In order to deliver a Super Bowl, the NFL wants free luxury hotel rooms, police escorts and tax exemption from the host city. A leaked report reveals the league's 153 pages of requests for the 2018 Super Bowl in Minneapolis.
Two years ago, the Minnesota State Legislature and the city of Minneapolis were ready to walk away from a plan to provide approximately $500 million to Vikings owner Zygi Wilf to pay more than half the costs a new stadium. It took a veiled threat to move the team to Los Angeles and a dramatic last-minute lobbying campaign from NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, but the will of a few people prevailed. The Vikings got their stadium and eventually the 2018 Super Bowl. Now, the NFL has a few demands of its own, 153 pages worth of them.
Minneapolis and the two other finalists for the 2018 Super Bowl were presented a list of demands by the NFL prior to voting on which city would get the big game, a list the Minneapolis Star Tribune was able to get a copy of along with confirmation that the city agreed to meet a "majority" of the league's demands.

The talk here is the NFL is madder’n hell and embarrass this document got published. Kudos to the Red Star. A rare scoop.

So, don’t bid on the event.
Houston told the Oilers to GTFO.
Fixed it.
Local radio guy had a field day with this. Had his list of unpublished demands.
One of them was - all babies conceived 6 months before and 6 months after the Super Bowl are the property of the NFL.
Police escorts? That’s nothing new. A lot of NFL players have had police escorts.
there it is...
Another one was “NFL owners and their guests have the right to have sex with any woman in the 7 county area”.
Prima Nocta...
Correct! Tax dollars for a stadium for a league that makes billions of dollars just like PA built stadiums and let the owners off the hook. Amazing that the lowbrows who go to the games and pays out the ass to watch the millionaires play.
The NFL can KMA.
They get priority plowing too. If it shows the street from the big shots to the stadium gets plowed first.
I shit you not.
shows = snows.
Hey, I BELIEVE you! LOL!!!
My theory is that not having a team in Los Angeles is the most profitable thing the NFL has done. Would any city be threatened into building a billionish dollar stadium when the team hints that it will move to Portland, Oregon? (Portland is the next largest metro area without a nearby NFL team after LA.)
ROFL!!!!
To Hell with the NFL. Anti-Second Amendment entities don’t get my money or my eyeballs.
