Indianapolis anchors the 29th largest metropolitan economy in the U.S.[20] Prominent industries include trade, transportation, and utilities; education and health services; professional and business services; government; leisure and hospitality; and manufacturing.[21] The city has notable niche markets in amateur sports and auto racing.[22][23] Contemporary Indianapolis is home to two major league sports teams, three Fortune 500 companies, eight university campuses, and numerous cultural institutions, including the world's largest children's museum.[24][25] The city is perhaps best known for hosting the world's largest single-day sporting event, the Indianapolis 500.[26][27] Among the city's historic sites and districts, Indianapolis is home to the largest collection of monuments dedicated to veterans and war casualties in the U.S. outside of Washington, D.C.[28][29]
