Indianapolis isn't thrilled with Louisville's planned publicity stunt.

. . .the Indianapolis Convention & Visitors Association isn't about to cry foul publicly. It instead chose to land a subtle jab about hosting the Sweet 16 - an event that other cities would love to have. An estimated 30,000 people are expected to attend.

"We welcome the people from Louisville, happily, but if we had our choice of telling people about our city, or actually having them here to actually experience it, we'll take the latter," ICVA spokesman Bill Benner said.

Boom

Not really sure why Indianapolis feels the need to pick fights with Louisville…the playing field isn’t exactly level.

Although the Cards would totally take the Pacers.

We've developed a reputation

Jerry usually goes to some other city to promote Louisville, and it always rubs many in that city the wrong way. Last year, when he traveled to Florida, a paper there ran an article all about why people shouldn’t move to Louisville. Obviously we’re intimidating.
