but everyone, PLEASE take note, the game is being played in NJ, not nyc! nothing i hate more than watching nyg or nyj home games and watching the networks show video of downtown manhattan, like they are filming from the stadium rooftop.

and lighten up on the commish. the nfl is still the gold std for team sports. they play 16 games and make more $ than the nba and nhl combined. the nhl should take lessons on how to successfully run a league.

Corporate fatcats and those dorks you see in the stands sitting their to promote a new show will NOT be sitting in Giants Stadium in mid-February. All of those tickets are going on the secondary market for regular fans which is what this game is supposed to be all about. For the first time since the 58′ championship game (the “Greatest Game Ever Played” game), there will be a buyer’s market for the tickets instead of a sellers’ market.

If any of you cold weather fans ever hope to see a SB in your stadiums, you really should be rooting for a success of all successes for this one even if it means putting aside your NY hatred.

The odds of blizzard happening that week are low. No different than a blizzard in the Pittsburg, Denver or NE the week before. It really doesn’t happen often. Expect the worst hope for the best.

It’s still a fun idea to do once every 5 years or something.

Seems the worst part is having regional airports close.

To delay or play it earlier will also ruin the game for sports bars, people’s SB parties and the like and won’t advertisers want cheaper rates for a game played on a Wednesday?

Embrace the potential of a snowstorm or just keep having games in warm weather cities or domes. Personally, I kind of like the Super Bowl in a cold weather stadium. Why should the most important game of the year be the only game where bad weather is never a factor? Playing bad weather games is a cool part of football – embrace it. Not to mention that it also gives all NFL cities a chance to host the big game – which I think is cool as well.

Maybe with a snowy 22 degree Super Bowl, tickets won’t cost $1,600 from the secondary market (let’s be serious, unless you know people within the league, or you happened to get lucky with the NFL’s draw and/or the Super Bowl teams season ticket draw, you’re not getting face value tickets) for the nosebleeds against the top of the stadium wall. It will actually be priced at an amount middle class fans that pay hard earned money to attend games all season long they can afford to attend.

Mean while in Tampa, the skies will be clear and sunny with an afternoon high of 77 degrees. Instead of watching the Roger Goodell production “The Adventures of Holding a Cold Weather Stupid Bowl”, we’ll go to the beach and hang out, laughing at the NFL for throwing out common sense when they gave this game to New Giants Stadium.

And just before the first flakes start falling on the Saturday before the game, Goodell will announce that Denver Donkey Stadium will be hosting a cold weather Stupid Bowl in 5 years.

This is what happens when the league allows itself to be cowed into letting New York City host a Super Bowl. Roger Goodell has done some stupid things as commissioner, but this one is going to end up at the top of the list.

I hope it snows a lot during the game. It will make it much more fun to watch than any rain-filled mudbog in Miami.
