Got this from the ESPN poll...I thought it would make for an interesting discussion...
Should the NFL rotate the Super Bowl to every city, regardless of the stadium or weather?
Northman

No, just warm climates

They should just hold it in Vegas every year.

Why though? Throughout the season teams play in all kinds of weather conditions, why should the Super Bowl be any different?
EDIT: Because teams can use it as an "excuse" for losing?

because its more of a party. imagine if u tried to have a huge eventlike superbowl in say minni's old stadium?
sides whats wrong w/ playing the superbowl in good weather? seems perfectly reasonable to me.

so it is fun to watch I like it outside I agree slap I know you are joking but Vegas or a place that does not have a team is a great idea one the field would be in great shape also the town could be set up to make it big like canton does every year for the HOF
TheManeMan

Well, if you think about it...IF IF IF all 32 stadiums were to hold a Super Bowl it would take 31 years for it to come back to that same city...wouldnt there be new stadiums be built in that time span?
Dont get me wrong, I like how the system is structured now and dont want to see any drastic changes....but, it is an interesting idea to be tossed around...

Even if they started it next year, theyd probably put Denver at the bottom of the list and I wouldn't see it here till I was almost 60.

Play it in New Orleans for the next 5 years to help get the City/Region on it's feet.
After that, warm climates only, equally split.

You don't know that. It doesn't take a direct hit every year or every 20 years for that matter. The NFL is committed there and it remains a great party town. It would help the region tremendously as well if they held it there in '07 - '12 and then resume with it's previous SB schedule.
NOLA haters wouldn't like it, but it would be a great gesture on behalf of the league in order to to help the people in that area.

It was spared by mere miles two years ago...and it took a direct hit last year. It's going to be a long time until the whole Gulf Coast is safe.....the warmer the water...the bigger the Hurricane...there climate isn't going to shift so much that we shouldn't be prepared for the worst...so I think a Super Bowl there anytime soon is a crazy idea. Maybe 2012...but right now...with no real plan and weak local leadership...it would be insane to commit anything there.
If the NFL wants "equity" and "parity" through revenue-sharing and the salary cap, why should the location of the Super Bowl be any different? The host cities reap MILLIONS upon MILLIONS of $$$ spent in their local economy. How is that equitable if not all teams get the same opportunity for their hometown to host?

Kinda like the "gesture" (more like "middle finger") the NFL gave the Saints by giving the Giants an EXTRA home game. What will be interesting is what the NFL does when the Giants play the Saints AT HOME in the future - the right thing would be to move the game to New Orleans (or wherever else they relocate to).

They also don't need the revenue a SB can bring more than NOLA right now.
Honestly, the hurricane hit was a freak occurance...yes it could happen again sure, but to treat it like it's gonna be an every year affair is not realistic. I think it'd be a nice gesture and great for rebuilding the area....a lot wouldn't agree with that for various reasons and that's fine, but the League would come out of it looking pretty good I think.

With all the due respect in the world to those who endured the New Orleans tragedy, and I sincerely mean that, I don't understand how so many people never expected such a devastating blow to their community despite living on land that was "below sea level." I don't care how "technologically advanced" our society has become, that arrogance tempted fate.
I live in the Midwest where we have our fair share of tornados. That would be like us building houses with no basements and no tornado shelters. No safeguards whatsoever, and even if we had "hypothetical" safeguards in place, we'd be tempting fate as well ... I do feel bad that that happened, but I don't believe rewarding them with a Super Bowl is the answer.

Ever watch the Weather Channel? They have a series on natural disasters that could happen in different parts of the USA right now.
If Dallas was wiped out by a tornado and having a SB there would help the area, I'd say do it (even though I generally don't care much for Texas)
If SF was wiped out by an earthquake and having a SB there would help the area, I'd say do it
If NYC was flooded by a hurricane and having a SB there would help the area, I'd say do it.

BINGO! Ask those that went to Atlanta a few years ago with the blizzard. It is a huge party for the week. TOugh to have fun when it is 10 degrees outside and snowing. You want a perfect game, either indoors or weatherwise. Nobody wants to watch a blizzard game of 6 to 3. Have perfect conditions so there are no excuses. My cities that should be choosen and only choosen are in order 1) San Diego 2) Miami 3) Los Angeles/Orange County (once they get a team) 4) New Orleans 5) Arizona 6) Tampa Bay

It'll never happen but, the Super Bowl should done like MLB does it....one year play it at the homefield of the AFC winner, next season play it on the homefield of the NFC winner. And season ticket holders should be rewarded by being able to attend if their team makes it there....same seats, etc. I'm all about the fans getting their way...afterall they are why guys like TO are still millionaires despite being the biggest asshole in the world.
If they won't do that then perhaps the SB should be played in Hawaii every year....and rotate the Pro Bowl game thru every NFL city alternating AFC and NFC. But that would bring up the problem of players declining to play in it because who the hell wants to play in Cleveland period...let alone in February?

"NOLA Homer" eh....well, being a former resident (albeit briefly) and it being my fave city in the USA to visit, I guess one could call me that...but you're missing the point. It's not solely about New Orleans, it's about helping out our own people that are in need. As I pointed out time and again in this thread, I don't care where it is in the nation......any area in the country that was devestated by a natural disaster, if it could benefit those residents by having the SB set up shop there for a couple of years, then I'm all for it.
Your negative bias against NOLA is quite pronounced. Would you be this adament about abandoning say San Francisco if a quake wiped out that city because it's on a fault line? Or Dallas because it's in tornado alley? I mean screw those people right?..They live in areas that are potentially dangerous hence they deserve everything they get....it's their own fault and all that......is that the thinking here?

I have to agree with Garcia here. If they DID hold it down in NOLA next year, and along comes the next big natural disaster there, then where's the progress? You're right back to square one.
Wait for a stretch of non-city threatening hurricanes, and then do it up. I think NOLA is different than "other" cities in the sense that it is literally below sea level. No other city in the country has the distinction of needing a levy system to protect it from constant daily life.
The rebuilding process down there is going to be a LOOOOOOONG term thing (my hasmat buddies in the relief effort say another 10 - 15 years if EVER), and you can bet your a$$ that celebrities, charities, and the government will be doing a LOT of work to restore it, no matter how foolish of an idea it may be.
Rather than having it there RIGHT NOW, why not wait until the immediate danger passes and do it 5 or 10 years down the road when they're REALLY going to need the money (assuming by then americans will have lost interest)?

I don't have a proble with the neutral site, per se. What I take issue with is the fact that some teams, statistacally, can wind up playing a Superbowl in their home city while other can not. If Miami, Tampa, San Diego, etc... have the chance of playing a Superbowl at their home stadiums, why not Denver, Cleveland, Buffalo, etc...It's odd that a league that cries for parity dosn't want to share the Superbowl all 'round or limit it to truly neutral sites.
For those who want to be toasty warm during the game. It's football, a game created to be played outdorrs. The league schedules the games in the fall and winter. Deal with it. If it's too cold for you, don't go and let a fan willing to brave the elements for their team take your seat.

I LOOOOOVE that city, and if people want to rebuild and try to make it the place it once was, then it's our duty as fellow americans to try and help out in any way possible within our means.
I don't think anybody's "against" NO, but it's hard to comprehend why you would want to put yourself through something so horrible twice...or even more.
The steadily increasing trend of hurricanes per season is a strong indicator that this is going to happen again. and again. I just hope everybody can understand that it was a MIRACLE that nothing like this happened before we had the means to try and combat it. Since we have the knowledge and technology now, you would think people would realize that it's going to keep happening.
I haven't lost a home or family though, so it's harder for me to comprehend what they're going through. All I can do is try to support them.

I like the idea of helping NOLA wi tht he SB, its actaully a great idea. It wont happen, but something as simple as that would be a grand gesture.

Just curious...for those of you against New Orleans...how many of you have been there before Katrina.
What I liked about it was it's culture...the fact that it's different from any other city in the US...it's not the "Clone" that NY, LA and other US cities are...and it's the people and history that make that city.Interesting. You could say the same thing about Miami and its distinct Latin American culture and history, yet you call it a pit.

Hopefully all of us have been to New Orleans before Hurricane Katrina, because who the **** would wanna go there now?

The state of Florida in general is just awesome, especially the Ft. Lauderdale/Miami/Hollywood area.

I understand the economic boom Super Bowls have on cities but I would like to see a dedicated site. A city that doesn't have a team, but large enough to handle the influx of people. If Canton was a warmer or they built a dome there with a roof I would like to see the game held there every year. It would add importance to the state that spawned the pro game.

I think it would be cool to award super bowls to the winner of the previous super bowl as an added incentive to repeat and threepeat. Not only does the team want to play for home field etc. But the city and regional will pget more involved for the financials. I know the idea of going to Philadelphia for a Super Bowl doesn't chime with sexy ooze, but if you give the cities incentive maybe they can provide the atmosphere.

Miami is a PIT.
Yuck!
A pit? Hilarious!
And your reasoning for New Orleans is a joke. And on top of that... You're from North Dakota. That pretty much sums it up.

Are you kidding me? How many times have you been there? If you're going to refer Miami as a pit, you might as well call Norleans the depths of hell.

I'm not saying New Orleans is the cleanest of cities...it's not...but it's NOT Miami either...and I've been to both. I just prefer NO is all.
As for ND...it's clean.

They should just hold it in Vegas every year.
Amen Bro...How cool would that be. Vegas (my hometown in my teens) would show the league a real good time. And there are plenty of chapels too.

Yes, but there's a much HIGHER percentage of LEGAL residents in New Orleans than in Miami.

Yes...and the people of New Orleans seem to be a friendlier bunch than the Miami folk.

32 teams in the NFL. Every team should get a shot at hosting a title game. Tired of seeing it in Miami, or New Orleans, or Houston or SD. Screw the warm weather ****. I want to see a superbowl snowgame.
