They might regret it when they find out just how boring Minneapolis really is.

I don’t spend time downtown but I know most of it is connected by skyways so you don’t even have to go outside to get around the city… I’d love to see a superbowl here so we can get some money back from the stadium we just put a half a billion dollars into…

Why not? Sometimes it’s in Miami.

If I’m wrong, you can call me on it.

Exaggerate much???

September record low – 9-22-74 – 26 degrees….hardly low 20′s; hardly the week after labor day.

If they build a new dome, they should get a Super Bowl.

Never get tired of seeing the Pats thump them.

Downtown has probably 50+ bars in about a square mile radius. Not to mention, St. Paul about 10 miles away. With all the surrounding suburbs, there is more than enough lodging/hotels to hold a Super Bowl.

The best as far as dealing with the locals was Minny by a country mile. The locals were great, bars were great, restaurants were fantastic And extremely affordable, and even the wife agreed the area had the most beautiful women amywhere. The women all look like the Swedish bikini team. Tampa was fine and the Rose Bowl is the worst football stadium in the history of the universe. It made Cleveland Municipal look like a 5 star hotel. All in all I’d do another SB at Minny in a NY minute.

In February, the last thing I want to experience is more snow trying to get to and from the stadium.

Also since none of the players in the Super Bowl can attend the Pro Bowl in Hawaii this rewards them too with some balmy weather.

NFL rewards new stadiums with a Super Bowl.

@ irishgary-

Vikings played in 4 before they ever hosted one.
