"What in the hell is wrong with this city that so much emphasis is put on hosting an event that costs tens of millions of dollars to host and benefits so few in the community?"

It's a huge inferiority complex. Indy doesn't believe it can compete against other cities on amenities, roads, quality of life, etc., so it tries to compete on sports, a field which it believes has actual meaning.

This perspective is horribly immature. Other cities don't care about sports to the extent Indy does. Real cities have real matters to worry about.

Indy is a government version of the loser adult coaching Little League who issues dugout orders to the tykes with all the seriousness of Tony LaRussa in the World Series.

Grow up, Indy. Watching sports is what you're into if you're into nothing else. People who are really heavy into sports often have empty lives.

Fix the streets, and build new streets. Carmel is building a great city with fast, wide, maintained roads, and they're letting stupid Indy pay for their sports entertainment.
