The United States Olympic Committee has sent letters to nearly three dozen cities, including Indianapolis, in an effort to measure interest in hosting the 2024 summer games. NBC Sports reports the requirements include 45,000 hotel rooms, public transit and a work force of more than 200,000 people.

Other Midwest cities that received the letter were Chicago, Detroit, St. Louis, Minneapolis and Columbus, Ohio. According to NBC Sports, Dallas, Tulsa, New York, San Francisco, Chicago and Los Angeles have already expressed interest in holding the games.

The final announcement of the 2024 location will not be made until 2017.
