INDIANAPOLIS (AP) – Super Bowl organizers in Indianapolis insist their plans have not changed. They still expect next year’s game to be played, as scheduled, Feb. 5, 2012.
But Wednesday, for the first time, host committee chairman Mark Miles says he believes the city would get another Super Bowl if an NFL labor stoppage canceled the game.
Miles and host committee president Allison Melangton spoke during a scheduled news conference approximately 400 days from kickoff. Both acknowledge the committee has blocked out two weekends next February as a contingency plan that would cover anything from a lockout to weather to an 18-game regular season.
Miles says league officials have not asked the committee to block out any other dates.
