Riddle Me This! Why is Super Bowl Being Played in New Jersey/New York Next Year?

$$$$$ and lots of it. They just built a new stadium I believe and part of the deal was to get a super bowl.

Ravens QB Joe Flacco calls cold-weather Super Bowl 'retarded'

last I recall NY and NJ are part of the US, have NFL teams and have lots of cash. So why not?

LOL, true! Can you imagine the logitics behind setting up this Super Bowl for next year? It is going to be awful!

It will be interesting to see how well they can handle security. Super Bowl right in New York pretty much. The potential of a terrorist threat or even a bigger threat would be the potential horrible weather conditions like what is happening now in that area.

Why not just let the Super Bowl be played every year in New Orleans or a good weather stadium?

This whole thing of it being played there is a joke. There might not even be a Super Bowl next year played if weather conditions are so bad. Can you imagine that? LOL

This will be the first time it is going to be played in an outdoor cold stadium.

Imagine this happening next year at this time when the Super Bowl is supposed to be played.

Not to mention trying to travel anywhere in a blizzard, all flights cancelled etc., sounds like it could be nightmarish. I won't be attending in any case, but a lot of people are going to find out why it's a good idea to bring food, and inflatable neck pillow, and a good book on any airplane flight.

Yeah, who wants to watch a game, especially a Super Bowl in a potential snow blizzard??

Fans want to see a good clean playing football game during the Super Bowl. Not a potential game where you don't even know where the 1st down marker is located at or players slipping and slidding and fumbling the ball all over due to horrible weather conditions.

You think the elite who are able to afford to attend these Super Bowl games and aren't even true fans of the teams playing in it anyways want to pay $5000-$50,000 a ticket to freeze their ass off?

Thread: new roof-lessMeadowlands stadium in northern NJ to host 2014 Super Bowl!

Super Bowl doom next year?

Super Bowl canceled due to horrendous weather conditions like what is happening right now in that location.

or

Major potential terrorist attack in NYC.

hmm

There wont be a NOLA next year when that sinkhole gets done

Superbowl XVI was played in Pontiac Michigan in 1982. Cold as hell, below zero temp's. They had a pub crawl set up downtown, froze your ass off waiting to get in the bars.

I believe it was played for 15 years prior to 1982 in warm weather cities. But, the new Silverdome was slotted to get a Superbowl after it's construction in 1976.

It's all about the Benjamins!

its all about the money, local newspaper reported that there might not be a halftime shows like we have seen in the past because the cold weather makes it hard for the crews to set up in a timely manner

The show will go on, said NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy, despite a report published earlier this week that said it might be broadcast from another location because the cold and potential snow or rain would make an on-field show impossible.

“We will have pregame and halftime festivities in the stadium,” McCarthy said. “It will be a different Super Bowl in everything we do. We have a plan, and in fact, we are much farther ahead” than in years past.

We made Roger Goodell an offer he can't refuse
