Indianapolis (8383MF) is girding for a Super Bowl party that is challenging its small-town virtues. The strippers are already at work.
Rick’s Cabaret International Inc. (RICK) flew in more than 100 dancers to its Indianapolis club for “seven days of nonstop party action” from its Miami, New York, Minneapolis and Texas venues, Allan Priaulx, a spokesman, said in a telephone interview from New York.
“We wouldn’t bring them down there if they weren’t going to make money for us, and they wouldn’t go unless they were going to make money for themselves,” said Priaulx, whose firm’s shares rose 18 percent in the year ending Jan. 31, compared with 2 percent for the Standard & Poor’s 500 index.
National Football League owners voted four years ago to hold the 2012 Super Bowl in Indianapolis, the state capital and a center for amateur sports. The city has said the economic impact of the game between the New York Giants and the New England Patriots and days of high-rolling parties may be $250 million. It prepared with measures that include as much as $4 million in public-safety spending, a human trafficking law and what boosters say is the nation’s longest temporary zipline.

Then comes media day on Tuesday, followed by incessant coverage of events that normally you wouldn’t care about, but are covered by reporters simply to make it seem to their bosses that they’re actually working on Super Bowl week —so that bosses don’t wise up and decide to not fly them in until Friday night.
The media will make stories out of anything, and that includes your town. If the weather is nice and the food is good, expect rave reviews. If the weather is crappy, expect to be heavily criticized.
And that’s where this slideshow with the obscenely long intro and jokes about strippers comes in. Even though there are 31 metropolitan areas home to NFL franchises (I’m counting Oakland/San Francisco as one since it is the “Bay Area”), only 13 of them have thus far been home to Super Bowls, with that number only climbing to 15 by 2015.

What those in Indianapolis have failed to realize is that the solution to some of the problems the have’s and have-not’s are facing this week has been there all along. Only one person recognized the elephant in the room.
“Well, I’m a graduate of the University of Alabama so I thought the BCS worked out great this year,” Bailey said. “Of course, it probably depends on your alliance.”
The NCAA has none with the BCS, the multi-million dollar gift that keeps on giving to certain athletic departments and not others. The excess of the bowl system — right down to Fiesta Bowl president John Junker’s Strip Club bill — has been well chronicled over the past few years and, for the first time it seems, powerful people are starting to realize that something needs to be done to align major college football with the NCAA.

One of the only thing that Ms Long knew about Jen was that she was an exotic dancer at a nearby strip club called Rick’s Cabaret.

The baby sitter said the boy’s mother told her that she worked as a dancer and that she refused to return home when the sitter had a family emergency and could no longer care for the child.
“(The baby sitter) reports that Jen replied that it wasn’t her problem and that the child was currently (the baby sitter’s) problem as she was unable to come get him due to being out of town,” the police report read.
When police tried to contact Jen at the phone number she had provided the sitter, she told an officer to “quit {expletive} calling my phone,” according to the police report.
The officers said he heard loud music in the background and tried to call back but could not reach Jen.
The Department of Child Services was called to pick up the child, and police were unable to identify the mother after calling strip clubs in the area that the woman originally gave the baby sitter.

… A jury in September convicted Lincoln Plowman, 48, of accepting more than $5,000 in cash while serving as a member of the city-county council. The cash was delivered by an undercover FBI agent posing as a strip club developer.
…
Evidence at trial showed that Plowman solicited an undercover FBI agent to pay $5,000 in cash and to make a $1,000 campaign contribution for Plowman’s benefit. In exchange, Plowman offered official action and influence to facilitate the opening of a strip club in Indianapolis. At the time, Plowman was a member of the metropolitan development committee of the city-county council and he was also a major with the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department.
”Evidence at trial also showed that Plowman had previously accepted bribes from an existing strip club that was part of a national chain,” prosecutors said in a statement. “In exchange, he provided official acts and influence against legislation to ban smoking at clubs in Indianapolis. The evidence showed that the chain feared that legislation would become a model for other jurisdictions.”
