The Indiana state capital of Indianapolis lies in the center of the state and is easily its largest city with a population nearing 800,000 as of 2006. As a Rust Belt city, the Indianapolis economy relied on manufacturing for much of its history, but in the 1990s and 2000s it also became known as a hotbed for hosting sporting events.
