass echoes Milesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sentiments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The untold story is the great contribution and assistance of the Colts and Jim Irsay,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jim was all-in from Day One and I think the other owners admired him as a small-market guy ďŹ ghting for his city.â&#x20AC;? Still, Indy had come up short with votes. So while Irsay went back to persuading his fellow owners, the Indianapolis team regrouped and refocused on a bid for 2012 Super Bowl. But it had to overcome an obstacle, and then take advantage of an opportunity. The obstacle was two-fold. That fall, the economic recession hit. Shortly thereafter, Peterson was defeated in the mayoral election by political newcomer Greg Ballard. Then Glass resigned as president of the CIB and left to become the athletic director at IU. That meant there needed to be a new leader of the bid team, and he or she would have to go back to the donors to convince them to honor the pledges. There also was some concern whether Ballard would endorse the Super Bowl bid since that was a Peterson initiative. Miles, who after the Pan Am Games had left Indianapolis to run the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s professional tennis circuit, had returned to the city as president and CEO of the Central Indiana Corporate Partnership. He agreed to join Swarbrick in leading a second Super Bowl bid while Melangton continued her role in managing the voluminous detail work. Meanwhile, virtually all the donors stayed with their commitments, even in the faltering economy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember exactly, but something like $5 million of the $25 million fell oďŹ&#x20AC;,â&#x20AC;? Miles says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So we had to go back out and raise that and we did. In fact, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re up to about $26.5 million. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a community where thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as much a culture of corporate citizenship where our biggest companies and our small companies get involved. If they think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s civically critical, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do what it takes. There is a can-do attitude here.â&#x20AC;?

An attitude born of the eventual results. “Part of it is the track record,” says Swarbrick. “Every time we’ve made the case the people should invest in something, we’ve delivered.” Still, there were no guarantees that Indianapolis could deliver the 2012 Super Bowl. Miles and Swarbrick were determined to enhance and improve upon the 2011 bid, solid as it was. “We started out saying our goal was to exceed the NFL’s expectations,” Miles says. “That means doing the blocking and tackling, having the volunteers show up, have them well-trained, making sure the logistics are right, that the security works and everything else that would make the League go away from the game saying, ‘wow, those people are good.’ “But the more we thought about it, the more we decided we need to exceed our own expectations as a community,” he adds. And from that came opportunity … the Near Eastside Legacy Project, which evolved from discussions simply about where to place a practice facility for one of the Super Bowl teams into a full-blown partnership with a neighborhood that will change the area forever and impact residents and their children for years to come. There also was Swarbrick’s idea that rather than just mail the Indianapolis bid materials to the NFL owners, they would recruit 32 then eighth-graders (now high school seniors) to personally deliver (with their adult chaperones) the bid books in advance of the presentation. It was a very human touch that was exceedingly well-received. Finally, on May 20, 2008, at the owners meeting in Atlanta, Indianapolis again presented its case. Miles emphasized the city’s track record, its amenities, its convenience and its hospitality package, including, of course, Lucas Oil Stadium, which would open that September. And he reminded the owners that Indy’s $25 million commitment still was in hand. Then Indianapolis Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Eugene White spoke passionately about the Legacy Project. His message—that long after the Super Bowl had departed, individual lives as well as an entire neighborhood would continue to be positively impacted— resonated. A few minutes later, Goodell announced that Indianapolis would host Super Bowl XLVI.
“John McEnroe always said that he hated to lose more than he liked to win, especially when you’ve hung it all out, and that’s kind of the way I felt … relieved,” Miles recalls. “But for most of our people in the room, the feeling was definitely euphoric.” Euphoria that quickly was replaced by the reality. Now that Indianapolis had the Super Bowl, it was instantly time to get to work. Sure, there were the nuts and bolts requirements of the NFL contained in the two, 3-inch binders. “When you get the event and start to plan, you have a choice,” says Melangton, who was named president and CEO of the Host Committee in October 2008. “You can direct strictly from the bid book or you can choose to direct from the bid book and all the other things that would be good for your community. “In Indianapolis, we don’t look at that as a choice. We looked at it as doing what’s right for Indiana and that’s to do these other things that will touch as many people as possible,” she says. That meant enlisting a new, more diverse corps of volunteer leadership, which organizers hope form the next generation of such, just as the Pan Am Games spawned the last. That meant making sure that the Near Eastside Legacy Project wasn’t just talk, but action. That meant expanding youth initiatives to as many as 20 different programs. That meant an environmental initiative called “1st & Green.” That meant coming up with something so clever and creative as Super Scarves. That meant identifying and supporting a program that might, in time, save lives with Indy’s Super Cure, the partnership with the Susan G. Komen for the Cure® Tissue Bank at the IU Simon Cancer Center. It also meant employing a full-time paid staff that is Indy’s own Dream Team of sorts, a collection of planning, marketing and communications experts with years of experience in major events in the U.S. and around the world. Indianapolis has reached the penthouse, Super Bowl XLVI, “the culmination of more than 40 years of effort by so many people,” says Glass. But that’s no reason not to aim even higher. “We have gotten to the point where we are without doubt the market leader in sports in this country,” says Miles. “Now’s the time to leverage that position. With respect to sports, the future is faster.”
