Unless it's the week of the 500, Indianapolis is about as much fun as watching leaves fall (just kidding ).

The internet has a ton of info on Indianapolis (but you probably knew that already and just wanted to brag about your tickets - like the rest or us do).

Actually, I really was/am looking for info and recommendations, since I'm not at all familiar with Indy and I'm sure some Indy locals troll this board. As you know, many hotel rating sites are filled with glowing recommendations (often posted by the hotel itself) even the real dumps.

Can't even consider taking the board mod - ever seen a REALLY PO'd redhead?

Can't say that I have, but I totally understand.

Just about all the downtown hotels here in Indy are decent, but you may find them already booked for Final Four Weekend...The Marriott you mentioned is also decent and is close to downtown.

As for the nightlife, Downtown Indy will be rockin' that weekend!!!...We know how to put on a party...we do it every year in May for 400,00 of my closest friends!!!...

The main concern is the weather that time of year...It seems that just about every Final Four we have hosted here in the last couple of decades, there has been severe weather at least once over the course of the weekend. And I'm talking severe thunderstorms and even tornadoes...

Have fun while your're here, spend lots of money, then get the hell out that Tuesday!!!... (j/k)

Thanks Boomer, that's the kind of stuff I was looking for. Already have the Mariott booked (less than I thought it would be for that weekend).

Coming in on Friday & out on Tuesday. Have been to two other Final Fours (San Antonio & Minneappolis) but never even flown through Indy, so that town's a blank slate for me.

How bad is parking downtown? With the usual downtown parking issues (I'd suspect) thinking of not renting a car.

Parking can be a bit tough during the Final Four, not so much from availability, but price!!!...It seems that most of the public parking fees went up dramatically for last week's Colts pre-season game, and no one is really sure why, and if it will stay like that...More to come on that...

And make sure you hit the "Slippery Noodle" during your stay...can't miss it, it's just 2 blocks down the street from Lucas Oil Stadium, where the beer is cold, and the blues is hot!!!!...

I hope my name was picked also. Enjoyed the Final Four here in Detroit last year, except for the part of MSU lossing. Should hear in the next couple of days.
