tazinib1 Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Goes to NY/NJ, just annouced on NFL Network I would have called serious BS if Miami got awarded with another SB so quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh 0ne Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Not surprising, and no need to worry about the weather with all this global warming stuff that's been going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowboutthemCowboys Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I like it. It's football. If it's cold and snows, well that's the way it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myhousekey Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 (edited) Can't wait to hear "corporate america" bit*hing when they are sitting in a snow storm after forking out a truck load of money to attend. It's too bad the average fan will never be able to afford a SB in NYC. ETA: Was there really ever any doubt they'd get it? New stadium = Super Bowl. Seems like a simple formula. Hope its Miami vs Tampa in that SB. Edited May 25, 2010 by myhousekey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's cold and snows, well that's the way it goes. you go pay $1500 for a cheap seat in the snow, wind etc. then tell me how that's the way it is. Major FUBAR on the NFL's part.

Afraid I disagree. Football is a winter sport and should be played outside in whatever conditions are present. Domes and enclosed stadiums are the work of the devil. Much like deer stands.

Domes and enclosed stadiums are the work of the devil. Much like deer stands. I agree with the players having to play in any conditions, do you really think though that the majority of fans actually at the SB are that diehard? Most are fairweathered at best and more than likely have heated, carpeted deer stands. This is going to bite them hard unless a home team is one of the participants.

Then the "real" fan will be able to get a seat. Been a long time since an actual fan was able to get a seat at the SB and of course we know that won't happen no matter what the weather. But I can dream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well over 50 percent of seats sold are for corporate giveaways. I get a freebie to a cold ass rainy stadium in Feb. and I sell it then watch it in the nice warm confines of my house. Lots of no shows if the weather turns nasty. Edited May 25, 2010 by Hugh B Tool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domes and enclosed stadiums are the work of the devil. Much like deer stands. Afraid I disagree. It's more of a fall sport. The "winter months" are December, January and February. So, the majority of the season's played in the fall. That said, I'm fine with football being played in whatever the conditions are, including the Super Bowl. Heck, it rained cats and dogs in Miami a few years ago for the Colts/Bears debacle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just think if it is snowing say an inch an hour and the game ends up 7-6 on a play caused by bad weather. Vegas and bettors would not be happy, and many a TV sets will be watching Heidi instead.

tazinib1 Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Yep..just like when the Yankees are in the World Series. Man all those empty seats. If corporate joe sells his seat to a New Yorker/New Jersey native, I can guarantee you the weather will not play a factor on there attendance.

Hello Noonan, one is played in early fall and one is played in the dead of winter. Bad comparison at best. Aside from the fact that the WS is a home and home event. And I do seem to remember bad weather WS games where attendance was nowhere near ticket sales. Sabe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt770 Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I prefer outdoor stadiums and natural grass, and I'm cool with games being played in whatever elements are present. But, I still think they should try to minimize the chances of weather affecting the Super Bowl. They will rethink this decision if there is a blizzard that day. If the NFL is deciding that cold/snow is no longer a concern, then they should eliminate the random chance that a team could have homefield advantage. Instead, the team with the better record should be awarded homefield, whether it's Green Bay or Miami or Buffalo. An added benefit is fewer teams would bench starters in weeks 16 and 17.

I cannot think of a single World Series game played by the Yanks or Boston that was not filled to capacity. Not one.

Infinity Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 NFL teams/players should be able to play in all conditions. If they can't handle it, they don't deserve to win anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
