Home of the Hoosiers, the Colts, and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, there is no shortage of activities for Indianapolis visitors.

Made even more famous by the 1986 Gene Hackman movie of the same name, the Hoosiers are legendary in Indianapolis and continue to push their way through to the championships. Even non-basketball fans will get caught up in the Hoosier-hype. If your Indianapolis flight happens during football season, head to the RCA Dome and watch the Superbowl XLI champs in action.
