Superbowl in New York

http://espn.go.com/blog/afceast/post/_/id/13774/the-new-york-super-bowl-debate This should defiantly be done. first off Miami and Tampa get half the Super Bowls anyway, 60-70 degrees yada yada yada. A Cold weather game is something we've never seen. Now I don't think this should be a every year thing or anything, nor do I thnk they should play it in Green Bay where it's like 10 degrees, but it shouldn't be a one year deal either. Also on other Super Bowl location related thoughts, what ever happened to a West Coast Super Bowl, where it's sunny for the whole first half? I'd like to see one of those soon.

i'm just glad INDY gets one in 2012 :)

prolly the last super bowl ever too :P

it would definitely make things more interesting, i'm all for a cold super bowl, even if it is in new york

No way. Nothing sucks more than going to a cold game. It's annoying, unless you are really drunk (in which case you will really see how ***tty you feel after being sober again).

Paying $1,000+ to sit in a cold game? Even worse.

Cold games are a part of football, and New York City is the greatest city in the world. I would love to see a Super Bowl in NYC.-Halftime-

They can play in it, but that certainly doesn't mean the media will like being there, or that the fans who go to watch the game are gonna enjoy it.

[QUOTE="monkeytoes61"] Exactly, these guys aren't little girls. They are football players. If they can't win a cold weather game, they don't deserve to be NFL Champions.

The cold really is not the issue for me but rather the wind. I live in a cold winter climate and the wind will effect a football game a lot more then chilly temps.

I don't like this because I prefer neautral weather. Cold weather favors running games more for example. Plus, snow games are SO boring anyways.

New Jersey Superbowl!

Hooray for awfully played championship games lol

NEW YORK gets the SUPERBOWL but the stadium is in NEW JERSEY... Its great and all but I dont know why they built the new stadium out of state and still call the teams NY :(. It sucks because im a JETS fan and wish I wasnt forced to go all the way to New Jersey to attend a game. But at least the NETS are coming to Brooklyn :D

It's okay to play every single playoff round in crappy weather, except for the last one? That's bullcrap. Football is a foul weather sport. If you want warm sunny days, watch baseball. If you want to be indoors with air-conditioning, watch basketball. Football is meant to be played in the mud, snow, wind, or whatever else nature throws at it.

Honestly I wouldn't have a problem if all of the NFL's games were played in domes (and don't tell me to just go watch the AFL if that's the case, because the AFL blows). It can be hard to watch games at Soldier Field because the grass there is in terrible condition more often than not -- a player can do nothing wrong and still trip because the playing surface sucks. Stuff like that can turn what was supposed to be a completed pass into an interception and end up completely changing the game.

And yes, I realize that I'm probably in the minority in thinking that and I know it will never happen.

Edit: After thinking about it some more, I guess my complaint is more about the playing surface than the weather. I don't like grass, especially Soldier Field's sorry excuse for grass.

Yes, but like Mike Golic said, the game are fun to play in, but they end up not being that fun if the weather gets awful.

I don't care if it's a little amount of snow. It's fine. Oh, and nobody here needs to use that "sissy" excuse. Every NFL player has played in cold weather..

Honestly I don't really think putting the Superbowl in New Jersey is great. A cold Superbowl would be interesting to watch but I rather the Superbowls stay in the south and/or indoors.

EDIT: Too late. Looks like NY won the bid.

Seabas989

Yeah it's official.

Well, Super Bowl 48 is going to suck.

Then again, the other choices were Tampa and Miami, AGAIN. I wish L.A. would get a football team back cause L.A. could host some Super Bowls, another good place for a SB would be Houston too... didn't Houston host one a few years ago? Patriots one, right?

They're building our stadium in City of Industry already.X360PS3AMD05

[QUOTE="X360PS3AMD05"]
I thought it was just "proposed," are they actually building it? Can L.A. County even afford it?

YAY!!! i hope it snows :)

YEAH, I'm pumped for this superbowl. about time they made out outside and in the North.

Cold weather games aren't bad at all. I will admit I'm canadian so i've watched vanier cups and CFL games in snowy novembers. Personally there awsome, and if "fans" don't want to brave the elements to support their team then their simply not fans.

YAY!!! i hope it snows :)

It would be great if that happens. They are going to give out hand and butt warmers to the fans from what I heard.

if they cant play the SB in cold weather, then they better ban any other playoff games be allowed in it. no more green bay, NY, new england,... playoff games starwarsjunky

I don't think any player has complained about this so far, so no reason to assume it either. Besides, every football player, especially in the NFL, has played in some sort of cold weather situation.

It all really depends though. When the weather is horrible, I'm not the biggest fan of it. When theres snow and a bit of chilly weather, I love it.

Thats from my personal football experience. I still loved playing football, but those freezing, bad weather friday nights just made it a little more miserable.

It's different for NFL players though..They have those warming fans, and all that other crap. I had some hand warmers :P

Can't use that for this

What teams do all season long is to try to have the best record so when it comes time for the playoffs they get home games and the advantage

The Superbowl on the other hand is supposed to be the one and only game of the season that is completely neutral, when all goes right it's supposed to negate any advantage by either team.

it doesnt bother me at all...its gone show who really wants it more.

No, the playoff arenas are set on what teamdoes better in the regular season, the reward is to have an advantage at home in the playoffs

In the Superbowl neither team is supposed to have the advantage

[QUOTE="Jaysonguy"]

[QUOTE="starwarsjunky"] but why should it be any different? all the other playoff games are elimination games, so shouldnt the SB use the same method to determine everything? and they would still try to get the best record in order to play as bad a team as possible.starwarsjunky
