INDIANAPOLIS — Gov. Mitch Daniels is headed to Miami for the Super Bowl, but it won’t be all football for the Indianapolis Colts fan.

Daniels will host about 300 people at an Indiana Economic Development Corp. event Saturday at a venue in the Coconut Grove neighborhood of Miami.
His schedule for pre-game or post-game activities on Sunday isn’t set yet. The Colts face the New Orleans Saints in Sunday night’s game. Daniels is due to return to Indianapolis on Monday.
