In fact the Super Bowl should just rotate among all 30 NFL markets. The NFL doesn't care about any of that, they care about ratings and money. The majority of fans attending a SB don't want to freeze thier ***** off, sit in snow, sleet or rain. The Majority of artists participating in the SB don't want to freeze thier ***** off, perform in snow, sleet or rain. SB week is and the events leading up to it would be an absolute nightmare transportation wise, logistics, safety you name it if like New York when they got extremely lucky a Blizzard showed up days earlier before the SB not just days afterwards dumping 10ft of snow. That is why they will never risk it again. It is the largest Sporting Event Production every year. Money, 💰, 💰, Money! It's all that matters.

Unfortunately, there's a well-known fact that the NFL is enforcing by not fairly rotating the Super Bowl among every market - "money causes more problems than it solves". Besides, cold-weather football is real football. And the NFL owes Cleveland hosting rights to a Super Bowl because they didn't handle the Modell situation correctly. What they should have done in 1995 was force Modell to sell the Browns to an owner willing to keep the team in Cleveland, while the team would temporarily play games at Ohio State while the new stadium was under construction, where the Browns would have been treated to OSU's gameday traditions in the process, while Modell is awarded a version of the Ravens built through an expansion draft in 1998, meaning Memorial Stadium would never see a Ravens game. Because they did it the way they did, Cleveland Browns Stadium is the oldest NFL venue never to have hosted a playoff game of any kind. It hasn't even hosted college postseason games, only high school. Which gets me to this - there should be a CFP title game in Cleveland, as well as a yearly college bowl game matching teams from the Big Ten and MAC.

pf9 Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Furthermore, by rotating the Super Bowl among all 30 markets, the NFL would be the only league that guarantees each of its markets would host the final round at some point due to the neutral-site nature of the event. The other major leagues can't guarantee this because their final rounds are not neutral-site, but at the venues of the participating teams. MLB is the league that has come closest to staging its final round, the World Series, at the home venue of every team in the league, with only the Mariners not having gone that far. The NFL should want to distinguish itself from other leagues in such a fashion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pf9 Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 The NFL doing the Modell situation the way I described would have resulted in the first NFL game staged in Columbus, Ohio in 70 years during the 1996 season, and the first ever at Ohio Stadium. The last NFL game played in Columbus was on October 16, 1926, where the hometown Tigers (formerly known as the Panhandles) lost to the Kansas City Cowboys 9-0.

pf9 Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 (edited) And the NFL staged cold-weather title games even before the New Jersey Super Bowl. Almost all such games, before the AFL existed and while the AFL and NFL were separate leagues, took place in cold weather. One of the biggest classics is the 1967 game, the Ice Bowl, where the Green Bay Packers edged out the Dallas Cowboys in a bitter cold at Lambeau Field for the right to reprsent the NFL in the Super Bowl. I want NFL title games with such weather to occur often again. Edited December 28, 2023 by pf9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louis Friend Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 Detroit hosted a Super Bowl in 2006 and it was great. The city has only gotten better and should have a chance at another before SoFi gets its third. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notthatbluestuff Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 (edited) The Super Bowl is far beyond a game at this point. It’s an event; one of the most important events of the year - transcending sports. Nobody wants an event of this scale to be in the freezing cold, let’s be honest. I’m not even sure why I’m bothering to say this because I said it last year, probably the year before too, and I’ll be saying it next year when pf9 brings this up yet again.

pf9 Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 The Browns are now in all likelihood going to enter 2024 with the longest-active home playoff game drought. The NFL should re-award next season's Super Bowl to Cleveland, and give 62 to New Orleans in return, to mark the 310th anniversary of New Orleans.
