Super Bowl XLVI List of Events

The Super Bowl is just THREE weeks away! What’s the best part about the Super Bowl being played here in Indianapolis? All the free stuff! Sure, the game is great, but what’s better than free concerts?

I’ve compiled this list of some of the concerts and other exciting events that are happening in the lead up to the Super Bowl. The main location for most of these concerts is downtown Indianapolis in the Super Bowl Village. The Village is located on Georgia Street, will be heated, and have two concert stages to create a nonstop party atmosphere.The Village will also house dozens of media outlets, such as ESPN. Without a doubt, this will be the epicenter of the 2012 Super Bowl.

The Huddle is another spot that will house numerous concerts. However, these are going to be geared more toward adults. It will be located on 130 S. Meridian St., where Nordstrom used to be. All events there are smoke-free, but you have to be older than 21 to enter. I also just learned that the ticket prices for each event vary, but you can buy a $100 pass that lets you into every event open to the public.
            
If you’re planning on going to any of these events you should definitely make sure you know where you’re going. Several streets are going to be blocked off, and they are going to change everyday leading up to the Super Bowl.

 I left out about a dozen big name parties and concerts because they cost more than $500 to go to. Those include parties by GQ, Maxim, Archie Manning, Playboy, and Rolling Stone. I’m pretty sure nobody that reads this blog will be going to one of those. If you are though, send me pics!

I also left out the NFL Experience because I didn’t feel like writing in for everyday. This is something the NFL does every year of the Super Bowl that I have heard is a “must-see” for any football fan. It will be held in the Indiana Convention Center from January 27th to February 5th. Tickets are $25 for adults and $20 for children. 

UPDATE:The tickets for all the Pepsi events and the NFL Awards show can be acquired here:
