It's fairly simple, you ask all of the players/fans/media where they'd prefer to spend a week in February and you will hear lots of Miami/NO/SD etc. Plus how pissed would you be as a player if your reward for getting to the SB was to play a game in Buffalo in -10 degree weather?

Probably NSFW although we used to play it every day before work, so apply to your life as needed.

Sorry - the NFL is a business and is about profit, not fairness and charity. The NFL stands to make more $$ when the Super Bowl is played in desirable destinations.

For those who think the Super Bowl is about a football game, think again. To fans? Maybe. To the NFL? Hardly.

Having the Super Bowl in New York, in February, absolutely IS stupid.

I'm glad someone has the courage to say reeruned in 2013, and I'm not surprised it's a ****ing stud who chucks deep balls that win games like Joe ****ing Flacco.

How about the team with the best record in the game host it?

You're going to host a Super Bowl with all of the activities and events that go along with it on 2 weeks notice? ROFL

There's a reason Super Bowl locations are decided years in advance.

Just trying to think of other options. IMO not having a true home crowd takes something away from the game. It's just a bunch of fat cats having tea and crumpets. I want some upperdeck rowdies. All the bells and whistles that go with the game can die in a fire.

Football should be so cool that it shrugs its mesomorphic shoulders and points at a map and says, "We're playing the championship game here," whether it's in Chicago or Miami or Finland. Football should not be extending its lower lip and saying, "We only want championship games where it's warm and sunny." Cold and snowy are the womb from which Football was birthed.
