Indianapolis strike the right cord,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
The NFL relishes associating their Super Bowl with celebrity and glamour,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but the choice of Indianapolis as host for this year's game has struck a more authentic tone.
It could be felt already on Tuesday,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], five days before the clash between the New England Patriots and the New York Giants, as fans of all ages, decked out in the local Indianapolis Colts' blue and white colours,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], bustle around the compact city centre.
That didn't happen last year in freezing Dallas nor in past years have Floridian fans turned out in Tampa and Miami days before the game in local team jerseys.
The air of anticipation could also be felt among the 7,300 fans who bought tickets to attend Media Day activities at the Lucas Oil Stadium, deep in downtown, listening in to interviews on headsets while sat in the stands.
Yes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], there will still be Madonna for the half-time show,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Kelly Clarkson for the national anthem and the usual list of expensive, celebrity parties at the weekend.
But it feels like at the heart of this week, for once,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], is the sport itself and Indianapolis is a sports town.
The capital of Indiana,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 'The Crossroads of America' is home to the Indianapolis 500 motor race,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], has frequently hosted the hugely popular NCAA college basketball tournament and is home to an NBA team the Indiana Pacers as well as a century-old minor league baseball team - who like the Colts,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], live right in the centre of town.
The warm response former Colts head coach Tony Dungy received on Tuesday from volunteers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], bedecked in home-knitted scarves,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], was a reminder not only of the affection for the coach,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but also of the status of his team.
Dungy's Colts won the Super Bowl at the end of the 2006 season, beating the Chicago Bears with quarterback Peyton Manning named the Most Valuable Player.
'At it's core, Indianapolis is still a basketball city, always has been and always will be. But since Peyton Manning showed up in '98,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], there's been a major transformation,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],' Indianapolis Star sports columnist Bob Kravitz said.
