Indy is also a rail hub, with a significant percentage of the U.S.'s transcontinental train traffic passing through downtown daily on the CSX Transportation main line, and the suburb of Avon has a large rail yard that serves these trains, making the sentence "We got stuck behind a train" -- i.e. got stuck at a railroad crossing waiting for an extremely long freight train to rumble past -- a legitimate excuse for being late to school. Finally, to complete the transportation triumvirate, Indianapolis has a large and modern airport largely given over to extensive air freight facilities, which, combined with Indianapolis' position near the center of both the road and rail networks, has led to the the city becoming the regional freight, logistics, and warehousing center.

In recent years the city has become known in the sports world for something besides auto racing; the Indianapolis Colts (formerly based in UsefulNotes/{{Baltimore}}, a hotbed for horse racing rather than auto racing, though fellow horse racing hotbed Louisville is to the south of Indy on I-65) have become a well known football team after their win in Super Bowl XLI in 2007, and the city hosted Super Bowl XLVI in 2012 to mostly positive reviews. The city is also home to an NBA franchise, the Indiana Pacers, and the 2012 WNBA champion Indiana Fever, in keeping with the state's rich basketball tradition. Minor league baseball (Indianapolis Indians), hockey (Indy Fuel), and soccer (Indy Eleven) teams make their homes here as well, with the Indians playing in Victory Field, consistently called "the best minor league ballpark in America" for its nearly major-league park dimensions, incredible facilities, location in the heart of downtown, and gorgeous, picturesque architecture.

Though it lacks a major university of its own, Indianapolis is still a regional center for education and medicine, with a large satellite campus for the two major state universities, Indiana University and Purdue University (IUPUI), located in the heart of downtown; the campus hosts, among others, the IU School of Informatics and a branch campus of the IU Medical School. In July 2024, IUPUI will be dissolved and replaced by new IU and Purdue campuses. The new Purdue University in Indianapolis will inherit IUPUI's engineering and computer science school (though not the informatics school), and Purdue will introduce many academic programs from its main West Lafayette campus to the new Indy campus. The rest of IUPUI will become the new Indiana University Indianapolis, which will inherit the IUPUI athletic program. The city also boasts several smaller private colleges and universities (Butler University and the University of Indianapolis foremost amongst them), pharmaceutical powerhouse Eli Lilly, and major hospitals which include not one but ''four'' Level I trauma centers, two of them pediatric[[note]]Methodist Hospital, Riley Hospital for Children, Ascension St. Vincent Hospital, and Peyton Manning Children's Hospital at St. Vincent[[/note]] -- including Methodist Hospital, noted for its ability to put busted racecar drivers back together.
