 Looking for something fun to do with the entire family during the Super Bowl?  I’m looking forward to taking my family to see just how the  Super Bowl Village will transform the heart of Downtown into a ten-day, three-block interactive festival of football. Below are some great ideas to get out and experience Indy during this amazing time for our city.

Here’s a look at some of the exciting features in the Super Bowl Village!

•A four-line Zip Line will run tandem down Capitol Avenue. Take a quick zip in your favorite football jersey for an unforgettable experience! Enjoy the ride for $10.

 •Two stages of live concerts featuring more than 80 local, regional, and national bands! Stay tuned to hear who will be playing!

 •Tailgate Town is a football fan’s heaven with tailgate competitions and football turf offering interactive game playing!   

The Super Bowl Village will lead to the front door of the NFL Experience in the Indiana Convention Center, connecting Georgia Street to Conseco Fieldhouse, a key downtown entertainment venue.   

The Super Bowl Village is a FREE, family-friendly fan gathering spot. It will be open from Friday, January 27 through Super Bowl Sunday on February 5. Plan to be there!
