Not only are we excited that Super Bowl Weekend is here, but Team BLASTmedia is even more excited because the big game is taking place in our hometown of Indianapolis. In honor of this fact, we’ve compiled 12 of the most interesting Super Bowl 46 facts we could find in effort to show off how great Indianapolis truly is. Have a look!
