Thoughts from Indy

Just like everyone has said, Indy is a great place to have this event. Everything walkable - stadium, downtown, convention center, team hotels. People working were nice. Clean city and felt safe. There were homeless beggers, but nearly every city will have that. Ive been to San Antonio as well, and would have no problem having the final 4 in Indy every several years.

Curious, do any Uconn fans ever go to the final 4 when Uconn isnt part of it? Saw some Duke and Kentucky fans, but not much else other than nearby regional schools like Purdue etc. It just seems like a cool event to go to regularly, although the logistics and prices are a nightmare.
 
This is my third time in Indy for Final fours (2 for the women, 1st for the men). I like Indy, but not a lot there once you've seen the highlights. We decided to go after the Duke victory, and downtown was not available for hotel rooms. We stayed in Greenfield IN, home of Braylon Mullins himself. Went to the Depot bar/restaurant in Greenfield, after reading the article about Braylon on ESPN. Def a UConn bar; Monday they told us to come early as it would be full of UConn (Braylon) supporters. I found out too late that I could have visited the high school gym from Hoosiers which was not too far away. Next time I'll go. We just drove in for both games; traffic was heavy in the construction area, but not too bad. I do love going to final fours; this year we stood for both games and screamed along with everybody else. It was great fun!

Totally agree. It's a perfect city for an event like this, I'm not sure what people who didn't like it were looking for...

Everything was an easy walk and stress free. UConn hotel was right next to the incredible soldiers and sailors monument. The state capitol building was right down the street. Convention center a short walk. Tom's Watch bar with a million TV's covering every inch of the bar a short walk. St. Elmo steak house is right there. Gainbridge Fieldhouse is right there. Slippery Noodle is a really cool place with great live music, great bar food and a cool atmosphere and it's right next to Lucas Oil. Shapiro's for great jewish deli food is also right there. Had a great lunch at Bluebeard.

We enjoyed Hyde Park Prime Steakhouse which is pretty close to the team hotel.

Did they treat you well at The Depot since you are a UConn fan?
