Indianapolis and New Orleans Museums Make Art Loan Bet Over Super Bowl Outcome

The usual story is that two governors will get in touch with each other before the Super Bowl and lay down a bet over whose team will win, and usually that bet will have something to do with the local cuisine, like a deep dish pizza (Chicago) vs. some sort of crustacean (any place on the southern or eastern coasts). It’s become an all-too-familiar-but-still-kind-of-sweet, easy PR stunt. But this year appears different. You pit Indianapolis against New Orleans and there’s bound to be some spread beyond the governor’s mansions.
