In your lifetime, could you ever see the Super Bowl being played outside in a cold climate?

Answer 1

If they put it in Green Bay, they could sell out the place in a day and it would be filled with Green Bay fans (NFC) and Buffalo fans (AFC) ready to cheer for both teams.

The reality is, the NFL brass are spineless. Even if the money was the same as hosting a game in the four usual host states (CA, AZ, LA, FL) or even MORE money, the NFL wouldn't do it.

If you can get it on TV, try watching the CFL's 2006 Grey Cup game held in Winnipeg (also known as Winterpeg): it will be -10C (14F) and 50,000+ fans. Hell, I've had TV parties with friends in that weather, watching a Grey Cup game *outdoors*: we bring out the TV and beer and order pizza.

You can bet Green Bay fans would have tailgate parties in January, but sadly, it'll never happen.

Answer 2

Great idea. Lambeau, Gillette, Orchard Park in January. Where do I get tickets. Actually, back in pre-Super Bowl days, the NFL championship game took place at the home field of the finalist with the better record. There were several games in Lambeau and the old Minnesota outdoor field where the Cowboys would come into town and everything would just go to hell for them. I think Don Meredith and Bob Hayes were removed in blocks of ice in 1967. Not really fair to the warm weather team, which today would include Colts, Vikings, Lions as well as the obvious Southern teams.

Answer 3

Nope, they have a hard time putting it in the north period, there have only been three (Detroit 2, Minneapolis 1) . It's all about the $. More opportunities to make money in the warm weather with outside things, restaurants, and bars. People are happier when its warm and spend more money. It's not just the game it's the atmosphere surrounding it during the two weeks prior. +

And to go to the Super Bowl can be seen as a vacation. How many people vacation to the north during the winter compared to the south?

Answer 4

The game of football is played in the heat, rain, cold, snow, what ever,and the big game should be played that way as well. I have written to the league that the previous year Super Bowl Champs, should have the opportunity to host the following years big game in their own backyard. Ex. Pitt should be hosting the big game in Feb.2007, all the elements regardless of what part of the country the team calls home.

Answer 5

Yes, in fact I remember hearing that Kansas City will host a Super Bowl in the next 5+ years in honor of one of their owners or something along the lines of that. So, unless something bad happens, then I will see a cold-weather Super Bowl.

Answer 6

hi you handed over the Phoenix section from 2008, they complained that the nights were too cool. i wager they concept Phoenix develop into warmth 24 hours in step with day, 12 months in step with 3 hundred and sixty 5 days or some thing. and that i examine that Peter King is already whining about the recent Jersey tremendous Bowl in many years. So no, the worthless shills contained in the media will by no skill sense free.

Answer 7

No never again will this happen. The reason because only rich people go to the Super Bowl and rich people want to stay warm .

Answer 8

No way. Not ever. The NFL is too sissy to do anything like that. There is some logic, but those are great conditions to watch, but it may favor a defensive team (like the Bears) over an air-it-out passing team (like the Colts).

Answer 9

No.

semi-related gripe --- did you know Taglibue didn't think having SB XXXVII in San Diego was a good idea? DESPITE every player, coach, and announcer saying it had the best weather (see, weather related) and was the perfect place to play?

I don't care if everyone thought he was so great, he was a jerk to my home town.

Answer 10

no all superbowls are held in warm areas such as florida and texas. the NFL won't put the game in a cold area because in Jan. it is like 4 degrees in cold areas. in New England it is about 0 degrees. it also draws a bigger crowd because it is warmer
