LETSGOBROWNIES Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Every NFL city should get a shot. So what if it’s cold, if you can play 4 figures or more for a ticket, you can afford a coat and gloves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chargers Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 I know they have in past but I want to see San Diego get another shot at hosting a Super Bowl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what if it’s cold, if you can play 4 figures or more for a ticket, you can afford a coat and gloves. The circus has gotten so big that they've outgrown several/many NFL cities ability to provide the infrastructure. 30 K hotel rooms plus indoor practice facilities for 2 teams plus all of the transportation requirements. The NFL list of requirements is bordering on absurd, including closing 3 local golf courses to the public so the fat cats can play. When minny hosted, somebody leaked the info, its pretty amazing how thoroughly the league bends over the host city and the concessionaires: http://www.documentcloud.org/documents/1184220-20140605190910.html#document/p36 https://www.si.com/nfl/audibles/2014/06/09/super-bowl-2018-requirements-minnesota-vikings The 153-page document includes all of the expected requests including having reservations at two "top quality" bowling lanes and three "top quality" 18-hole golf courses in near proximity to the host venue. * the NFL requests that team hotels subscribe to the NFL Network for at least one year leading up to the Super Bowl * asking for full tax exemption from the city, state and local taxes on tickets sold to the game and the events leading up to it. * The league has the option to install ATMs at the stadium that accept NFL preferred credit and debit cards, and the option to cover up ATMs that don't accept those preferred cards * Local media is also asked to provide "significant advertising and promotional time" -- for free, of course -- in the weeks leading up to the Super Bowl. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nabbs4u Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 ^^^Not surprising in the least really. It's the Most Watched Singular Sporting Event on the Planet. The NFL is about Making Money, Period! They don't want the press of a potential nightmare situation where the two weeks leading up to that game or the game itself is Crap. Lodging, Transportation, Field Conditions, Events, ect. That's why the standards are Rediculous, to ensure certain cities are blocked, lets be real. Right ,wrong doesn't matter when it comes to the Hundreds of Millions if not Billion Dollars a SB brings to the NFL, Host and Adverstisers!

But you still need a hotel room and the league officials need a decent sized facility to host parties and meetings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cant think of 1 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Denver or Chicago I’d like to see a Super Bowl in the snow DC (if and when they get a new stadium, not the POS they have now) and Baltimore If they were to do one for a city that doesn’t have a team (I think they did this a couple times back in the day) I think Orlando would make the most sense, maybe San Antonio or Austin but very doubtful.

Calamity_Cometh Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Lambeau, if they haven't. I'd love to see these millionaires suffer the cold as a Minnesotan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
