    The Great Super Bowl Debate

    Namely:

    Why oh why can't we have a Super Bowl in a cold-weather outdoor stadium?

    We have 'em at cold-weather domes (Detroit in a couple years), so it can't be because of fear of the weather messing up ancillary activites in the host city.

    And it can't be because the game would be bad, since most Super Bowls are ass anyway.

    It has to be fear of not selling the tickets. But come on. Do any of us really believe a Super Bowl in Chicago wouldn't sell-out? That there wouldn't be people lined up for blocks to be in the lottery to get a ticket? Or a Super Bowl in Green Bay? Imagine that! Those people live for football. Boston? For crying out loud, why can't we have a Super Bowl in Boston?!

    I'm so damned sick of the Super Bowl staying in the southern half of the country, with once-in-a-blue-moon trips up to northern domes.

    I agree. After the revolution, the Superbowl will be played in Soldier Field.
    Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

          It's because they want nice weather for all the NFL bigwigs that are going to be there.

                  and I thought this would be about the refusal of the NFL to run ads promoting tourism to my city.

                    some of your cases have to deal with money. Chicago, although a refurbished stadium probably doesn't have as many seats as new ones. And Green Bay definately doesn't have that many seats.

                            The new Gillette Stadium in Foxboro (MA) has enough seats and there's no way a SuperBowl up here wouldn't sell out (double negative...meaning it would sell out easily)

                            It's probably because of the half-time show. There's no way Kelly Clarkson would sing in 10-degree weather.

                              to half time shows.

                              real football fans don't need em'. We'd rather see statistics during halftime. I know I would.
