    If the Super Bowl was this week

    and everything ran as well as last week, would the goodwill of those attending and those writing on the amazing job Indy did be the same????

    Guess: still positive, but moderately less so.

    I take it the weather is slightly less welcoming to those from the warmer climes?

    If so, I'm with Ren. One point in Indy's favor is that you've built your downtown to basically be teed up for conventions. All the hotels are interconnected via (insulated) skyways, and it's all pretty close together anyway. It's one of the reasons I enjoy GenCon so much; everything is quite literally right there.

    It's not bitter cold by any means, and there was just a dusting of snow this morning. It's cloudy and cool (30s).

    So for those of us used to it, it's actually a very nice day, but maybe not so much if you're burning vacation time to be there. Yeah, that might dampen spirits a bit, but I think you're right; the vibe would still generally be positive. You all are just really good at hosting stuff.

    I think the only difference would be some hater with a press pass would be writing about how UNBELIEVABLY, MIND-BLOWINGLY STUPID it is to have a zip line when it's #$@$!@# COLD outside.

    Other than that, pretty much the same.

    It is not that the weather is "bad" just that last week the weather was stellar,
