good times...

NFL NBA MLB all ass kissing, pandering, PC suckups.

As my Dad (RIP) used to say: nothing's too good for the taxpayers.

When the politicians see their new luxury box seats on the 3D graphic model of the new stadium, how could they possibly vote no?

I like the idea of a Super Bowl with snow, but Chicago? I wouldn’t want to go there.

Stadium is too small.

Otherwise, I have no problem with the SB being played in inclement weather.

Right After Lambeau Field hosts a Super Bowl!!

I bet the Chicago mob and Politicians (or are they the same?) would rig it that 'DA BEARS' win that SUPER BOWL!!

Green Bay has more of a right to host a super bowl than Chicago!! (taking off my cheesehead hat!)

I agree that weather is a big part of football. I love the fact that the Viqueens will be an outdoor team again. That being said, I always thought it was bullshiite that Arizona was denied home games in September while they played in Sun Devil Stadium. The NFL claimed it was too hot. It’s hot in Dallas, Jacksonville, Tampa, and Miami in Sept. Why did the cold weather teams get their home field advantage, and Arizona didn’t? For the record I am a Cowboys fan, but I never thought the NFL was being fair to the Cardinals.

The perfect gangsta fit... the NFL and Chicago. Hey kids, drive-bys at halftime!

They need a neutral site. Especially after giving it to NY. Now all the cold weather teams will want one.

Las Vegas would be perfect. I realize the NFL does not like the sports betting but Vegas is the perfect place

This will NEVER happen. Too much money involved. Too much tourism to ever have the Stupid Bowl in the north without a dome.

I'm against this idea for one reason: in early February, Chicago could be socked in by an intense blizzard, which essentially shuts down the ENTIRE city and could make playing the game nearly unbearable (pun very intended here!) at outdoor Soldier field. That was why when Indianapolis hosted the Super Bowl this year, they put all the events within close walking distance of one another out of consideration that if there was a major snowstorm going through everyone could still get around without needing vehicular transportation.
