Nah. Indy is a country bumpkin small town shithole. F that place in the A.

Move it to Chicago. Major world city. Better restaurants. More stuff to do. LOT more hotel rooms and AirBnBs. Move it to Detroit for now. When the new retractable dome Bears stadium opens in the suburbs of Chicago in a few years- move it there.
So you think rising gang activity and murder rates would  be a civic attraction? Get in the corner adults are talking

Well, the brand new state of the art retractable dome stadium the Bears are building is going to be in the nice safe suburbs!

country bumpkin small town shitholes are a FAR better experience for most fans

perhaps not for the donors of substance that have more money than brains

friendly, appreciative hosts that welcome Big Ten fans w/o the crime and high prices

My ticket was only 95 bucks.  My friend lives in Indy and buys 4 every year the day they go on sale in August.  He is a Michigan fan and has suffered thru many Buckeye games there, so I'm still going this year.

Up until this year, Iowa v Michigan State was the 'toughest' ticket for this game in the 11 years or so, and it was the most I had to spend for a ticket.    Many years I've hooked up with some friends or business colleagues who have had tickets.   Street buys anywhere certainly becoming less common overall for obvious reasons.      Gopher Rock and I towered over a scalper for a bit and got a good buy for PSU v UW.  Shame, as much as I do like the convenience and ease of Stub Hub,  I relished the grind of a street corner buy.

I think the game does need to move around in some form of fashion at some point, despite the advantages I have in a 15 mile trip.  With few exceptions (Nebraska, Penn St), an easy hustle in for the participants and a high % of fans.  Indy runs outstanding large scale events, great track record of it. Compact downtown, easy in, easy out.   Always an outstanding vibe for it, its not an afterthought or drowned out by 57 other things.   No shit its not some stay and play week long vacation spot.  Its a CCG, total blow in, blow out 24-60 hr trip tops, whether its in paradise, Chicago, Indy, Detroit,  Cleveland, Flint, wherever.  I'm not 'hanging' out in Chicago in December any longer than I need to.   btw: I have no trouble flying to South Florida NS in/out of Indy.    Flying to the west coast on the other hand, sub optimal like every other non hub city east of the Mississippi.

I'm not opposed to seeing the game in Chicago at all or even outdoors, but when I think stadium, Arlington Heights,  I think about the absolute dud the Fiesta Bowl has become by playing out in Glendale in a giant freaking parking lot.   (a lot in common with Hard Rock imo).

On the one hand, that's a silly-ass way to define a city. 

On the other, Indy is objectively a fantastic place to host that kind of event, frankly better than Chicago for a litany of reasons (unless you want to make a weekend of it and go to museums or art galleries). If you want to get to town, eat drink, hang out with fans, go to a game, stay over, eat breakfast and leave, Indy is superb.

Absolutely. We could host the BTCG at Brown Field in front of 5,100 in  Manchester :( Actually, with the COVID-19 pandemic, the BTCG should be in an outdoor stadium, preferably in Kinnick Stadium, alternatively, in Chicago.
