so whats' indy got:

Far less homeless people and an NFL team that matters to start!

The gretest spectacle in racing, 2012 super bowl, Heiron school of arts, a great nightlife in downtown and broadripple. I envy the Ohio river and KI of corse. The distinctions that distinguish the two city's is what makes them both so great in my opinion.

Good Pictures! But I have to disagree with you about Lucas Oiler Stadium, the stadium is beautiful, and one of the nicest stadiums in the NFL, Plus ask almost any Indianapolis native and ask if it was a waste of tax payer money, most would say it's not. People in Indy take pride in there football and they wanted something new and fresh, and thats exactly what they got. How in the world is Lucas Oiler Stadium more ugly then the RCA dome? It's the ugliest building I have possibly ever seen.

That is weird, LOS being a waist to taxpayers is all I hear about. Most conversation and what the news reports are "We just tore down the RCA Dome, and we are still paying on it. It went over budget, we did not need a new building." I also hear they are having issues with upkeep and renting it out. All I hear is the negatives? I will say though it is a nice looking building and it put the RCA Dome to shame, but it is gone now.

^^Usually complainers have the most to say and are the most vocal...i.e. 'silent majority'...

Exactly^^ I posted before what our state is really wasting the money on. Or well one city in our state.

Hey what is this rumor about "The Banks" what is it exactly?

^The Banks is a mixed use development on the banks of the Ohio River in Cincinnati. Once GABP was built and Cinergy Field demolished, The Banks was planned to go in it's place. Featuring Condos, businesses and entertainment venues The Banks would also feature a brand new Riverfront park.

Uh oh... it wasn't my intention to start a Cincy vs. Indy war...

And I'll believe in The Banks when I see it...

The Banks, sir, will happen, but GatorHead brings up a good point to help answer UKfan's question. The Banks for many is just a rumor. There have been so many problems with funding and constructions plans, for awhile the project was stalled. The completion date for Phase 1 has shifted from 2002 to 2004 then to 2006. Obviously Phase 1 hasn't been completed, however, The Banks is back on track and work has started to continue again, when completed it will help make Cincinnati's riverfront among the best developments in the nation.

Sorry Beaver, didn't mean to detract from your Indianapolis topic, just answering the mans question.
