    Maybe this is a silly question, and maybe I've heard it another time and forgotten, but why is the combine at Indy every year? I know it has been for a while, but is there a reason behind it? I'm sure there's a contract, does anyone know anything about it?

    i can only guess, but i would say because it's indoors so you dont have to worry about the weather and it is a reasonably fast track(despite what agents tell their clients)

    centrally located also. Plus it gives the dolts an advantage and Code Blue is used whenever possible.

    You would either have to have it there, chicago, Dallas, or Houston. Chicago and Dallas are out due to inclement weather. So it's pretty much Indy or Houston.

    Well, I knew Code Blue would be involved somehow...

    Why only those cities? No Atlanta?

    Indy is centrally located and built their dome long before St. Lois, Detroit or other citues had.

    Also Indy is set up for various elite athlete testing because of their ties to the Olympic testing et al.

    Good logic, but does anyone know if there's a contract for the combine, or how long it will be there? I'd think other places would want it and would pay for it.

    Nashville would be a good location!

    i dont know why cities would be clammering for it. no public allowed, it's only been on tv for two years and there really isnt any monetary gain from it.

    I imagine the agents have all the hotel rooms filled up with their clients and their posseess and such.
