The_Admiral Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Yeah, having people lodged in moored cruise ships and Super 8s was not ideal. I'd be fine with a permanent rotation of Miami, Los Angeles, Phoenix, and New Stadium That's Owed A Favor. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can only make so many different designs with a sun and a palm tree.But give me Super Bowl L in the Rose Bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 It wasn't even cold the year Jacksonville got it, just nippy. They were still Super Bowl blacklisted though.Lack of hotel space, not weather. Weather isn't even an iota of a factor on why they wont get it the next 20 years.Given that Atlanta got blacklisted for a freak ice storm I'd wager the weather played a part in it.

I kind of want to fancy the idea of Tampa hosting the Super Bowl again some day, but this isn't exactly a glamour market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njmeadowlanders Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Snow is one thing. As far as the temperature, so long as you're not at the game, does it really matter? If it's 35 or 20 or 50 degrees, what's the difference?Well it matters to the people at the game. Going to the Super Bowl is an experience in and of itself. If it's freezing, and people there are having a less then stellar time, then it will definitely impact whether or not there's another open air cold weather Super Bowl.It wasn't even cold the year Jacksonville got it, just nippy. They were still Super Bowl blacklisted though.Exactly. So that's what, 80,000 people out of how many hundreds of million people that tune in?And yes, you'll hear all the media types bitching and moaning about how it's cold and why aren't we in Miami blah blah blah like you always do.Outside of those people though, let 'em be cold, whatever. People don't have a problem embracing the Frozen Tundra of Lambeau Field or anything like that. So let some of those corporate suits sack up for a few hours.

Island_Style Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 BTW, the game time temp was 59. Is that really cold? People pissed they had to break out the windbreaker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSky Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 You might be surprised to learn which was the coldest SB ever. I sure was surprised...and I was at the game! I still have my ticket stub with its now-ludicrous face value price of $15. Still have these, too.I remember it being cold but turns out the game time temp of 39 is the lowest ever for a Super Bowl.

If it's 35 or 20 or 50 degrees, what's the difference?It's not just the game. If this were a regular season or other postseason game, then there's indifference on the climate and temperature. All the doomsday predictions the league is circling around are the pregame and halftime stuff, especially with the moving of stages, fireworks and trying to perform without catching hypothermia.It wasn't even cold the year Jacksonville got it, just nippy.

The bid who loses becomes the shoo in for SB 51. After that, it's a toss up for SB 52 between many cities (at last I heard bids for Indy, New Orleans and Tampa).

tBBP Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 If it works in New York it could work in Seattle. Not holding my breath, of course.Call me crazy if you wish but, after having just come back from up there, so long as it doesn't get too windy—and as long as there are no chain laws in effect through Snoqualmie Pass*—wouldn't mind seeing the Super Bowl up there, either. More people deserve to see the Pacific Northwest, even at that time of year...steady drizzle or no.

Kramerica Industries Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Sometimes, reading Buc posts about his trucking escapades tells me more about the geography of America than a professor could.I would be in favour of Super Bowl L myself being hosted in the new stadium in San Francisco Santa Clara.

Otherwise, yeah, February is generally mild enough here that you're looking at 40-55 degrees in a drizzle for a few hours. It's not ideal football conditions, but not the worst either. Century Link field is awesome though and manages to hold power through eight Seahawks games, random NCAA games, a million Sounders games, and the odd U2 concert here and there. Bring it on!(I'm with you on Snoqualmie Pass frustrations. I'm not a regular driver, but drove through over Christmas in a pretty awful snowstorm.
