Five years ago Indianapolis Colts Hoodie , the league decided to take the ultimate reality show’s ultimate reality show on the road. Now, almost every destination wants it.“Indy’s got to get the draft,” Colts owner Jim Irsay said Saturday, via the . “We’ve got to get the draft, but to have that, we’ve got to have the hotels.”That last part is confusing. Indy has the hotels to host a Super Bowl; it did so successfully in early 2012. The broader challenge is that pretty much every other city wants the draft, too. And with each draft that draws massive crowds that don’t (unlike certain other massive crowds) need to be embellished, more and more cities will want the draft.Along the way, more and more cities will make more and more offers aimed at making the draft more and more of a financial gold mine. That’s the part of the process that rarely gets much play — the public resources devoted to attracting an event, with the expenditure justified by the thousands who will be staying in those hotels and eating at the restaurants and otherwise spending money at a three-day, open-air draft party.Even if Indy already has enough hotels, Irsay apparently has a habit of seizing on these moments to lobby for more hotels.“In talking to everyone in town, I can’t discourage the great work they do in making sure they book a ton of events and eat up a lot of our hotel space, but I think any time we have a new hotel go up downtown, it’s a win for the city, and for the state http://www.coltsfanshop.com/Bobby-Okereke-Jersey , and for the Colts, and Pacers and everyone else,” Irsay said.Eventually, the number of hotels and restaurants will hit a point of saturation, at which there simply won’t be enough events to generate the money needed to keep these places open. Besides, has there ever been an issue about Indianapolis not having the hotel space to accommodate its various big events?For the draft, which managed to thrive in Nashville without calls for more hotels, the bigger challenge isn’t coming up with the cash to build hotels. It’s coming up with the cash to get the NFL’s attention, because the draft quickly has become nearly as desirable as the Super Bowl.It’s impressive that the NFL has figured this out, even if it’s odd that it took the NFL so long to realize it. We often describe preseason games as meaningless, because for the most part, they are.But for Bears defensive coordinator Chuck Pagano, this weekend’s trip to Indianapolis will carry a different weight.Pagano was diagnosed with leukemia in 2012, his first year as the Colts head coach. And the support he received while there meant more than any cheers during a game.“I was only there a short time before I was diagnosed,” Pagano said, via Colleen Kane of the . “For that city and that community Parris Campbell Jersey , the organization, to embrace me and support me and my whole family through that journey, it just speaks to that Hoosier hospitality.“Living it like we lived it was truly amazing. Because they didn’t have to do that. But it just speaks to [that] there’s a lot more good in this world than bad. Really, really good people, and I was fortunate to be where I was at the time.”Pagano coached the Colts for six seasons, and the ties remain. He went back to Indianapolis in May for a cancer research fundraiser, where he was surrounded by co-workers from the Bears, and Colts owner Jim Irsay donated $1 million.“It blew me away,” Pagano said. “It blew all of us away. It was really unprecedented how in the National Football League, where everything is so secretive — nobody wants to share anything — two organizations [came] together. The generosity of the McCaskey family purchasing a table and supporting that cause and making the trek down there, it was unbelievable. And [it] just speaks to the people that own these two organizations, and the fan base and everybody in these two football buildings, to their character.“It was a night where both organizations put football to the side and we all came together for a great cause — and that was to raise money for cancer research.”And while Saturday’s game may not have the same meaning as that event, being in Indianapolis remains special for Pagano, and will continue to.
