I orginally thought that Hawaii should get it every year, but they already get the pro bowl, and their stadium is too small. I'd still go for this, but they need to renovate the stadium.

But then they couldn't rake in the future money (they think) by expanding the NFL overseas. Are you willing to build your Super Bowl Stadium in Paris?

They already tried that, it failed miserably. Don't you remember the NFL Europe?

What they need to do is have the SB in Hawaii, a neutral site, gorgeous weather. Sure the average fan will have trouble seeing it, but the average fan is going to be priced out of seeing a team's home games by 2014.

LOL...the actual center of the USA is near a town called Lebanon. Hey, that's sounds international.

The weather sucks in London that time of year. May as well play right here in DC in our our 90K+ seat stadium since the weather won't be any worse.

Is anything sacred anymore?

It is a gimmick to try to further make in roads in Europe with American football as the American market is sooner or later going to collapse, but it is going to backfire probably as Europe is in the same economic boat. England is going down the shitter faster than we are. It is going the way of Iceland. Nobody in jolly ole England is going to even think about buying a ticket, let alone care enough to even want to think about buying a $2000 ticket. If they were going to do a foreign SB, they should do it in Asia, where the money is going to be. Europe is on the precipice of 3rd world status soon!!!!

They were experimenting with international football long before the economy declined.

And "collapse"? Really?

RedskinPete · 05-05-2009, 03:27 AM

Just say no untill they get a full time NFL team! Then will talk!

The Superbowl should be played in the United States, why would we want to go to another country to watch the championship game to a sport thats played in the United States. That makes no sense to me, you don't see England having their Croquet championships here in the United States. Will someone please tell the commissoner that he can take off his dumb dumb hat now....

Very good point. Who else plays the regular season in one country then plays the championship in another?

To add to buster's post...lets keep in mind that the Super Bowl is almost like a national holiday for us, how can it be in another country?
