	BREAKING: City makes Super Bowl bid official Indianapolis will be making another go of it - bidding to lure the Super Bowl to the city, according to Indianapolis Convention & Visitors Association President Bob Bedell. The ICVA and Mayor-Elect Greg Ballard's transition team talked about bidding for the 2012 Super Bowl for weeks and have decided to move ahead on the plans, Bedell said. In May, the NFL owners voted to play the 2011 Super Bowl at the Dallas Cowboys' 100,000-seat stadium under construction in Arlington, Texas. The North Texas bid beat out proposals from Indianapolis and Glendale, Ariz., which was eliminated after the first round of balloting. City boosters emerged from the decision disappointed but not deflated. The vote in the final balloting was as close as it could be - 17-15, Colts owner Jim Irsay said at the time.
