The Big Ten has selected Indianapolis' Lucas Oil Stadium as the proposed site to host the inaugural Big Ten Championship Game in 2011. The league announced Thursday afternoon that it will begin a 30-day period to negotiate a one-year agreement with Indiana Sports Corp and Lucas Oil Stadium. After that agreement is in place, the league will conduct a thorough process to find a home for the game in 2012 and beyond. "We felt at this time it was important to identify a site for the first championship game and then spend more time with other cities and venues with respect to both our basketball tournaments and the football championship games in the future," Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany said.
