Cold weather Super Bowls on the way

Just ask Jacksonville...

The Minnesota Twins manned up and now have an outdoor stadium to play baseball in, even though Minnesota doesn't get warm until June. If they can bundle up and play baseball, then a bunch of execs and VIPs can do the same to watch football the way it was intended.

However, I personally don't care if the Super Bowl is played in a warm weather city or cold weather open air stadium. But, between San Diego, Phoenix, Houston, New Orleans, Miami and Tampa, you have 6 decent cites to rotate the Super Bowl. Hell, you could even throw LA in there once one of the current teams move there.

A lot of folks not only go to the game, but see it as a vacation, like the college bowl crowd does. Do you really want to pay a ton of $ to see an overhyped game and freezing your ass off for an extended weekend or week? Do you want to go to sunny San Diego or freezing Detroit? Phoenix or Buffalo? Miami or Cleveland? Not much of a decision is it.?
