Indianapolis turns down NFL’s request to host AFC Championship Game

INDIANAPOLIS — The City of Indianapolis has reportedly turned down a request from the National Football League to host the AFC Championship game later in January.
According to the Indianapolis Business Journal, the City has declined to host the NFL’s penultimate game due to scheduling conflicts. City officials added that the Indy convention center already has a packed calendar.
The IBJ reports that Indianapolis Colts executives were asked by league officials earlier this week about hosting the game on either Jan. 28 or 29. The request came after a Week 17 game between the Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals was canceled.
The city, IBJ said, already has an event on its calendar at Lucas Oil Stadium, the proposed host site. This, officials said, would make it “nearly impossible” for the NFL to host a game there.
The already-scheduled event, a national volleyball tournament hosted by Capitol Sports Center called The Central Zone Invitational, is expected to draw as many as 30,000 people downtown, the IBJ reports.

Good. frick this BS that they trotted out there. Why the coin flip for just the bills and chiefs? Why not the bengals too?

I think Atlanta and Indianapolis were the initial choices.
Sounds like Hotlanta.

They must be testing the waters for going to neutral site championship games in the future. Having the host cities bid on them. Just like college semifinal and championship. Anything to make an extra buck.

Or unsuspecting out of towners attending the game.

Good. I’d tell the NFL to frick off too

arent there significant repairs going on in the Dome that would make it impossible to host?
Bummer

All 3 teams involved have open stadiums, so the leagues initial suggestion is to play the game in a dome? Sounds logical

The Bills won’t make it to play KC anyway.
Cincinnati will be there. Unless the Chiefs lose this week, the AFC championship will be in KC again.

That would lose a lot of bucks.

This decision is a hoax so the NFL can get cities to pay it to host the conference title game in the future.

New Orleans is available if the Bengals can make it that far in the playoffs

Did they book that mid-October? What would they have done if the Colts wound up hosting?

Dome probably not an option. Renovation restarts on Monday.
Posted on 1/6/23 at 6:47 pm to RLDSC FAN
Shouldn't it be hosted in an AFC stadium?

Don’t know if repairs are going on now? Seems like Dome needed to be available if Saints made a deep run

Guess not

Yeah. I don’t understand. Seems like NFL stadiums should be open that day.
I will say I think Elton John recently had to cancel a concert cause the Astros kept winning.
