This week, as 150,000 visitors descend on a new, vibrant district before Super Bowl Sunday, even cynics agree that the city has successfully shed its image as a bastion of boredom in what was once called “flyover country.” The New England Patriots are scheduled to face the New York Giants in NFL football's Super Bowl XLVI on Sunday, Feb. 5, in Indianapolis.
