Limo Service in Indianapolis, IN

The top teams in the country meet in the 2025 Big Ten Championship Game when the second-ranked Indiana Hoosiers battle the top-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes on Saturday. Indiana is coming off a 56-3 win at Purdue on Nov. 28, while Ohio State defeated Michigan 27-9 on Nov. 29. The Hoosiers (12-0, 9-0 Big Ten), who are appearing in their first Big Ten title game, are 2-0 against ranked opponents this season. The Buckeyes (12-0, 9-0 Big Ten), the defending national champions, are playing in their seventh conference championship game. A win virtually locks up the top seed in the College Football Playoff field for either side. The loser, meanwhile, remains an essential lock to be in the field and is widely projected to still earn a first-round bye.

Kickoff from Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis is at 8 p.m. ET.

INDIANAPOLIS — This weekend's Big Ten football championship game is a beautiful cream and crimson, scarlet and grey economic flood for tourism in Indianapolis.

As Indiana and Ohio State take the field at Lucas Oil Stadium, not only will the hotels downtown and in suburban counties be filled but bars and restaurants are being given guidance on the waves of incoming traffic they will see as the city is "bracing for an abnormal amount of fans," Chris Gahl, executive vice president and chief marketing officer at Visit Indy, said.

To the average fan who doesn't make a career out of economic impact and visitor analytics, it might seem as if having two teams — IU just 50 miles away and Ohio State in Columbus, a less than 3-hour drive away — would mean a dramatic dip in visitor spending.

"But from a tourism perspective, we could not have picked two more ideal teams to be playing in the Big Ten football championship," Gahl said. "On the IU side, it might seem like there would be a decline in tourism because it's 'a home school.' Could not be further from what we're seeing the data show, and that is a nationwide IU audience and alumni base that will travel for this game."

IU boasts the "largest living alumni base" in the United States with more than 805,000 grads worldwide living in 160 countries. And this season, those alumni watched their football team have its best season in history, going undefeated and ranked No. 2 as they prepare for their first Big Ten championship in the game's nearly 15-year history.

"And so people are traveling in from near and far to take part in this first-in-a-generation opportunity to see this team performing the way it is," Eric Neuburger, general manager of Lucas Oil, said.

Neuburger has heard a lot of stories about what this game means to the IU fan base, but one of the most poignant he heard was of an IU alum who lost his father on 9-11. That alum will travel with his uncle (his dad's brother) from California for Saturday's game.

"They have a special relationship with one another. They've had this special bond ever since (he lost his father)," Neuburger said. "And this is a huge opportunity for them to do something special together. Out of a tragedy, that football and the connection to Indiana and to the Big Ten Conference and to this game will bring them to Indianapolis this weekend."

City officials have not released official expected economic impact numbers for the weekend, but the game at Lucas Oil is sold out, and the stadium holds nearly 70,000 people.

"The ticket is a very tough ticket. It has been sold out for weeks and weeks and weeks," Neuburger said. And that, in turn, makes it possible for a record-making weekend for Indy with fans from both teams living within driving distance. "This is an opportunity for everyone to come downtown and take part in the festivities."

The city will put on an interactive Fan Fest on Friday and Saturday at the Indiana Convention Center. Bars and restaurants will be tuned into the game for those who couldn't snag a ticket.

"We're bracing for an abnormal amount of fans and visitors to arrive who don't have a game ticket yet want to be close to the action," Gahl said.

So far, all Downtown hotels are sold out, Gahl said, "and now we're seeing compression across Marion County and even out to the suburbs where hotel availability is dwindling and rates are increasing."

Airbnb and other rentals in Marion County are virtually sold out and "we are seeing an uptick in Indy residents being hospitable and opening their homes to visitors who are alumni of either team to come stay with them."

"All signs point to a really solid teetering on record-setting weekend," Gahl said. "Never mind the fact that IU men's basketball is playing inside Gainbridge (Fieldhouse) earlier on Saturday. The IU side of the equation will fill up the city."

But, he says, don't count out those devout Ohio State zealots, either.

Columbus, Ohio fans are regulars in Indy

The city invests what Gahl calls "hard dollars year-round inviting Columbus, Ohio, residents to come see Indy, a very mature tourism market for Indianapolis."

That means those Ohioans are familiar with the city, which is a lure to then taking the next step to travel to Indy this weekend for the game.

"And so therefore, we believe that will we will enjoy an uptick, an incremental uptick in visitation from Columbus, Ohio, because of the game," Gahl said, "and because they are used to getting an invitation from Indianapolis."

Once the Big Ten championship teams were announced, Indy spent money on another campaign targeted specifically to the football audience in Columbus.

"Even if they don't clutch a game ticket, come visit Indy, because you have a 20,000-square foot interactive experience inside of the walls of the Convention Center," he said. "And you have bars and restaurants that will be playing the game, and you can still see the marching band and be in close proximity to the game."

This weekend's game will be the seventh time Ohio State has played for the Big Ten title and a chance to go for its sixth championship.

"So they are no strangers to traveling from all over the Midwest and around the country to Indianapolis for this event," Neuburger said. "This will be old hat for them in some ways, but because of the dynamic of having a new team who's participating in this for the first time versus the experienced team, I think the fans are really going to interact well.

"And, of course, the colors go well together in Indianapolis as we welcome nearly 100,000 people to the city."

Losing Sauce Gardner now means that Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville Jaguars will have even more options to exploit this defense, with Jakobi Meyers and Brenton Strange being two major targets who could pose problems for Indianapolis. Pair that with how effective the Jaguars’ pass rush has been in the last four games (12 sacks), and you have Jacksonville knocking down Indianapolis and building an even bigger lead in the AFC South."

INDIANAPOLIS (Inside INdiana Business) - First American Nuclear, a startup developing a fast-spectrum small modular reactor for nuclear energy, is planning to invest more than $4 billion to establish its headquarters in Indiana and develop a nuclear plant and “energy park” in the state, the company announced Tuesday.

Indiana Gov. Mike Braun said in a news release that the move will bring 5,000 high-paying jobs to Indiana, “cementing our state as a leader in clean, reliable nuclear power.” The state doesn’t currently have any nuclear generators.

First American Nuclear, which goes by Fanco, is currently based in Richland, Washington, according to its website. The company’s headquarters are set to be established in Indianapolis, but a location for the manufacturing facilities and energy park is to be determined.

The company says the energy park will be the first “closed-fuel cycle” in the country. It is being designed to reprocess and reuse spent nuclear fuel on-site. According to Fanco, that will lead to 97% of long-lasting nuclear waste being eliminated.

CEO Mike Reinboth told Bloomberg on Tuesday that the company expects to begin providing electricity in 2028 by first using natural gas then shifting to nuclear power by 2032.

“In the flurry of America’s nuclear renaissance, Indiana and Fanco found a shared commitment to technical merit, authenticity, and follow-through,” Reinboth said in written remarks. “Collectively, our team has dedicated centuries to nuclear science, resulting in an unmatched nuclear solution that, fittingly, will take root in the crossroads of America.”

The energy park will utilize Fanco’s flagship technology, the EAGL-1 Small Modular Reactor, or SMR, which the company says is the only one of its kind in the United States to be cooled by a liquid metal alloy called lead bismuth. Its design also requires about 30% less hardware than other SMRs.

The company says the EAGL-1 design can generate 240 megawatts of electricity, enough to power 1.5 million homes, with a footprint one-tenth that of traditional nuclear power plants generating the same amount of power.

Indiana Secretary of Energy and Natural Resources Suzanne Jaworowski called the announcement “extremely significant” for Indiana.

“This is a great move for Indiana, and it’s a great move for the United States of America to be deploying a closed-loop nuclear energy park for the country and for the state of Indiana,” Jaworowski told Inside INdiana Business Television host Gerry Dick. “Being able to utilize what’s not been used in the spent-fuel cycle is a big accomplishment.”

Jaworowski described the jobs that will be created through Fanco’s investment as “generational jobs.”

“They’ll be manufacturing parts and pieces for their small modular reactors,” she said. There will be “construction jobs as they build their power plants, and then also the jobs that will come with the workforce development in all areas. The gas plants are usually online for about 50 to 60 years. The nuclear plants … look like they’ll be online for at least 80 years, up to 120 years.”

A spokesperson for Fanco said hiring will begin right away and continue over the next decade.

Braun has made development of nuclear energy in Indiana a key goal of his term, especially as the state’s energy needs continue to grow with the proliferation of large-load energy users such as data centers.

Jaworowski said the Fanco announcement puts a stake in the ground saying Indiana is the place for advanced nuclear development.

“It’s not just deploying nuclear energy; it’s also establishing Indiana as the home for manufacturing of new nuclear, modern nuclear,” she said. “And so we have taken our manufacturing routes as a state and been able to apply all the great things that make us a wonderful manufacturing state and put them to work for building the nuclear industry on behalf of the United States, and the governor is thrilled to be able to do that.”

Earlier this year, the Indiana General Assembly passed a bill to incentivize SMR development by letting utility companies raise rates to recover project costs on the technology.

First American Nuclear will be one of the companies attending the Global Nuclear Energy Economic Summit at Purdue University this week, where SMR technology will be a major focus, according to Jaworowski.
