If you think there is less to do in Philly than most of the cities that have hosted, you haven’t been to Philly, or most of those cities. But that doesn’t matter. Even a place like Pittsburgh, which I hate as far as the night scene, should have a chance to host. They support their teams just as much, and in most cases more, than places like SD, Jax etc. Why should they never get a chance to host a title game?

No one wants to see the Eagles fans show up the rest of the nation with their passion and love for their team. Other fanbases would get too jealous.

BTW there was snow in Dallas that year, and he put all those poor ticket holders out in the snow on a big screen..

Al Davis still lives!

all of the cities that are homes to NFL teams put some form of public money to support the team and should be rewarded with a SB every 30 or so years.

heck i think that chance of big snow would increase excitement for the game, and lets be honest who really cares if the media guys and corporate big wigs who attend the game are inconvenienced

The 212 is not random. Last I checked, that’s not a Pittsburgh area code.

Funny thing is when Dallas hosted it in Jerry’s world, they had a big ice storm. Also Jerry got called out by the fire chief for having too many seats.

May be best to just keep them in southern Ca., the super dome in La, Arizona and Miami.

The fact that those two areas have the owners who are the biggest backers of The Great Roger Goodell Himself Live And In Person is strictly coincidental.

Speaking of, good for Jeter. He’s rubbing the genie’s bottle on the reg.

I’ve been to a Superbowl so I know what goes on besides just the game. All the festivities that take place are an integral part of the experience. There are other places that are waaaayyy worse locations because of infrastructure and location issues. New York will be horrible because festivities will be in two different states!!! Are you kidding?? In Jacksonville things were so spread out we did more walking then taking part in all the things there was to do because there’s no room around the stadium. However, Philly is actually a good location, logistically speaking, for a Superbowl. There is so much room around the stadium that ALL the Superbowl activities can take place right there in the sports complex.

Also, as another poster pointed out, all the naysayers keep saying weather could be an issue(most say WILL, but that’s besides the point) but that could happen in ANY host city. Any city could experience torrential rains, extreme winds, an uncommon snowfall. Yes northern cities have more of a chance of snow but the rain and wind are possible everywhere. Now, you say it doesn’t affect cities with domes…true it doesn’t affect the game itself but those attending still have to deal with going to and from the game. Also, as I mentioned, the rest of the festivities that go along with a Superbowl. All that stuff is outside so again, the Superbowl attendees will STILL have to deal with the weather, be it rain, snow, wind, or anything else that could be a factor.

Personally I so like the idea of going to a warm location for the game. Its nice for the attendees, it works for all the festivities of Superbowl week. However, that doesn’t mean a cold-weather Superbowl isn’t feasible. It just doesn’t make sense to me for it to occur in a place where the location of said festivities are so spread out and, as in the case of NY, in two different states.

I am the 99.9%. I don’t care.

There’s nothing bad about outdoor football in January that gets worse in February.

Except for a vocal minority, very few people want the SB played outside in a cold weather city.

Please, let’s stop the insanity after next year and use common sense in the future.

The SB is supposed to be a championship, not a funny ha ha spectacle.
