If the Super Bowl was being played in New York tomorrow. (1 Viewer)

The experience for the people coming in to the see the Super Bowl?

Well New Orleans gets a lot of money locally from Mardi gras and the Super Bowl....Cleveland and Pittsburgh don't get that income so there may not be a party every night but that shouldn't stop them from having the opportunity to host

They are 2 great cities that represent hard working Americans and while there may not be a New Orleans level of entertainment, if you can't find something to do while you're there, it's your own fault

Cleveland has been rebuilding over the past few years. There is a huge casino and an aquarium....there are bars and clubs galore.

There may be less of a chance for certain people to make the trip there....but it will open up opportunities to an entirely new crop of people...don't forget that there actually are people that live in the northern states too


If you edited every one of your posts to say the exact opposite, you'd be a really good poster.
 
Practically our entire economy is based on tourism (we don't keep our oil/gas revenue). We need these events to stay alive.

NY doesn't survive on conventions like we do. Pretty sure Cleveland isn't a tourist base economy either.

Also, no team is disadvantaged by a neutral noise dome. Southern teams are most definitely disadvantaged by cold weather. Get out of here with that A/C effects northern teams nonsense.
 
when does a northern city get its due?

As soon as they can provide the same type of neutral playing conditions, which do not interfere with the skills that the best players have displayed all year long, and allow the fans (which truly pay their salary, and make the NFL a billion dollar company) to see which team is able to execute their game plan the best.

Games are played in the elements all year long, and every team has 8 home games. If they are not showing the amount of revenue that the NFL deems worthy, then they wont get a Super Bowl, period.

The Championship game is to see what team is the best overall, not which team can play the best in the rain, snow, 100+ degree heat, or freezing weather.
 
While it might be a discomfort to individuals attending the game and festivities up north...there was a time before the comforts of domed stadiums that the game was played in all types of weather....and in some cases...still is....those unfortunate to not have the domed stadiums...

I remember seeing Saints games at old Tulane stadium...braving some cold but not to unbearable weather...and loving every minute of it...and those were the not so great seasons at that....heck...the folks up north without the domed stadiums deserve the opportunity to host an outdoor event...a little drizzle or snow is probably nothing compared to what I've seen some fans endure for the love of the sport.....
I can remember sitting in the upper decks when it was 95 degrees and feeling like was gonna die.

As a kid the games with rain and/or snow were always the coolest, so I have no problems with a Super Bowl in New York.
 
It's a pleasant day here today. There's a dusting of snow on the ground and the temperatures are in the 30s with no wind. The stadium isn't that far from the city, about a 30min drive (except in traffic). The Super Bowl here is going to be amazing. Most people will be visiting Manhattan where there is no shortage of things to do and sites to see and then moving on to NJ for game day.

Personally, I love outdoor games. I think football is meant to be played in the elements. That's why football is for grownups and baseball is for children. :ezbill: I know I won't win any brownie points here, but I always hoped the Saints would one day have an open air stadium or at least a retractable roof. That said, the pictures of the dome from this weekend are gorgeous.

I went to the Saints vs Redskins game in 2008. Never again will I attend a football game in an outdoor stadium if it's hot. I never stopped sweating the entire time. And I mean pouring sweat. Drinking Jack and Coke wasn't helping, but I gots to get loud for my Saints, and anybody that knows me knows that I'm VERY VERY loud. I was measured at 101 decibels.

Count me out of going to MetLife in the winter. I would freeze, an agonizing inch by inch death. Even my Saints would be supported from nice MS weather. I went to one cold weather game in my life - no snow, just cold. When my ears, lips, and fingers started turning blue I was rushed to a medical facity that packed me in hot water bottles until I thawed. Never again! (And I wasn't the only one in the room)

i thought this post was an appropriate post to respond to......considering the majority of the country agreed with my stance....all except for 1 state
