Nah - football is an all weather sport - the fans need to accept it and suck it up. Personally I think the colleges should do a 16 team playoff series at home for the higher seed and the superbowl should shuffle through every NFL stadium on a rotating basis. The whole “hold the bowls in the south” routine only punishes those teams who are built for the winter season and rewards those built for the south. If you don’t believe it then prove it by sending the southern teams up north for the next 3 years of bowl competitions. I’m sure there are plenty of stadiums that can support the same size crowds. Besides why should southern fans get more chances for those tickets due to travel budgets.

Okay, I can understand the whole travel budget thing, but really, Going to the Superbowl, no matter where it’s played is an expense most of us would plan and save for if we could ever afford to do it at all. As for northern teams being accustomed to the cold, hell man, I bet they would be drooling at the prospect of playing in Miami or San Diego instead of some frozen north gulag.

Seriously.
