Indianapolis hosts the largest single-day sporting event in the world, and it is not a football game.
The local sports scene
The scene
The Indianapolis 500 has been run at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway since 1911; the grandstands hold around 250,000 and the infield takes many more. The Colts play downtown at Lucas Oil Stadium and the Pacers at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, which was deliberately built to feel like an old fieldhouse. The NCAA has its headquarters here, and Butler's Hinkle Fieldhouse — where the closing scenes of Hoosiers were shot — still hosts games.
Rivalries that matter
Colts against the Titans, Texans and Jaguars are the AFC South constants; the Patriots series defined a decade. The Pacers' rivalry with the Knicks belongs to the 1990s and gets relitigated whenever the two meet in a playoff.
Where to watch
Georgia Street and Mass Ave downtown; on race weekend the whole west side of the city is the venue.
