Host Cities
Just got a question about host cities for the Super Bowl as I would have assumed they would share it around far more but looking at the recent list there is a huge bias towards both NFC stadiums and Southern States.

In most European sports like football there is a culture and tradition of neutral venues for big finals yet with some of the recent choices there were always going to be a strong chance of the home team making it and stacking the odds further in favour of one side.

I noted that Arrowhead has not hosted in at least 30 years. Is that due to the trend towards the big States or wanting to showcase the shiny new Stadiums like So-Fi this year and Raiders Vegas stadium in a couple of years time.

There does not seem to be much fairness in the allocation but you guys are much much longer term followers than me so all insights are welcomed.

There are requirements the cities have to reach, separate from the requirements of the stadium.

The bottom line is this: Rich people don't want to be exposed to bad weather. With one fairly recent exception in NY, the game is never in an outdoor stadium, in a cold winter climate.

If KC were to build a new indoor stadium, KC would get a Superbowl. Shit, dome what we have.

Every stadium , every city that holds an NFL team deserves the revenue brought in from a SB. It should ALWAYS be a neutral site. Logistics is always an argument that holds absolutely no weight to it.
They can flex a game a week before and make a city a primetime game in that short amount of time, no reason a SB couldnt be the same way. Even more so that radio row now is mostly zoom anyways

And, it's more than just a new kickass stadium... it's a week long event now, so can the surrounding GEO support all that comes with it?

The logistics for the Phoenix SB were not unlike KC would be. There's not much out by State Farm Stadium. Teams had to say an hour away. Westgate is a great entertainment area, but that's it.

When they had it in Arlington... things were all over, downtown Dallas, Frisco, Irving, Fort Worth. And, then we had all that ice - that was awesome.

I guess that rules out places like Green Bay for not having the requisite swanky hotels for the high and mighty

I think they try to hold the Super Bowl in affordable cities that are easy to travel to, in order to support the ability of normal middle-class fans to attend.

I managed to type almost that whole sentence before laughing.

Clearly you have no idea what the city around a Super Bowl is like in the preceding two weeks.

KC is not set up for a super bowl-sadly

Even in the 80's we had to stay in St. Joe for FFA convention. Not enough hotel space.

this is true - though I believe the super bowl has been in indianapolis... and I know KC has a much better nightlife/hotel area than they do......BUT.....

1. It has a roof in indy
2. You can walk to the stadium (and walk indoors from many corridors built from hotels to the stadium)

Everyone poo-poos downtown stadiums......so.....

The airport isn't up to standard for an event like the Super Bowl.
