The 10 Coolest Free and Cheap Attractions for Super Bowl XLVI in Indianapolis

If you're lucky enough to be mulling around Indianapolis this week, you may not have the luxury to cough up the minimum two grand for a ticket to Super Bowl XLVI. 

But fear not, penny-pinchers, economical Super Bowl festivities abound.

So, while Tom Brady and Eli Manning prepare for this week's main event with discipline, you can still rub elbows with celebrities and live it up in Indy—on a budget.

Jimmy Fallon Show Taping

News flash, Midwesterners: you do not have to brave Manhattan to catch a live taping of Late Night With Jimmy Fallon.

Jimmy will broadcast four episodes of Late Night from Indianapolis' own Hilbert Circle Theatre. Tickets are free, but you must apply for them.

The Roots will be tagging along, so feel free to tap into your '90s nostalgia while enjoying Jimmy's guests for the week: Tracy Morgan, Tim Tebow, Taylor Lautner, Adam Levine, Drew Brees, Snoop Dogg, Shaquille O'Neal, Bob Costas, Adam Sandler and Andy Samberg.

You can be a part of the hilarity this Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and on Super Sunday.

Mike Epps and Friends

If Jimmy Fallon doesn't do it for you, you may want to check out the "Mike Epps and Friends" show.

Mike Epps will enlist best buds Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa to perform stand-up for your pleasure this Thursday at 8:00 PM at the Bankers Life Fieldhouse.

An Indianapolis native and ambassador for Super Bowl XLVI, Epps is known for his hilarious stand-up routines.

He's also been featured on some hip-hop tracks, so maybe you'll get lucky and this comedy show will double as a concert.

Tickets start at $44.

Celebrity Beach Bowl VI

If you're looking for Indianapolis' bikini scene, DIRECTV's got you covered.

This Saturday at 1:00 PM, Victory Field will be transformed into a beach for the Sixth Annual Celebrity Beach Bowl.

You can catch your favorite sports and entertainment stars duking it out in an epic flag football showdown that may outpace Indy's main event in intensity.

Past competitors hail from the casts of Gossip Girl, True Blood, Entourage and Glee and include your favorite sports celebs as well.

Kickoff at 2:00 PM, Fray concert and trophy presentation at 3:00.

Admission is free, so show up early.

Zipline

Looking to take a tour of Super Bowl Village?

If you're interested in viewing Indy from 80 feet up, 10 bucks will get you a tour on an 800-foot-long zip line.

Swing by the Zip Line Launch Tower at 258 S. Capitol Ave. to purchase tickets and liftoff.

Need some motivation to conquer that fear of heights? Blue, the Colts' Mascot did it. Well, sort of.

Smokin' in the Boys' Room

If comedy shows, beach parties and zip lines are too fast-paced for your laid-back style, you might consider gentlemen-oriented Smokin' in the Boys' Room.

Stop by Indy Cigar Bar this Saturday at 1:00 PM to share cigars and sip bourbon with NFL greats (exactly which NFL alumni will attend is on the down-low).

The bar will provide its unreleased Diamond Crown Gridiron Great Cigar, which "features a select, aged Cameroon wrapper filled with 100 percent Dominican tobaccos."

Complimentary beer and wine.

Though $100 a head, it sounds like good bang for your buck.

Live Ice Sculpting Performance by Stars of "Ice Brigade"

If you're too cool to admit that you watch the Food Network, just casually stroll past "Ice Brigade" stars Randy Finch and Derek Maxfield.

But definitely circle back a few times to catch the action.

The pair will carry out live ice sculpting performances daily in Super Bowl Village.

Cost is free.

Super Bowl Breakfast with George Taliaferro

Looking for inspiration this week? Come hear the compelling story of an exceptional football player.

Saturday, George Taliaferro will host a breakfast at 9:30 AM in the Crispus Attucks Museum.

The Indiana University legend was the first African American drafted by a National Football League team. He later became the first African American quarterback for the Balitmore Colts.

The event is free, but you are required to RSVP.

Verizon and Pepsi Stages

While you may be unable to attend Madonna's halftime show, you can still get your party rock on at the Verizon and Pepsi Stages each day this week.

The venues will host free concerts for the public.

Notable artists include LMFAO, O.A.R., Sixpence None the Richer and Fuel.

NFL Super Bowl Media Day

5,000 lucky fans will get to attend Super Bowl Media day this Tuesday.

Journey to Lucas Oil Stadium to watch as media outlets from all over the country interview members of the New England Patriots and New York Giants.

You also get to see players sporting their game day uniforms for photo shoots.

Perks include a gift bag and the potential for a Joe Namath-esque repeat.

Tickets are $25.

Pepsi Super Bowl Fan Jam

On Thursday, Indiana State Fairgrounds' Pepsi Coliseum is the host to rock stars, Hollywood celebrities and NFL pros.

Pepsi's Super Bowl Fan Jam starts at 7:00 PM and features Gym Class Heroes, B.o.B., the All-American Rejects, Steven Tyler and Carrie Underwood (apparently Steven Tyler can't get enough football this season).

Though the event is on the house, tickets look to be sold out.

You still may as well watch for free on VH1.
