OK, we can’t be absolutely sure there will be football this summer (training camps and preseason contests) or early fall, but does anyone really believe that players and owners can’t figure out a way to compromise when $9 billion in revenues is at stake.

And Indiana, of course, has even more on the line than normal with Super Bowl XLVI (that’s 46 for those needing a Roman numeral translation) coming to Lucas Oil Stadium on February 5, 2012.

But the Indiana Chamber can guarantee football on November 17 of this year when Terry Bradshaw highlights our 22nd Annual Awards Dinner. In addition to four Super Bowl titles as a Pittsburgh Steeler quarterback, Bradshaw shines as a commentator, actor, singer, author, motivational speaker and more.

It’s always an outstanding business celebration (ask any of the 1,500-plus who attended in 2010), but it’s great to tie in to Indiana’s latest opportunity to shine on the sports world stage.

Check out today’s press release; more on Bradshaw; and a 2010 Annual Dinner highlight video.
