Indianapolis is sending 32 Indiana eighth-graders to NFL cities across the country to hand deliver its bid to host the 2012 Super Bowl, the Associated Press reports. The students will travel with chaperones — and carry large briefcases containing the city's bid documents — to deliver the bid to NFL team owners. The students will wear the respective jerseys of the teams they are visiting. They will be seniors in high school in 2012.
NFL team owners plan to vote on the Super Bowl site at their annual meeting near Atlanta later this month. Indianapolis is competing against Phoenix and Houston. The city lost out to Dallas last year in a bid to host the 2011 game. Mark Miles, who is leading the city's bid effort this year, said sending students to deliver the bid documents is a way to show team owners that the whole community wants the game. Superintendents in 26 central Indiana school districts chose students who are in good academic standing and will be "exemplary representatives of their communities."
