Detroit's hosted two super bowls...though it's been awhile for some reason. I would bet that if Chicago puts up that domed facility...they'll host a SB there.

I don’t like people enough already then make me go out to the coasts where they’re all crazy? Nope. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would bet that if Chicago puts up that domed facility...they'll host a SB there. They only really do superbowls in domed northern cities shortly after they build a new stadium. Like Minnesota had it in 2018 after they build the new stadium, but almost surely won't get another one until they build another stadium. Detroit got it in 2006 3 years after Ford Field opened and in 1982 six seasons after the Silverdome opened. Heck, the Cowboys haven't even gotten a second Super Bowl after Jerry World opened. I'm pretty sure the NFL considers bids to host the draft primarily on "teams that are model franchises who we want to reward but we won't give them the superbowl any time in the near future if ever." Like the reason the Packers are getting the draft next year is because of all the work (and money) they put into the shopping and events district around the stadium.

This. Hosting the draft is the consolation prize for cities that have little to no chance at hosting a Superbowl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Guy Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 The NFL got lucky with the one Super Bowl they did up north and outside. I want to say it was NY who hosted it. I don't think they would ever press their luck again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spilltray Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 I don't know... I don't think they'd risk it often but a snow game could be the stuff of NFL legend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazrimiv Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 It's not just the SB itself, there is also the 2-week lead up to the game. It just makes way more sense to have the location be fan friendly weather. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do sadly believe Green Bay is one of the few cities that will never host one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New York is also a place with like abundant hotel space and things to do inside if the weather doesn't cooperate, and with a maritime climate we're not like talking "the snow makes it impossible to get to the game" which is the apocalyptic scenario. Like if they had the Super Bowl in Kansas City and they had the same weather that they had for the KC/MIA game in the playoffs last season, that would have been a serious problem for the NFL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazrimiv Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 An interesting blurb I came across from a podcast transcript over at The Ringer. The podcast was discussing the new NBA media rights deal, but they hit on the general topic of why streaming services want live sports. They specifically mentioned the NFL playoff game that was streamed on Peacock, and how it worked out for NBC. Quote NBC put an NFL playoff game, a wild-card playoff game, exclusively on Peacock. They saw an enormous number—I don’t have the numbers in front of me, but they saw an enormous number of sign-ups. And you would think that people would sign up for Peacock, watch a game, and then try to save, what, $10 a month or whatever Peacock costs, and then ditch the service. What they found is that close to 70 percent of the people that signed up for that game stuck with the service and started watching other things on the service.
