| Re: Cold weather Super Bowls on the way NYC can be kind of brutal for short stretches. I was there part of Jan 2007 and it was below 0 with the wind chill. |

| Re: Cold weather Super Bowls on the way Look, if nearly a million people trekked here for the inauguration in bone chilling temps, you'll easily get 100,000+ for the Super Bowl. All the rubbish about Landover being a dump is silly. People will party in DC, MD, and VA and take public transportation to the game. One thing folks are forgetting, until the train crash a year ago, we we have one of the most efficient metro systems in the country, which goes within walking distance of the FedEx. Bring it on baby!!! |

| Re: Cold weather Super Bowls on the way But playing the Superbowl in warmer or indoor climates has never really been about competitive neutrality has it? It's been about everything else but the game, from appeasing the casual fan rich guys who can actually afford to buy a ticket to putting on massive pyrotechnical halftime shows (can you imagine what a chilly breeze would have done to The Who's arthritis?) One of the great things about our game is that it can be, and is, played in such a multitude of climates, and yet that variable hasn't been a part of the championship game in decades, for reasons that I contend have very little to do with football. |

| Re: Cold weather Super Bowls on the way My idea was for whoever wins that years SB the game will be played in their stadium the next year.Saints won in 2010 so the Super Dome would get the game in 2011. |

Thing is 100,000 will go to the game and 100,000,000 will watch it,I really couldn't care about the fans who pay $1500-$2000 per ticket who go to the game. | |

| Re: Cold weather Super Bowls on the way this is a horrible idea. anyone remember the 86 redskins and that championship game against the giants where the wind blew like 50 mph? or back in 07 when we beat ny and eli and collins couldn't complete a pass cause the wind was howling so hard. it's just too risky and if you get these type of conditions in a super bowl then the game could be a complete joke.

| Re: Cold weather Super Bowls on the way I love the SB being opened up to others. I have hated the "dome" rule from day one, and would love to see classic battles in crazy weather. It's not even about having one in DC, I just miss the drama that weather can add. Look the 2 conference championships can be played in NE or GB or any other cold city, the SB should be no different. |

| Re: Cold weather Super Bowls on the way I too have hated the "Dome Rule" - How many of the truly great games in NFL history have had weather be a component? It's 40 years later and we still talk about the Ice Bowl. Anyone remember the classic playoff game between Cinci and S.D. in the 80's (I think) - brutal! and yet a terrific game for fans. The problem of course is that the SB is such a HUGE event, bad weather would do more than just affect the game. I think the only reason this happened is b/c it's NY and, quite frankly, when it comes right down to it, there are just different rules for NY (Remember the Saints "Home" game in NY after Katrina- pffff!).
