Nice! So our fifth straight Super Bowl win will be at home.

HELL YES!

I'll believe it when I see it. I don't like the idea anyway.

[faba]

I have been saying this for awhile now-there is no way they pass up a new stadium in the biggest media market IMO.

Exactly.

It'll be cold. Who cares? Play football how it's meant to be played. Everything else is a perfect fit. Huge, beautiful stadium in a big money media market. Awesome.

I don't like it either. I would hate to be the losing team to lose because of some fluke play because of the weather. No telling if that team (losing team) would have redemption in the next 4 decades or so if you get my drift.

Exactly. Just play the friggin' thing in South Florida or a dome like it's done every year. No need to break up something that is perfect.

Says the girl who lives in FLA where temps never dip below 35 - which would be downright tropical in the Northeast in February. This has cluster eff written all over it. Goodell is a moron.

SB's should be in New Orleans and Miami - screw the other venues. Jacksonville sucked. Houston sucked. 'zona sucked. NJ will suck....especially in the winter. People are reluctant to purchase pricey PSL's - good luck selling pricey sb ticks in the middle of winter. I can see it now: everyone enjoying NYC and all it has to offer....and blowing off the game. Instead, midtown bars will rake in the dough as the visitors imbibe and eat in the warmth of an indoor pub.

[slats]

It's definitely going to happen. I've felt that way all along. You don't change the rules to allow for the bid unless you plan on accepting it.

I think it's stupid, though, too. Should've spent the money to put a roof on there and had countless Super Bowls in the thing - as well as tons of other events all year long.

I'll be rooting for the blizzard of all blizzards just for the fun factor.

[kelticwizard]

If the owners are crazy enough to actually approve this boondoggle, it will be for the last time, believe me.

The average high temp for Florham Park, NJ on Feb 5, (the approximate date of the SuperBowl) is 38 deg. Then it slides down to 16 deg in the middle of the night.

So if the SuperBowl is held on an average night at the customary time of 6:30 PM, we can expect the temperatures to be in the high 20's sliding down to the low 20's by game's end. And since the Northeast has precipitation one day out of three, generally at night, there's a real good chance of snow.

And these owners are actually going to vote for this mess for their sport's premier event? They'll regret it.

[Maxman]

I have been saying this since they were allowed to bid. This is going to happen. They need to sell the naming rights to this new stadium. This is the best way to get that done.

I lived in Jersey longer than I've lived in FLA.

And that was how long ago? I have enough southeast friends to know that even two years away from the Northeast Winter softens you to the bitter cold.

I go to NJ multiple times a year. I know how cold it gets. I'm still all for the Superbowl up there.

Jacksonville did suck. Crappy town, crappy stadium and the weather was terrible. I wouldnt live there if you paid me

Houston was the best. They had a downtown central strip catering to foot traffic and light rail only. It was a Madri Gras like atmosphere. Reliant stadium is one of the nicest stadiums that Ive been to. I thought Houston did a great job.

AZ was second best. Unbelievable stadium, not a bad seat in the house. Scottsdale and Tempe were hot spots for drinks and dinner. Down town and out by the Stadium were fun as well. It was pretty spread out though.

I love how people that will most likely always watch a SB on the tube think a SB in NJ, in February, in a open air stadium, is a good idea.

Houston is a crappy town. You need a car just to get across the street. The service there is s-l-o-w. Reliant Stadium is very, very nice...too bad it's is Houston.

New Orleans is the best place for a SB. Yah, it's dirty....but boy, they know how to throw a party. It's a walking town too....open containers and all.

Is this a shot at Klecko? [and JiF for that matter]

I'm sorry, but if you think the weather will hinder SB tickets sales, you're a ****ing retard.

Houston has really changed Garb. New baseball and Aquarium downtown. Foot traffic only. Did you go downtown on the strip in Houston? 90% Pat fans 10% Panther fans. It was rockin.

The service was slow, they were overwhelmed.

A NJ SB will be a disaster. Woody and the Mara's paid off the right folks to ram this pending train wreck through. Watch, one of those 48 hour snow storms hit the Eastern seaboard and bury NYC.

[PatriotReign37]

JIFs my buddy. Dont talk about him like that.

[Kleckineau]

Went to one SB in my life. Niners / Bengals in Fla.

Had a great time but at that game It felt like the majority of the fans there werent true football fans and that they just kinda hitched themselves to a team or famous player to root for and came to town for the party / vacation. Not anything really wrong with that, but if the same still holds true, let them come to NY for the SB and freeze their azzes off. Most of us here have been to cold weather games and would know what to expect and could tolerate it. If its windy and the temp is in the teens at kick off or if it is snowing the place might be half full by the 3rd quarter.

Wonder if you'll have "special access" to Superbowl tickets with a PSL?

The common man? No.

The rich?

Yes

[R3V1S24]

at least its a shorter trip for the Jets when there in the SB

[Vudu]

Still think this is a silly idea.

Watch some team lose the superbowl because a runner slipped on some snow and fumbled.

[Irish Jet]

I think it would be a success. It's football FFS, it shouldn't be a sport that hides away from the bad weather. Snow doesn't ruin the game and as for a fluky play? **** that, both teams have to deal with it. If one teams deals with it better than the other fair play to them.

[kelticwizard]

I'm sorry, but if you think the weather will hinder SB tickets sales, you're a ****ing retard.

I think it's still quite possible the game will sell out, but what I am saying is that cold weather will ruin the game not just for the fans in the stands, but for those many millions watching on TV.

This is the NFL's, (and TV's), premier annual event. People go on and on about how much they like the halftime show, of all things. All of this builds up this one football game as the most important sporting event and TV viewing event of the year.

If you have a game that is clearly being affected by weather, that tends to diminish the game as the big showdown between football's two best teams.

As for the league's championship games being held in cold weather often, I would point out that when they are, the cold weather team earned the right to have it held at their stadium, where their team is adapted to the cold and the other team might not be.

The SuperBowl, by contrast, is a contest between football's two best teams, at a neutral site, with weather never a factor. The clash of the titans on a completely fair playing field, which adds to the specialness of the SuperBowl over the league championship games.

Play the game in frigid weather, and you diminish the game, pure and simple.

Quite possible? It's the ****ing Superbowl. Of course it will sell out. It'll sell out the second tickets go on sale. Are you crazy?

lmao

[kelticwizard]

You're right-the SuperBowl will sell out. It's even possible that everyone will show up. It's even conceivable that all the people will stay through a non-blowout to the end.

But if the game is affected by weather-whether snow, cold winds or freezing temperatures-the SuperBowl will lose it's specialness. And the NFL might not even realize it until a few years later.

Don't mess with the extravaganza.

[neckdemon]

personally i think a superbowl played in the snow would be exciting.

[Garb]

The fans experience in frigid temps, howling winds, wind chill, etc., is not optimal. As a matter of fact it will suck. Can't wait to see Beyonce shivering through the Nat'l anthem.

[Kentucky Jet]

I do too. Plus if it rains hard ( torrential) in Tampa, Jax or Miami, a team could lose on a fluke play too. The elements are part of football. They can not be controlled in an outdoor stadium. It is what it is. Now if the NFL says that all SB's should be played in a dome, then the elements can be controlled. IMO that would be pretty boring. GO JETS!

I don't know, man, It could work both ways. Some of the greatest games in NFL history have taken place in nasty winter weather. The league's taking a chance with thie joisey Super Bowl, but the weather could definitely effect the game in a good way - in a way where they look to have more Super Bowls in the cold. You know Kraft's on board in hopes of having one in Boston.

The league's gone soft in many ways over the years. This would be one area in which it could actually toughen up a bit. Not the worst thing in the world.

That would be pretty sweet. Plus there might actually be some football fans in the stands if it's frigidly cold with precipitation, and if that's the forecast for a week-plus before the game.
