Week of 3/9/2025: Indiana State Fairgrounds' Big Evolution, Mobile Lung Cancer Screening, and Jim Irsay’s Iconic Collection


Listen Later

In this episode of Inside INdiana Business with Gerry Dick, we explore the transformation of the Indiana State Fairgrounds into a year-round event destination. With 400 events annually—from conventions and sports tournaments to food competitions—the fairgrounds now generate a $330 million economic impact. We take an inside look at the investments fueling this growth and what it means for central Indiana’s economy.

Plus, Indiana’s first-ever mobile lung cancer screening unit hits the road. We’ll meet the team behind this 40-foot CT scanner on wheels, designed to bring life-saving early detection directly to Hoosiers in rural areas.

Also in this episode:

  • The State Fairgrounds' big sports play: How a state-of-the-art indoor track is attracting national competitions and boosting local revenue.
  • A look inside Jim Irsay’s multimillion-dollar collection: From Bob Dylan’s electric guitar to Muhammad Ali’s iconic fight robe, we go behind the scenes with the Colts owner’s world-class artifacts.
  • Indiana’s role in March Madness: With 43 postseason college basketball games in Indianapolis this month, we break down the city’s economic impact and what’s ahead for 2026, when Indy hosts all major NCAA men’s championships.
  • The latest in Indiana’s auto industry: How tariffs could impact thousands of Honda workers in Greensburg, and what the future holds for the state’s manufacturing sector.
