What do you think about the SB's rotating "always sunny" locations? Personally, I think that it takes away the point of playing games in Seattle, Buffalo and Green Bay (for example) to not be able to play the biggest game at home in conditions they are used to (assuming that Seattle, Buffalo or GB would have been the home team anyway). I don't understand the point in taking away home field advantage for one game out of the year. Now if a team with a dome or a southern club wins the #1 seed and makes the superbowl then good for them, but why bother giving them an unfair advantage and not the 15-20 other teams that could never host the big game again?
It would be a disaster for the league (imo) if Dallas gets to the superbowl next year, at home and has 120k screaming fans yelling at some poor suckers like *making up team* the Alaskan Eskimos who would have a hell of a time getting any fans down to Dallas, let alone still have the money for a ticket.

Van, they like to set these things up waaaayyyy in advance. People need to book their hotel rooms & flights. There has to be enough decent hotels to acommodate the crush. And who in their right mind would want to come to Buffalo for an open-air Super Bowl in February?? And Green Bay is even dinkier, no?

I agree that it is unfair for Dallas to be in a SB if they are supposed to be hosting it as a neutral site....but the League wants to go where the money is.

Football is a show the league will never put the Bowl where it snows, even if there was a dome, something to do with the hype leading up to it and it sort of being a vacation for the players much like the pro bowl, which is just an elaborate fan payed week vacation usually to hawaii. i do like the neutral sort of atmosphere. i'd say depending on who is likely to play in the game don't make it a home game for them. I wouldn't doubt if more saints fans can make the trip than indy fans just based on distance.

If it's a dome or closed in Stadium, it will host a Superbowl at some point in time.

And you can't buy tickets to the Superbowl, you have to win the tickets or your company has to give them to you.

There is nowhere to buy a Superbowl ticket straight from the actual event. Half the people watching the Superbowl knew they were going to go to that Superbowl probably at least a year or two in advance.

You might be able to find the Tickets on ebay, but you'll never find them on ticketmaster.

My vote is for a land far far away where it's very cold, no TV or media coverage and no sponsors. Like Tunguska or Antarctica. Also, they don't get a nice field to play it on. Instead, frozen/jagged land with big rocks and ice jutting up from beneath them and they use a big brick. Not a pig-skin. A nice, big, heavy brick. A cinderblock would be nice.

If you can't tell, I'm not a fan of the game.

Miami has apparently been told they'll need to upgrade their dump of a stadium in order to be considered for future SBs.

I take it you've never been to Dolphins Stadium. It's actually an awesome facility for football with all the modern amenities (short of Jerry Jones). All that the NFL wants is a roof because they don't like the players having messy uniforms if it happens to rain.

Still, other than that, it's absolutely perfect. Ideal weather, big money, nightlife galore in South Beach and Ft. Lauderdale, phenomenal accomodations...it's all here.

ive been once. again, the city totally deserves the super bowl, but dolphins stadium is a relic already, and its just boring mcgee. its basically the target center in minneapolis without a roof. and its HORRIFIC for baseball. hows the new marlins stadium coming along?

i think my favourite football stadium is baltimores... whatever its called this week. MST Bank stadium?

Out of the 43 Superbowls played only once has it ever rained on the field.

Camden Yards Mike :P

I think a neutral site does kind of take away from the game.

Not Florida, in a state oversaturated with professional sports teams. You could almost take one team from each sport out of that state, without having anyone bat an eye.

Florida Panthers
Florida Marlins
Jacksonville Jaguars
