Dozens of extra police officers will be on hand to help motorists navigate restricted streets and city buses will offer free rides to help visitors and workers as an expected 100,000 fans descend on downtown Indianapolis for Super Bowl week. The Super Bowl Host Committee on Thursday unveiled its traffic plan for the two weeks leading up to the Feb. 5 game at Lucas Oil Stadium. "We want to make sure everybody enjoys the event, it's a safe event," said Deputy Police Chief Mike Bates. The committee's Lori Miser said several streets will be restricted or partially closed throughout downtown beginning Jan. 19, particularly in the vicinity of Lucas Oil Stadium and the nearby Super Bowl Village. "Everybody seems to think that it's just a game, what's the big deal? It's more than just a game, it's a 10-day event," he said. Source: ProFootballWeekly.com
