Kevin Smith says 30,000 visitors had an economic impact of around $600,000 on the community in 2012. He tells Inside INdiana Business the arrangement among the city, the team and Anderson University continues to be year-to-year to “facilitate what's in the best interest for the Colts and their fans.” He says the 20-day event primarily draws central Indiana visitors, but he expects visitors to come in from surrounding states.
Smith believes the setup at Anderson University is “second-to-none” in Indiana.
Players are expected to report tomorrow, with practice beginning Sunday.
