New York City Super Bowl Bid

The NFL owners are expected to vote on the site of the 2014 Super Bowl. It is expected that New York City will be easily win it bids at the summer meetings this year. Does this open the door for other cold weather teams to host the NFL's biggest game?

Why New York?

The game wouldn't really be in New York; the stadium is across the river in New Jersey. But the NFL is salivating at the opportunity to host a game in a "new" stadium. The Jets and Giants open their new shared home field this year. Thought the Meadowlands Stadium will be four years old at that time, it will be one of the newest stadiums ever to host a Super Bowl.

Besides the weather in February, the area is perfect to host a game. The size and accommodations in the various suburbs can definitely host the event in every way.

Neither Rain, Nor Sleet, Nor Snow

The downfall of any Super Bowl is the weather. Only 3 months ago, the North East was still digging out of one of the worst snow storms in recent memories. From Pennsylvania to Maine, cites were shut down and citizens were without power. What is the logistics of getting 60,000+ people to a game in the middle of a snow storm? The show must go one!
