I am planning on going to Indianapolis at the end of this month for a football game, but am needing things to do for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Any ideas?

The Indianapolis zoo.
The Speedway has a Really nice museum.
You must go to the Monument on the circle!
This may sound weird or morbid but it is interesting.
Crown Hill Cemetery
Crown Hill is the burial site of such famous people as: Cemetery President Benjamin Harrison, Colonel Eli Lilly, 11 Indiana Governors, 1 Kentucky Governor, 14 Indiana Mayors, 13 Civil War Generals, poet James Whitcomb Riley, author Booth Tarkington, automobile manufacturer Frederick Duesenberg, and the infamous bank robber John Dillinger.
Dr. Richard Jordan Gatling, inventor of the Gatling gun, Robert Irsay, owner of the Indianapolis Colts
Stop at the Cemetary office they have free maps listing the more famous graves.
This is an amazingly interesting history lesson.
Also a way to spend a free day (take a camera I did)
See the websites below.

There's a lovely carousel at the Children's Museum. I love to go there and my kids are grown!
Circle Center Mall downtown has great shopping.
The speedway, home of the 500 has a museum and tours.
The Indianapolis zoo is a good time
The Eiteljorg museum is close to the zoo. Native American museum.
The James Whitcomb Riley Home, the Madame Walker theater, catch a race at IRP (Raceway park)
Conner Prarie is a village a bit NE of Indianapolis, set in the 1800's. Neat to visit.
Enjoy your stay...and welcome to Indiana.

Everyone has good suggestions! (but Union Station --where the train was) is unfortunately no longer. I was just curious what type of things you are looking for? How old are you? Are you with kids? friends? sports fan? foodie? if you can be more specific, i can suggest some things outside the box....

I live here, it's boring.
Trust me, the best thing here is probably Circle Centre Mall. It's pretty big, tons of stores.
Other than that, I can't really think of anything.
