Denver mayor, Broncos pursue 2018 Super Bowl bid
 
While it'd be fun to be in a Super Bowl city personally, it'd be very sad to see them pull this off where KC never has.

Denver mayor, Broncos pursue 2018 Super Bowl bid

The Denver Post

One goal that NFL fanatic Denver Mayor Michael Hancock has for his city is to one day bring a Super Bowl to the Mile High City, and steps are being made to do just that.

The Denver Broncos and Visit Denver in late August submitted an application to the National Football League's Super Bowl Advisory Committee to bid to host the Super Bowl in 2018, 2019 or 2020.

"We will pursue it along with Visit Denver," Hancock said in a meeting with The Denver Post editorial board on Wednesday. "I think Denver would be head and shoulders above any other city to compete to host a Super Bowl."

Unless they build a giant canopy over the field, I can't see this happening. Other cold weather cities like Indy and Detroit have domes. NYC doesn't, but it's New York.

According to the article, they're basically saying "If you let NYC do it, there's no reason why Denver shouldn't be eligible." It's actually warmer and drier here than NYC that time of the year.

No way a Super Bowl should be played in that lame ass Pile High air. It's bad enough when Pitt plays there and one of their better players can't even play.

The NFL didn't say that though, did they?

They said they wouldn't put a Super Bowl in the snow, unless it was in a dome.

And then they awarded a Super Bowl to NY.

Hypocrisy, pure and simple.

While true....New York is a bigger market and it's not even close.

FD 11-29-2012 11:26 AM

Letting it happen in New York was bound to open the door for requests to have it everywhere. Its ridiculous though. It should just rotate between Phoenix, San Diego/LA(?), Miami and New Orleans. I would have included Jerryworld but that turned out to be a mess.

I hope the biggest ****ing Nor'easter snowstorm that they ever saw hits NYC on Feb 1, 2014.

Then, maybe they will stop thinking cold cities are good for Superbowls.

Mile High Mania 11-29-2012 01:09 PM

If you can host a SB outdoors in NY, then few cities are off limits.

Quesadilla Joe 11-29-2012 03:25 PM

Quote:


To be clear, the Broncos and city of Denver are currently putting together an application for a bid to the Super Bowl in either years 2018 (Super Bowl 52 or LII) , 2019 (LIII) or 2020 (LIV).

The league will decide in about 10 months or so whether Denver is included in the bidding process.

Denver’s chances will initially hinge on how Super Bowl 48 (XLVIII) at the New Jersey New Meadowlands goes next year. But I would think snow or cold or unseasonably warm, the league would strongly consider Denver because of its vibrant downtown and relatively rabid sports fan base. Weather be darned.

I’ve been to the last seven Super Bowls, eight overall (my first was John Elway’s last game). It rained buckets in Miami while Peyton Manning won his Super Bowl with the Indianapolis Colts in 2007. There were heavy snowstorms/icestorms during the week leading up to the Super Bowl in Detroit in 2006 and Dallas in 2010. Detroit had a massive cab problem. Couldn’t get a cab. Dallas had a massive transportation shutdown. It didn’t even clear the sidewalks.

And then it was beautiful last year in Indianapolis.

I’m no Kathy Sabine but I’m forecasting a decent chance of single-digit temperatures for the first week of February, 2018.

Like not requiring KC to get the rolling roof passed to host a SB?

This trend to give games to cold weather cities without a dome will come to an end when people can't get to the game because of a blizzard.

Right now, I think the worst is in San Diego. They get in the rotation for Super Bowls because the city and weather are beautiful. But the stadium was a dump, comparatively speaking, before all the new stadiums started getting built. Now, it's unconscionable that they charge their fans market value to watch games there.

It's a good thing they have such a rabid fan base. Otherwise, their streak of consecutive sell-outs would be at zero.

Oh, wait. :doh!:

ralph wilson is the worst stadium in my opinion.

I think it has a chance. Most people have a vision of Denver that's equivalent to it being one big Vale, CO. Sadly, it's not until you get there that you see it's flatter than smooth glass, the mountains are a drive away (but not impossible by any means), has a tent for an airport, and has a city that's more like a run-down factory district, and something modern. But perception is everything...

He's the problem, their owners not a total F'n joke like ours. He's not stupid, and the rest of the owner community doesn't generally point at him and laugh like they do the Hunts (and tell them to go make the coffee). That's for good reason the Hunts 100% suck balls, and they are, simply said, stupid people! So I think their owner will make a case, it'll be accurate, and he'll sell it. They might just get it! They're riding the Manning wave, so it's all the more probable. And unlike us, they do the right things in the right years. They don't wait until a year after a good QB draft is done to go looking for one; they get one at the right time. And.....they get a call back from the good QBs in FA, not a "no thanks."

Clark Hunt was one of the leaders negotiating all the way through the lockout last year. I don't know where you get this idea. The dude was literally standing right next to Goodell when he announced the lockout was over.

I'm sure he was handing him coffee or something... Say what you want, but he's not respected for anything other than providing other teams an almost guaranteed/easy win each year. I'm pretty sure Kraft doesn't see him as an equal (but he might take two "Equals" in his coffee). He's in the club, his daddy made sure of that, but he's not as equal as the others. And his team sucks, the team he built (he's the captain of the ship, right?), keeps him from being respected amongst his peers. He's a silver-spoon trust-fund baby, nothing more.. LOL, doomed to success!

I'll rep you just because that was a WakeUpCall of sorts.... Like I told you, you're owner is better than ours! A LOT better than ours. Like your parents, you can't pick the POS trust-fund baby who owns you city's team. You guys are lucky I guess, us, not so much. We have the F'n Hunts!

Say what I want? It doesn't matter what I want. Hunt was one of a small group of owners who they put in charge of negotiating the lockout. That's a factual statement. It's not really something for debate.

Rain Man 11-30-2012 10:02 AM

I still wish the Super Bowl rotated between every stadium in the league. Cold weather games are part of what makes the NFL what it is. It stinks that they hold it in warm-weather cities so they can fill the stadium with people who don't really like football.

They're trying to get the 2018 SB here in Houston as well. The last one we had went very well. It was a great game too (Pats vs Panthers)
