The experience has been open since Jan. 27 and will remain open until Feb. 4. Tickets are $20 for kids 12 and under and then $25 for adults.The NFL Experience proved to be the visit downtown. [...]

Collegiate High School worrisome for students
Just over seven thousand people lived in the small suburban town of Fishers according to the 1990 census. Almost 76,780 people now live here according to the 2010 census.
