Joe Flacco admits that he's a wimp who doesn't appreciate football.

Maybe they should follow baseball's lead and use the pro bowl to decide which division hosts the SB the following year. If the pro bowl meant something, it would be worth watching.

I thought about that, but is Derrick Johnson going to put his career on the line so the Broncos or Raiders can host a superbowl? I'd think he might throw the game instead.

That's the beauty of it, since they would be playing for the following year, no one knows who is in the game

I gotcha, but I'm still not sure you're going to get players to risk injury and cost themselves millions on the slim chance they make the SB the following year.

Would never work. Super Bowls are planned more than 3 years in advance.

I thought about that too & realize it would'nt be easy but, if baseball can get 2 cities ready, I think the NFL could get 1 ready.

Apples & oranges. Locals attend World Series games. Like it or not, Super Bowls are attended by out of town people (70,000+ of them) and those who aren't necessarily fans of either team.

The NFL also has two weeks worth of parties, events, the NFL Experience, etc.

ALL Super Bowls should be played in cold weather. Preferably with snow.

[Rain Man]

Here in Colorado we have snow machines for the ski slopes. Perhaps as a compromise the game could be played in a warm weather city for fan comfort, but the field conditions would simulate the weather in a rotating list of franchise cities. So for example, in 2015 the Super Bowl would be played in New Orleans, but the conditions on the field would simulate the weather in Buffalo on that particular day. You could add rain, snow, sleet, whatever.

I like this idea!

[Chief Roundup]

I would rather that the weather did not have a determining factor in the outcome of the game since it is the SB and all. The SB has become so iconic that it cannot be subject to weather. Most people would not be willing to set in the elements either. Too much money at stake to risk the weather.

[mlyonsd]

And to the argument part of it is for the fans to play in warm weather or domes.....I'd travel to the Arctic Circle to sit outside and watch the Chiefs play in a SB.

Ask him what he thinks about playing the Super Bowl in New York. I'm curious now.
