When you're comparing to a city that never sleeps, then yeah, you *might* have a point.

But you're comparing a city in the Midwest to a city that never sleeps, and you aren't looking anywhere near hard enough. Admittedly, I've heard that the Landing area near the arena is a place that maybe HS students don't want to go at night--even college students want to go in largish groups. But there are other places to go, within walking distance, that should be open. Like quite possibly the TGI Friday's over near the Capitol building would be open, some pizza places are quite probably open--and those are within walking distance.
