NFL mulling Super Bowl XLVIII backup plans -- report - ESPN New York
Am I the only one that gets bent out of shape for putting it in the cold? Why does Goodell get to pick and choose the rules to follow? Isn't there a rule that the weather must be 50 degrees or warmer at kickoff to host the big game?
I understand that the NFL wants to promote the building of new stadiums, and awarding super bowls is a way to generate revenue to pay for them. But if they don't build a retractable roof then the people who paid to build it should be out of luck.
I hope there are major problems next year (without impacting the Saints) so they look stupid for doing this.
Makes a minor power outage look pretty minor, doesn't it? And that garnered a lot of media scrutiny. Can you imagine what would have been said if New Orleans had to reschedule the game instead of a thirty minute delay?...
