TBGKon Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Just on a whim, I got the idea to consider where Super Bowl 50th Anniversary game will be played in 2016. Many options are out there, here are my speculative options:1. Los Angeles/Southern California - a return to the site of the original Super Bowl. Only drawback right now is that there isn't a current Super Bowl caliber stadium there2. Dallas/Arlington - Why not have the Super Bowl in Jerry Jones' shrine to football, it may even be Dallas' first Super BowlI know this is an odd thread right now, but I was brainstorming while at work all day today.

rainmaker17 Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 I read somewhere that Dallas would get a Super Bowl between 2010-2012 because of the new stadium. I don't think they'll make Jerry wait until 2016. But what do I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian in Boston Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Just on a whim, I got the idea to consider where Super Bowl 50th Anniversary game will be played in 2016.Technically speaking, the 50th Annual Super Bowl will be played in 2016. The 50th Anniversary Super Bowl will be played in 2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfwabel Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Super Bowl XL has to be in Southern California they need a stadium and in 9 years should have one unless they are incompetentNJ Tank, remember the 50th Super Bowl will be "Super Bowl L". L is the roman numerial for 50. I do not even understand your response. Talk about "run on sentence", please wait another 60 secones before you hit reply.A 50th Annversary is the Golden Anniversary, so why not just a styalized gold "L"? The did that at the 50 for Super Bowl XXV. they did it for others, but I think it did not look as good or proper. As for areas, that do not mean anything. It could be in San Diego as it appears as if the City of Oceanside has given the Charges as stadium offer as early as this past Friday. I heard it as I was driving from the Central Valley to the coast. Oceanside residents still have to vote on it though.Super Bowl XLV (45, I think) is scheduled to be in Arlington or even 46 if the facility is not completed. I am not sure that it wil be back that soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Clemente Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 I bring up my Super Bowl L logo concept that I posted here last year as a suggestion:--Roger "Time?" Clemente.

Viper Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 [silly-mode]It should be at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, because (1) Lambeau starts with an L, and (2) it could be an homage to Vince Lombardi (hey, there's another L) and his famous quote, "What the 'L' is going on out here?"[/silly-mode] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pharos04 Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I had always thought that they should hold it at the LA Coliseum even if there is a team there or not because that's where the first one was held and it's where it should be held regardless. And i agree with dfwabel that it should be a stylized golden L. that would look pretty good if done right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclopsis Joe Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Yeah, who cares that the Coliseum is rotting into the ground, and probably will be about to collapse by '15, let's have it there anyway! I don't speak for democrats, democrats don't speak for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBGKon Posted January 15, 2007 Author Share Posted January 15, 2007 I think the Edward Jones Dome is too small (not enough seating). That or St. Louis doesn't have enough hotel space.According to Wikipedia, these are the stipulations for a Super Bowl applicant city: * Average high temperature of at least 50 degrees Fahrenheit in February, unless the game is being played in an indoor arena * Stadium with 65,000 seats or more * Space for 10 photo trailers and 40 television trucks * 600,000 square feet of exhibit space for fan events * Large, high-end hotel for teams and NFL * 50,000 square feet of space for news media ("Radio Row") * Enough "quality" hotel rooms within a one-hour drive for 35% of the stadium's capacity * Separate practice facilities for each team.Based on these factors, Edward Jones Dome has the capacity (66,000). As for hotels, the would need hotels for 23,100 fans within an hour of town. I would assume they fit this category, but I don't know. The also most likely have exhibit space next door in the America's Center Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they'll end up being the lucky host of "L". (Let's just hope it turns out to be a bit more entertaining than the one at the Metrodome.)
