2014 Super Bowl Awarded to New York

[get louder at lambeau]

If i look a the list of past and future SB sites. The two closest in Population to GB would be Tampa and Minny. If you look at the counties in which those cities reside they have about 400k. Whereas Brown County is only 100k. Which city do you think is better suited to accomodate everything that goes along with a SB?

now instead of looking at the two exceptions, look at the pop's on the other cities. Miami, LA, Houston, San Diego and now New York. Those populations are in the millions. Combine this with the possiblity of bad weather in Greenbay. It will never happen. Like i posted earlier, it took New York (the largest market in the USA) to build a billion dollar stadium in order for that city to get a SB. You'll see a dome over lambeau before you'll see a superbowl in lambeau.

Not to nit-pick but Brown County has a population of around 245,000. The city of GB has around 101,000. I agree, a Super Bowl won't happen in GB - it doesn't have the infrastructure or the lodging to accomodate an event like the SB.

Not to nit-pick even more but...

The Tampa metro area is 2.7 million people. The Minneapolis metro area has 3.5 mil. GB metro has about 300,000. Never, ever, ever, ever gonna happen.

The NFL could also tell GB that, if we decided to pitch our stadium. Tell us that we need x amount of 4 star hotels in the area for it. If that were the case, I am sure our state would be more then willing to build those hotels if it means hosting a super bowl. Hosting a single Super Bowl you would think is a massive revenue boost that year.

I misread the stat i got off citydata.com. I thought they were giving county stats, not just the city stat. my bad. I should have realized those numbers seemed low for county data. Thats what you get for researching and working at the same time.

imagine the fan outcry if they dumped lambeau for a superbowl? It would also mean that we would, most likely, need to build a domed stadium. no thanks!

And what exactly is Green Bay going to do with all those hotels once the Super Bowl is over?

Sell them to Appleton.

Murph intrigued by a Superbowl in GB?

[packerbacker1234]

Yeah, obviously it wont happen. It took a new stadium and a city like New York to even get it to happen once, but man I would love to see the ice bowl one more time.

As Andrew Brandt said, the SB in NYC is all about NYC post 9/11. Never happen for any other cold weather, outdoor venue IMO.

I know, I've seen it.

I don't know if we can ever say it will "never" happen again. It depends on how well it goes. Say it's a snow game, and everyone is just out there having a blast, it gets the highest ratings of any SB... it's going to be hard pressed to not consider an outdoor game again.

I don't even car eif the game has to be NY every time, the fact it's an outdoor game where they could potentionally be snow is more then enough for me.

I'm guessing the outdoor SB experiment is going to be a dud. If the temps plunge, tickets will be going for face value on the street as the rich wimps dive for a cozy nook with an HDTV instead.

Personally, I prefer the Super Bowl to be determined by the players on the field...not the weather conditions. My only beef with the current rotation of sites is that it provides the chance for a home field advantage if a certain team (Saints, Cardinals, Bucs, etc.) makes the Super Bowl in a year they are hosting the SB.

IMO, you make Los Angeles the permanent home of the Super Bowl. The city can't properly support a team on its own...but it is an absolutely perfect place to host a Super Bowl. No potential HFA. The weather is usually ideal there that time of year as well. And Hollywood just goes with the Super Bowl far better than Oneida Bingo and Piggly Wiggly.

Green Bay doesn't need the Super Bowl to be special...so why be SO DESPERATE to have it in our crib?
