Indianapolis, nice town, great stadium, but way too cold for championship football.

Ncaa should know better as 70,000 fans means you need outdoor space for them and windchills around 10 degrees is just not safe. Not very vacation like in the winter. Love the Indy500 and been many times but late May is mich nicer.

Though the travel was very convenient, there is far more to do in say, Nashville(if they had a dome).

This would be top notch.

I agree. Until someone other than a southeast based team makes the CFPNC, it should remain in the south. Plenty of places to do it.

Next year it's in SoFi Stadium in LA.

Whenever I hear a man complain about the cold, I take a look at his wife to see if I want her (sexually or for labor). Because I know could make her mine with little resistance

I didn’t go so tell me honestly did it really matter? I assume everyone was hanging out inside bars and tailgates not sitting in lawn chairs on the grass right?

Completely agree but not because the air is cold but because it leads to turf. Football should be played on grass. Always.

Indy was not at all prepared for the game. All the restaurants and sports bars were closed when the game ended and it was impossible to get an Uber or Lyft. They shut down every road around the stadium and security was trying to prevent people from getting in the Skywalk that was supposed to be the crown jewel of why this was “great to have” in a Northern city.

It usually isn't THAT cold. Winter has actually been pretty mild this year up until last week (40s-50s). The 10F is more of a freak accident than anything

I will say that Indy needs more restaurants and I'm surprised they don't have them considering they've hosted events like this before. There were several vacant dining spaces in the mall so could be a recent thing, idk. PF Changs should never be reservation only until 8pm though

I was making a list of my future vacation spots. Indianapolis somehow didn't make it.

My wife and I have a month long trip to Switzerland planned for December this year. Throw an extra coat on and drive on. Going to the Christmas markets!

Meanwhile, in Wisconsin:



Southerners can be such poons when it comes to winter. It's pathetic.

You sound like a complete pussy. Who whines about the weather for an indoor game after their school wins their first title in four decades?

Congrats to the other dawgs who aren’t weak pussies! Actually pretty happy for y’all, looking forward to seeing how both teams respond.

I also saw that the attendance was 68k. Why not have it in a larger stadium where more can attend? I agree no one wants to go to Indiana in January.

Why is the NCAA HQ in Indianapolis anyway?
