DEAD! Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 It was only a matter of time when Tampa would host the Super Bowl. I think St. Louis should try to bid for the Super Bowl I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yh Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 It was only a matter of when Tampa would host the Super Bowl. I think St. Louis should try to bid for the Super Bowl This will be Tampa's fourth Super Bowl, so it's not like this is any groundbreaking move.As for St. Louis? The next games up for bid will be in 2010 (if NY doesn't get their stadium), 2011 and 2012. Whether the Edward Jones Dome will still be "Super Bowl" caliber by that time is anyone's guess. On the upside, St. Louis's downtown area near the stadium will have just undergone a very ambitious makeover which could quite possibly make it an attractive candidate if the league is inclined to continue to throw a random bone to cold weather cities with domes. Additionally, the overhaul of St. Louis's airport is scheduled to be completed by then which will also help the cause. Given the success of this year's Final Four and the positive press the city received in its very brief turn in hosting the last two games of the World Series, anything is possible.

Audiodrama Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 Man, they really need new sites to host the Super Bowl. Tampa just had the game in 2001, if I remember correctly. I'd love to see it in more cold-weather environments. (Hint, hint: HOLD IT IN FOXBORO. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBGKon Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 i was worried that Tampa wouldnt get the Super Bowl in '09 since the Falcons owner was offering millions of dillars to renovate the GA Dome and for the fact that they have gone one year longr than Tampa since their last SB. I guess our beautiful January/February weather won it for us. Bring on Super Bowl XLIIIAnd on the topic of Tampa having it this recently after just hosting it in 2001. The other frontrunners for the '09 game were Atlanta who last hosted in 2000, Houston who just hosted in 2004, and Miami who hosted in 1999 and is hosting in 2007, Tampa or Atlanta seemed to be the top 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamingboy Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 I say they hold it in Hawaii, that way they can hold the Pro Bowl during pre-game and might actually get some people WATCH IT (the poor souls). Insert Witty Signature Here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJTank Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 I say this exclude Super Bowl participants from the Pro Bowl and have it on that open bye week. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFoA Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Eh, we were in the running to host it in 2009, but the committee figured that there was going to be another once-in-30-years crippling ice storm to hit the area for the SB. Oh well, maybe we can get it in 2013 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plaid Paint Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Is there a minimum requirement in terms of seating capacity, that stadium has to meet in order to be eligible to host a Super Bowl? Reason I ask is 'cause I heard a big reason that the NFL won't give San Diego another Super Bowl is that the seating capacity at the Murph was too small for the NFL's taste.

See Red Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Qualcomm stadium in San Diego seats more than Raymond James Stadium in Tampa -- so I doubt that's the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think the Pro bowl gets little coverage now? Those numbers would drop dramatically if that were to happen.

Gamingboy Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 I've always wondered what would happen if the a team played in the Superbowl in their own stadium (okay, so SF sorta did it once, but still). Can you imagine the debacle, I mean, it wouldn't be too much of a problem, what with the fact that something like 97% of the tickets go to sponsors/officials, but still. Insert Witty Signature Here.

But then if it's two teams like the Colts against the Packers and it's a blizzard -- that creates an entirely unfair, and unearned advantage for one team over another. Hold it in good weather and let the better team win -- not the team that's more setup to win in certain conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
