That Cold NFL Super Bowl Thing

That Cold NFL Super Bowl Thing

There has been so much written and talked about the last week or so as it relates to the Super Bowl potentially being awarded to New York/New Jersey.  And now it’s a reality.  My question is this.  Other than the media, are there that many people who really care strongly about this?I’ve listened to all the arguments on both sides. The biggest one on the pro side being that football is a game meant to be played in the elements and many of the regular season and playoff games can be affected by the weather, so why not the Super Bowl.  On the con side there is the argument that it’s the biggest game of the year and that the NFL is now very much an offensive and passing league, so why allow weather to have the potential to screw that up.




Well, in my numerous years of watching the Super Bowl, there have been a lot more blow outs than really good, competitive games.  So are we really risking that much.  Or are we actually giving the Super Bowl a better chance for a competitive, close game than years past has?

And how many fans actually go to the game?  From what I can tell, it’s mostly corporate tickets and boxes these days anyway.  At the end of the day, I probably lean toward it being quite ok for an outside game in a cold weather site, but I’m really not that emotional either way.

I’d be interested for your comments to see what the majority of fans think.
