The city of Indianapolis today announced their “official” bid for the 2012 Super Bowl.  The city has the brand new Lucas Oil Stadium set to open this August, and with the new retractable-roof the stadium would be the perfect site for the big game.  “It’s not just another stadium, it’s a very special facility,” said Colts owner Jim Irsay.  The city had tried for 2011 Bowl, but lost to Dallas’ new stadium by a vote of 17-15.  The deadline to throw your hat in the ring for the game is April 1st.  Three other cities, Phoenix, Houston and New Orleans are cities that are expected to try and land the game.
