Better luck next time?

Dallas won the 2011 Super Bowl by a narrow vote, but was it close enough to give Indianapolis a leg up to win the 2012 game? The experts think Indy should give it a shot. Check out this story from Indianapolis Business Journal:

City boosters emerged after the decision disappointed but not deflated. The vote in the final balloting was as close as it could be-17-15, according to Colts owner Jim Irsay.
Indianapolis held its own against a competitor with a larger stadium in a bigger market, factors that gave Dallas' bid an estimated $23 million edge.
"I spoke with a whole lot of owners after the vote, and this was close," said Marc Ganis, president of Chicago-based consultancy Sportscorp Ltd., which works closely with several NFL teams. "Even people who voted for Dallas said Indianapolis was close."
And that, he said, speaks volumes about the city's ability to win the big one eventually. His advice: Get back in the game as soon as possible.
