Gene Wojciechowski Can Stay Home in February

First Mr. Wojciechowski spends more than the first half of his article complaining about why Indianapolis shouldn’t be the host of the 2012 Super Bowl, but briefly inserts the following:

I’ve got nothing against Indianapolis. It’s a lovely place to hold car races, a Final Four, even an NBA All-Star Game every few decades or so. Plus, you can never go wrong at that downtown Steak ‘n Shake.

Nothing against? You mean like the first 10 paragraphs nothing against? Last time I checked some of the greatest teams in football were from colder weather locations. And each of those teams crammed out stadiums with fans who weren’t worried about freezing their butts off to support their team. Perhaps you would also like to outlaw any open air stadiums?

So, if you’re team makes it to winter vacation Super Bowl, then play the game and do what you were sent there to do.

Indianapolis will host one great Super Bowl. Now shut-up and do your job and report about sports. If I wanted your opinion on travel destinations I would have looked for your article in Frommer’s.
