Yes the Super Bowl should really be considered one of the "Special Events." You might have a legitimate overall beef regarding Platinum Guarantees but I would pick a different battle than Super Bowl weekend when directing armed forces into battle. Room rates are really expensive that weekend in Indy, if you can even find one. And I've heard, but can't confirm the Marriott Place of hotels (Springhill, Courtyard, Marriott, JW and FF, which are all connected either adjacent or covered walkway) has been largely booked by the NFL.
