NFL sells the Super Bowl myth to host cities

Stadiums USA Radio

From Market Square Arena to Conseco Fieldhouse and now Bankers Life Fieldhouse, Rick Fuson has seen it all. The Indiana Pacers Sports and Entertainment President discusses the day-to-day grind of event management and how the Pacers have developed a true home-court advantage in downtown Indy. Also- how much did the city of Houston pocket in hosting Super Bowl LI? Not as much as you think, according to Holy Cross sports economist Victor Matheson. Victor looks at the exorbitant demands the NFL places on host cities and how Commissioner Roger Goodell is the one holding the cash at the end of the day. And- how does the Hartford Islanders sound? SB Nation reporter Dan Saraceni says, "don't believe it." Dan looks at the teams' issues at Brooklyn's Barclays Center and how the venue is struggling to maintain adequate ice conditions.
