Susan Williams Quotations

When the national media is here, they love this place. They love the way they're treated here. They love (the) convenience of the downtown. They always say nice things about Indianapolis and that helps us with convention business, sports business and business business. It's very important.

Kate has had a lot of amazing Ironman success so I knew she was going to be tough at the end when I was starting to fade a little bit. I saw at the turnaround that I had a mile on her, and I though that unless I really messed up I should keep the lead. I'm still kind of new at this and I'm always trying to judge my pace.

Sports as economic development has been a good deal for Indianapolis. It's now become a critical economic measure for our city, which we have to retain. Lots of cities are looking at this and want what we have.

That's been a very popular feature that we added a couple of years ago to the event and people really enjoy.

Course, you always have your eye on the furthest you can go. You look, but you don't look.

A little bit of senior came out in (McBride). We've gotta be ready to play. We're capable of winning.

They treat the luxury boxes as if it were a tailgate party.

Although I am getting older, I am not quite ready to stop, ... I am having too much fun.

I told (our players) at the beginning, we had a chance to host all the way to the state tournament.

That's real money. That number demonstrates what a market niche we have and demonstrates what the whole sports picture has become to our city's and our region's economy.

It's bigger, more corporate, more entertaining, more high-end. They're very focused on growing this thing and making it bigger and better.

Chicago is a great city. We think we're better, particularly for basketball.

If Hoosiers can't get enough basketball in Indianapolis this March, they've got an addiction that we can't help them with.

You can't win with one player. It takes everybody. We've still got some things correct. We'll work on that in practice. But it feels like we're coming together.
