TWC/AP reports: NFL Ready to Take on the Weather in Super Bowl

Also I think the comments about "playing in pristine elements as the only way to settle a championship" are pure rubbish. Football is an outdoor sport (whose outdoor feel is sometimes simulated inside). A true champion should be the one that can win under any conditions, not just ideal conditions.

Baseball is an outdoor sport too. Not sure what that has to do with anything.

Regular season games played in adverse conditions are fun to watch, but I don't think that's an appropriate way to determine a champion. On average there are maybe 3-5 games per year played in heavy snow (if that) out of a 256 game regular season, so it's not like teams are asked to do it often.

The biggest problem for me is that bad weather is the ultimate equalizer in that the inferior team has a much better chance of winning if weather impacts play.
