Indianapolis Trip Ideas: Fanatics

A City Built on Sports

You go where your team goes and judge a city by its arena food. Your house wears your team’s colors and your firstborn was named after your favorite athlete. For you, Bracketology is a true science (and you claim to have a doctorate). If you live for buzzer-beaters, last-second field goals, and walk-off grand slams Indy has an adventure for you because you're not just a sports fan, you’re a fanatic.
